» To bad for early Ps3 owners
The PS3 console its self doesnt contain rumble. So having controllers that support rumble will make no difference. Its funny how the Sony lies are building up. But we couldnt include rumble becasue is conflicted with the sixaxis.

what are you on about, consoles dont need to contain rumble, its the controller that does lol, plus a simple d/l update will add any rumble needed. nub

the PS3 does have rumble build in you just need a controller that supports it and it will not be hard for Sony to send a callback for all the early controllers and replace them with the ones that have rumbles

The game is what gives the feedback to the controller and if need be, Sony can let you download a patch for rumble.

first people complain there is no rumble in the ps3. ANd now that it is coming people suddenly decide to complain that it will be pointless. why can't you ever support something? I personally think this will be a great addition to my ps3 and maybe will quiet all those nintendo and xbox fanboys.

» The beast awakes
So now Sony realizes this will be a competition. I am really glad because I invested my money in a PS3 already. Sony looks to be making HUGE strides to own up to everything and give the people what they want. Today was a pretty big news day. By the way fannies don't rant about "oh Sony is just copying what company X did" really? You mean like having an online service *Cough* nintendo copied that idea. Or how about using CDs as a medai form? copied. I can go on FOREVER. The point is Sony has awaken and understood its better to emulate other companies and give customers what they want rather than marching to your own drum and selling jack to nobody. I would much rather have a company take an idea and try to make it better. You know, the CDs led to DVDs and even now HiDef discs? Yeah please please please, copy the crap out of each other, because all you are doing is creating new innovative ways to deliver us entertainment we want.

» CD DVD HD EH what ? this is about Rumble
Ludikhris instead of trying to hype up Sony why dont you stick to the topic ?..
Despite what the fanboys said we all knew you cant play a driving game(Especially a sim) without rumble its impossible to get the feedback from corners wheelspin etc, same with fighting games.
Looks like 360 is proberly going to be getting tilt like functions added to their rumble pad looking at recent news.. So all in all its all going to be back to having the same sort of funtions on both pads.

He meant to say they used the DVD format first (which they did, and M$ and Nintendo copied). And the 360 controller sucks as it is, it's very twitchy (and the rumble will make the tilt sensing worse) and hard to control, plus the battery sucks. And when has M$ ever made a product that doesn't suck (except if they made a vacuum cleaner; that might not suck :P)?

» good old sony
this is absolutely classic sony, 'we don't need rumble'
'good news, we now have rumble!'
hehehehe
but that's not a bad thing, M$ are still making the same old mistakes while sony are willing to take it on the chin and take some criticism... if only all game companies actually took heed of what their gamers wanted!
so... does this mean patches over psn for existing games might become available? or just newer games will have rumble in, and will there be a SIXAXIS 2? like, SIXAXIS-R (for rumble)?
i understand ludikhris's sentiments, it's like he's trying to stem the flaming as soon as he can. the thing is, i see ps3 (and x360 actually) as being much more capable of change and future innovation than the wii... i mean if wii had to do some sort of clever switch up then it coudln't run any games (due it's puny powers). but ps3 and x360 could do what wii does in a heart beat. of course they cost a lot more, and aren't nintendo, but it's all a big seesaw anyway.
this is good news for gaming though, although i play games with the rumble switched off i can see it as a much valued element of games, and if sony work against it then there's a chance it would fall out of favour... not anymore! hooray!!

The cell processor is not poorly designed what so ever. It can be better than the 3 cores in some respects that microsoft has for the 360 if programmed for properly. Come on, after all some of the best chip designing companies in the world worked on it. Some of the first gen games proves testament to it like Lair, Motorstorm, and Resistance just to name a few.

» I dont care a bit
about Rumble, I always put it off specially in wireless controls for battery saving.
If there is a settlement is in SONY terms, they showed to Inmersion that they are fully capable to push the PS3 without rumble, being Inmersion the only big money loser in a rumble-less PS3.
Now if DualShock3 is coming I hope SONY dont let down first adopters (big fans) and make the necessary replacement, I'm sure they already have the new control ready only waiting to be mass produced and probably DS3 is only the SIXAXIS plus a rumble enabler piece.

» erm...
i reckon the way they measure acceleration for sixaxis is through piezo-electrics... this is a good way, and with proper thinking and precautions any effect rumble has on the motion sensing would be easily taken care of. for a start the amplitude of rumble oscillations is tiny compared to when a player swings the sixaxis around.
the wii accelerometers don't use the power strip, that is used to detect position. what does this mean? erm... basically if wiimote works with rumble and motion sensing then there's no reason sixaxis can't.
and bluetooth cannot detect position with only one sensor... it's just not doable.

I still don't care for rumble, I like the lightness of the SixAxiS. What I think is more important and have been saying it since I got my PS3 is the fact that
ANALOG IS NOT ON EVERY BUTTON LIKE THE OLD DUAL SHOCK
This is a VERY important feature that has been omitted/forgotten/removed from all the face buttons and L1/R1. I can tell you this, I won't be buying "just" a rumble controller only to have Sony release a SixAxiS with Rumble AND all analog buttons.
I will chance it and wait or just buy a standard SixAxiS when the price drops on them because people want the NEW rumble one.

When Sony truly gets on it's feet in the near future with amazing titles like MGS, GT, etc. a lot of people will be shown as the hypocrites they really are.

a little off topic, but GDC is suppose to focus on European Development.......hint hint ........Killzone 2.Hells yeah not only is it the most expensive game in developement, it one on sony's own branches just like resistance.So you know there is going to be the sharing of information between the two studios..............
Now on topic.... yeah i do remember sony saying that the rumble would affect the sixasis,but honestly i don't care sh*t so we're gonna have it now......and to be honest didn't really notice it missing when i was playing fight night on ps3 and to when i played on 360
Off topic......uhh.......again.
Linux users, is it possible to run beryl not accessing the rsx but use the emotion engine instead.I know Beryl on the ps3 would be so f*cking awesome.

» It's never too late to change your mind
Yeah they definitely said that, guess they realised they were wrong.
But in fact i think it mught be more on the point that they did not know if they could get rumble somewhere, so they did not want to sell it before confirmation.
I won't be suprise that customer will have to put extra $$$ on new remote, letting their old ones obsolete (or for friends when they come over)
Let's hope it wont boost it's price an extra 15-20$, they are quite expensive.

» Sony is finally listening to its fans?!
I admit I'm one of the many who turned on Sony. It was Sony's arrogance that pissed me off...too many choices that benefited Sony while saying FU to the customer.
But I am happy to hear they are finally listening to their Playstation fans. We wanted rumble, and Sony is finally on their way to delivering.
Now if they just whip the PSP into shape...

I've never really understood the big deal about rumble. It just never "Blew me away" as I guess it has for the rest of you. Personally, I've always found it more of an annoyance. But I am glad that Sony did something to please their customers for once. (even if it means nothing to me). It's a nice change from everything else Sony has been doing recently.

Well. In regards to older games not being able to support rumble, the game designers can easily just release an update via download that will enable force feedback support. And maybe... just maybe... instead of it being internally built to the controllers it will be a small extra that connects on top of the controller via usb. This would make the best sense since so many people have the sixaxis already and so many have been produced it would kill sony finanacially to do a recall of all the controllers. just my opinion.

» sony, the peoples company
they listene to the fans and are now bringing out rumble.
I think sony could do a callback and install the sixaxis controllers with rumble chips. a little chip that goes in the USB means you cant charge the battery and play at the same time....

The motors which are what make rumble possible. They could even do away with circular motors all together in favor of a linear one instead. I wonder what they will cook up next. Maybe a more detailed rumble with just a tad less vibration and a lot more when needed.

"Our new business agreement with Sony is specifically intended to enable advanced vibration capability for the benefit of the PlayStation community,"
Yea right. They know without the PS3 they wouldn't make much money.

» Now redesign the controller
Good to hear that sony will be bringing out sixaxis and rumble controllers(SXR) but they should also be redesigning them as well - espicially when they bring out a slimline version of the console. I'm a linux fan(avid Micro$oft hater) however xbox has got most things right with its controller.
aside: CORE BLUNDERS MADE BY SONY FOR PS3
(1) late release date
(2) lack of realease titles
(3) Pricing. Should have had a basic unit 20G, 512M Ram with DVD RW at same price as xbox 360. Higher priced units would have BD, more ram & HDD and/or Linux and FOSS preinstalled.
(3) lack of rumble controller
(4) designed a chip that isn't developer friendly. Needed for rapid development or porting.
PREDICTION:
PS3, PS4 even more so, will be a true PC alternative - net, games, media, office, productivity. Unfortunately Micro$oft will copy Sony and will bring a lot of applications if its xbox OS is based on Vista. With rumours Apple will develop their own console based on OSX resulting in an serious ass whipping(eg the coming iPhone), the future Playstation's OS will have to be optimized with either Linux or OSX. If it doesn't do this then Sony will just become a games developer to the eventual winner of the console wars.

» RUMBLE
This crap that the PS3 doesn't support rumble are you kidding me? The original playstation didn't have rumble when it came out... and later it added rumble. the affect of rumble is all about programmers and the code to enable force feed back... the console has nothing to do with it.
