PS3 and lack of rumble

Does anyone here think that enough game developers and magazine journalist will piss and moan about the lack of rumble, especially in racing games. That Sony might not have a choice but to put it back in there controller at some point.  I can already see a game like Motorstorm getting points taken off in certain game magazines and on certain game websites because of the lack of rumble. I personally don't think that it's that big of a deal, but there are enough people that think that Sony took a step back by not including it. I'm worried that we might see a bit of a PSP syndrome here. What I mean is I'm constantly hearing about how alot of the PSP games could have been better had there been a second analog nub, and because of that I think some of the PSP games, even some of the really good ones. Got scores that could of been higher had it had that second analog nub. Check out the video review of the new Ratchet and Clank game for the PSP on Gametrailers.com and you'll see what I mean.

Why the **** should he shut up???? alot of people think that rumble is better than motion senceing, the motion sencing is fun for like 10 mins and then u wish you had rumble, just wait till you get a racing game like motorstorm and then you'll wish the controller had rumble, and sixaxis can work with rumble, its been done before. michael098

the sixaxis lack of rumble is not the same as the psp lack of analog. rumble is feedback and it should have nothing to do with how a reviewer rate the game. the psp analog does have an effect on the controls and gameplay. rued2k6

Oh gosh ......the fact that the rumble problem has been partly solved by a company called Splitfish........ * should be STICKED:?*.....with a product called SensorFX. The most notable thing about it is that is uses NO MOVING parts so Immersion is not even a factor anymore...Article... nexusprime

No, I don't expect Sony to put rumble into the conroller anytime soon.

That would be a slap in the face to all the current PS3 owners that spent $50 on an extra SixAxis, unlike was the case when they introduced the analog sticks to the original Playstation controller, the rumble doesn't make a large enough difference to warrant spending the extra money on R&D time, and liscensing.

If tilting a control that in no way resembles a steering wheel immerses you in a game... you have problems we cannot help you with. Try unlocking a door in Splinter Cell without rumble feedback to tell you you're getting it right, when your characters getting shot up the simulated heartbeat can add a lot to the moment. To say rumble is pointless is just plain dumb when thats what made the dual shock everyones favorite controller in the first place. Compared to the dual shock the six axis is coming across as rubbish. Tilt works for the Wii, because thats the primary control scheme, at all times. With the Ps3 tilt is just a perk, that in most cases just isn't fun at all.GameArtGuy

Why do you think people purchase third-party steering wheels for some racing games?

Because it offers a much more immersive feel to the game than a standard controller. Same applies here.

It is quite funny how you all seem to ignore the fact that visual ques have existed since before rumble, and that ALL PC games use visual ques to a great degree.

I believe that the Dualshock was everyone's favorite controller due to its design, and how well it fits into the hand, not because of the rumble, otherwise the original Xbox controller would also be everyone's favorite.

I love how rumble is suddenly a heated debate because it isn't in the SixAxis, whereas, if it were, you guys would never mention it, just like you never mentioned it last-gen.

But, then again, for a fanbase that spends its time arguing about potential flaws of another system more than the postitive aspects of their own, I'm not really surprised.

my god, shut up about rumble, they took it out because it was a copywrite infringement with another company, and they didnt want to buy it for this one, sixaxis took over, and it wont work with rumble correctly. a company is adding it in, if you want it, buy their controller and move onGzus666

Untrue, the wii conroller's motion sensor works fine with rumble and that's more complex. I think sony should bring back the rumble. Cod3 on ps3 seems empty without the rumble. So i got it 4 the 360. I think sony is going to have to bring rumle back

I agree with you that the lack of rumble shouldn't effect PS3 game review scores, but some of these reviewers are so used to playing games with rumble in it. Especially when there playing Wii, and 360 games that clearly have rumble in there controllers. That when playing certain PS3 games they might having that why does there feel like somethings missing in this game feeling. Of course that missing feeling being the lack of rumble in the controller. Which in turn can possibly effect review scores for certain PS3 games. The bottom line is that some people are just so used to playing games that support rumble, that games without it might in those peoples eyes be a negative thing. I'm hoping that good, fun, and unique sixaxis controller implementation in future PS3 titles will help balance the lack of rumble out, but only time will tell.Shadowhawk2606

Don't care about rumble or whatever. If i had a problem with the game the LAST thing i would complain about is the rumble feature or motion. meaning if the game sucked thats the game's fault not the controller's. But yea it sucks because reviewers do overrate the rumble feature and mark down some great games just for that. It's sad simply because, for example, a casual gamer decides to just check the score of a game and if the score isn't high enough to his/her liking he/she will not purchase the game. After all that's the point of sites like this one to give a breakdown of games for those who want info on games they desire or saw for the first time. True that many are not that ignorant as to refuse to buy a game simply of a score of another person/site/etc. but the scores do matter and having them downgrade because of some, and in this case silly, bias is a truly unfortunate thing. But personally i won't loose any sleep over this, to some it matters more than others...

Rumble sucked, it's like smellavision who cares. Although I can see some female players being a little dissapointed. Just aI little rumble humour. A oh I feel that wrath of the SS coming for that one. pimperjones

Very sexist comment, but F***ing hilarious. I won't add any more opinions. For your sake man i hope there aren't any chicks here taking offense in that...
