Årsagen skal findes i DualShock 4 controlleren, som vil fungere som en motion-tracker. Altså vil man opleve, at controlleren blinker i takt med at man modtager information om bevægelse i nærheden via motion-trackeren.
I et interview med NowGamer fortæller Napper følgende:
My favourite version is the PS4 version and I say that as a massive Microsoft fan so to say the PS4 version is my favourite feels a bit weird. The reason is and its so minor but weve made the DS4 to act like the motion tracker, so it lights up along with the radar blips and if the aliens close-by it goes off quicker.
It adds so much immersion, when its all dark and your legs are lit up in your peripheral vision.
Napper fortæller dog også, at man som Xbox One ejer ikke skal frygte at man bliver overset, for Creative Assembly har tænkt sig at lave elementer, som er unikke for de to konsoller.
