Greetings operatives!
I come bearing great news! We now have full bHaptics support!
That's right! Now you can feel everything that poor Hornet feels! Getting shot, falling into the abyss, blowing up, crashing your mirage into a ton of explosives! Sounds like an amazing experience! Right?
Oh, and by the way, there's a whoooole lot of other things we cooked with this new version! One of those things are... ACHIEVEMENTS!!! That's right, they're finally here! Also we've done some requested enemy improvements and much, MUCH more!
