Immersion Next-generation Vibration Technology for new PS3 rumble controllers??

http://www.immersion.com/gaming/video_pc/next-gen/

I was browsing Immersion's website after hearing the news of the settlement with Sony where I dug up some old information which may be relevent to the new ways in which rumble will be incorporated into PlayStation devices (Controllers, Steering Wheels, "SIXAXIS Lightsaber", etc.). The link is above and here's one review on the technology:

“I personally experienced Immersion's new rumbling technology yesterday, and I have to say that it's a major, major step in the right direction. Not only are the rumbles stronger, they feel more detailed and crisp. A nearby explosion sends powerful shockwaves rippling through your hands; wielding a lightsaber produces a pleasant "humming" sensation; and machinegun fire feels downright violent. It's ten times better than the rumbling on the PS2 or Xbox 360.”

What you guys think? Seems logical to me. :)

Rumble...but not force feed back ;)Charlie2688

I'm just glad its back in time for MGS4. Rumble is always incorporated correctly in an MGS game. If anyone should use this technology, it should be Kojima. Come to think of it, I think Kojima is behind this settlement...hmm... Guess he's happy though right?chrisius007

i've never liked rumble, i've always turned it off.

but if it it was more precise and actually added depth to the game i might buy into it.

Wow they published something on their website that says "10x better than the rumble on the Xbox 360" Doesnt the 360 use Immersions old Rumble Tech? I said WOWWOW! massAttack2k

Really and what could be 10x better? Is the controller going to act like a Force feedback steering wheel? It's rumble and frankly how much better can it get. Sony is just trying to justify putting rumble back in after paying off Immersion. They were talking about how rumble was "last-gen" since they announced the sixaxis. They said a lot of crap about how rumble would mess up the motion control. Now all of a sudden it's the "Next-gen" rumble and it's 10x better. Please they're so full of crap like they usually are.

Personally, I'm wondering how multi-plat baseball games are going to work because the rumble is used to show when you are pitching out of the strike zone...That-B-Guy

in all seriousness, lot of the game that on the PS3 that also on the X360, i would just get the X360 just because of the rumble, COD3, NFS, ect... EvilSpeaker

Well, my PC isn't high end and i think i rather play with the controller than mouse and keyboard.  Plus they don't even have tilt for NFS, it's basically the same except the Xbox360 version have more feel to the game with rumble feature.

wow, I never thought of that... it's true- in mvp baseball 06 I play with the white ball cusor off (for a more realistic game) and I use the rumble to paint the corners. Rumble is more useful than I thought. I haven't played ne of the next gen games either so I wonder how they would do that. Man, please I hope it comes back...

Sixaxis + Rumble = complete domination
