Use of vibration in games

[colinkiama]

Last week i was playing on sonic cd . An s4 mini in carphone warehouse(went there to buy an sd card) and i noticed something interesting. Everytime i collected a power up, was hurt , the phone vibrated. I felt more immersed in the game. I then tried it on my windows phone but it didn't do the same thing. I wonder if windows phone games could have this feature...

There is no technical reason why WP games could not support vibration. There are some "vibrator" apps too.

Actually many games on WP use vibration. Even the WPC app can trigger one if it gets new news feed. If you're not getting vibrations on some specific games which does on other phones, it must be the dev's fault while porting to WP.

HapticFX is what I mean by this. It's kind of like when you are playing using a controller with vibration.
