From IGN.com TGS 2007: Rumble Confirmed Sony's controllers will shake again. by Anoop Gantayat September 19, 2007 - Big shocker at today's Electronic Arts pre Tokyo Game Show press event. While playing a demo of Burnout Paradise, we felt something that we never thought we'd feel from a PS3 controller -- shake! That's right, Burnout Paradise is the first rumble-equipped PS3 game we've ever played. Which made us think at the time, if the game is making the controller shake, the controller must be a new version of the Sixaxis! In fact, the controller we were using to play the demo looked exactly like a standard Sixaxis, except that it had a sticker on the bottom that said "RUMBLE." It also felt notably heavier than the standard Sixaxis. We presume this is a prototype of the PlayStation 3's new rumble controller, whatever it's going to be called. The rumble itself felt around the level of PlayStation 2 rumble. We're not sure just yet if Sony is using any of that next generation technology Immersion has been talking about for the past few months. A formal announcement is expected tomorrow at Kaz Hirai's keynote address. As for the rest of the EA event, as well as details from today's Sony and Konami events, check back at IGNPS3 through the night. Finally the vibration is back in the controllers, make you feel more like your in the action, begin selling those six-axis controllers and stop buying spares lols....
guess they do listen to fans.......the controller as it is without the rumble sux, be it axis or no axis.......How can u do without a feature which is like the trademark of sony ps2 for the past 5 years....
lol, like back in the day when the n64 didn't have the rumble feature...you had to buy an extra addon...so what does this mean for the PS3... is it trying to create a new controller that mimics the wee numbchuks?
^ i don't think this will match the nunchucks' level of innovation at all it is basically adding a missing feature that was suppose to be there in the first place lol, one more reason for me to wait until this comes with ps3 as the default controller lol...GTA4!!!
^ But heard reports that they had "problems" fitting that on the Xbox 360 hardware, might be more graphical glitches or slower load times, dunno...
I doubt it. Rumors like these are usually caused by Sony fanboys. I need to hear a valid report before I make any assumptions.
well it's "limiting the game's progress" according to the developers, but this was a few months back: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/785/785344p1.html
Hm I don't trust IGN that much anymore . But it doesn't matter. I highly doubt that GTA IV won't run smoothly on the 360.
Even stranger is the release gap between japan and the rest of the world, november for japan and spring next year for the rest.
