Sony accounce at TGS that we will rumble - Dualshock 3!

Ken Hirai has announced that the DualShock 3 will incorporate a missed feature that was missing from the Playstation 3’s launch, namely the rumble. eMagi did report about this during Sony’s and Immersion’s lawsuit where various excuses were made as to why it was not incorporated, with even Sony stating that it was “last generation”. They are now made to eat their own words and I hope they do not cost more than the current controllers.
Rumble started back on the Nintendo N64 where many eyebrows were raised when it was packed with Lylat Wars (still an awful name!). Ever since it has become part of mainstream gaming and hopefully this will be the end of the matter in Sony’s eyes. I still believe rumble has a place in gaming as immersion is becoming an ever larger keyword but many find it annoying, especially when it is badly implemented. Do any games in particular make full use of the rumble feature to you?

That’s great news! As the old DualShock 2 was simply rubbish without the vibrating feature. Playing a demo of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for example without it shaking around when you crash felt numb and uninspiring.
It’s fantastic that the technology is back and I’m looking forward to playing the Metal Gear Solid 4 with the full forceback experience! Though I wonder how many PS3 owners will feel about spending more money on a better controller?

Well I REALLY miss the vibration. But I still hate the controller. The analogue buttons are just awfull and I get cramp in minutes using this piece of crap.
But some good games to play with it would be nice Sony. Got any planned……..this side of Christmas?
No didn’t think so
