PS3 Rumble pad?

Mr_T · 12 Jul 2007 at 14:11

Has this feature gone for good now? I can't help thinking it would be so much better playing Fight Night 3 with a rumble when you get hit with a haymaker! :rolleyes:

id totally forgotten about this, was nothing said yesterday about it then? seems a little odd

I'm sure Sony had announced they were working with Immersion on a controller with Sixaxis and rumble.

Sony settled out of court so I guess its only a matter of time.

I personally think MGS4 will be the first 'Rumble' PS3 game.

Rumble + Sixaxis would annoy me, a motion sensitive controller bouncing about in your hands doesn't seem like the best idea.

Sixaxis is crap and was only put in because they was having a rough time with Immersion.

I've never played Fight Night on the PS3 but have on the 360, great game and feels easy enough to manuever on the 360. Even though I've always liked the PS pad. The 360 pad is great for this game.

Whats that got to do with Rumble on the ps3 pad?...

Surely Rumble will be along soon.. and with the option to download to a HDD then older games could get an update

yeah presumably it'll be simple enough to patch the existing games, assuming most developers want to.

This is on the list of things that needs to happen before i get a PS3.

Works fine with the Wii.

Don't know about you, but my arms are not exactly flailing around when a bit of rumble goes off.

Don't forget guys E3 isn't over yet, wouldn't be surprised if it comes out a bit later

The sixaxis motion feature is a stillborn idea anyway. The only half-decent implemention seen so far is in Motorstorm and Warhawk. I heavily doubt it will become a regular feature in today's PS3 games.

Kotaku said it was confirmed to him at E3

The sixaxis is fine - it works with me just great and I'm a PC gamer mainly. If rumble comes then thats a bonus.

pinkacidbootson · 12 Jul 2007 at 21:28

Using Sixaxis in Motorstorm is pointless, the analogue sticks are much more acurrate and easier to use. I can only imagine it being useful in games that involve flying, such as Warhawk. Hopefully game developers can come up with more creative uses of the tiliting function, as my imagination is failing me today.

Doesnt MS own Immersion or own a part of it?

How's he lying? It's his opinion.

There was some work over at Kotaku that a Sony rep has said it's defo happening so looks good for you PLAYSTATION 3 owners. Well... if you want to buy new controllers.
