If you want to experience haptic feedback in Silent Hill 2 PC, you will need to get a PS5 DualSense controller and connect it to your PC. Features like haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, etc. can be experienced on a DualSense controller, even when playing on a PC.

However, not all games support these features on PC while using a PS5 controller, which is why we will need to wait until the official release to confirm the situation for this title. Silent Hill 2 is being developed using Unreal Engine 5, which promises a visually stunning experience. The remake will utilize Nanite and Lumen technologies to create hyper-realistic lighting and highly detailed environments.

These features are best experienced when played on PC, but the lack or uncertainty of PS5-feature-support may be disappointing. However, there's still a lot to look forward to in Silent Hill 2. Bloober Team has shared that they are pushing for the best facial expressions in the series ensuring that every emotion, from fear to despair, is depicted with realism and depth.

Additionally, the highly anticipated "dynamic fog", which was initially criticized for being "lackluster", has also been improved, and the developers are confident it will impress even the most hardcore fans. So in the end, even if you can't have haptic feedback in Silent Hill 2 on PC, there's still much to look forward to for PC players.
