Am I the only one amongst many that doesn't think we need rumble back? I mean I coule honestly care less about rumble being in the controllers....in fact I forgot about it in whole since 11/17/06.
Well I don't really miss it. It's one of those things that's nice to have, that adds to the creation of immersive gameplay, but when it's gone you don't really feel like an integral part is missing. They bring it back: fine, they don't bring it back: fine.
[QUOTE="munsoned"]i miss it, when the new dual shock 3 coming out?SolidSnake2020
For Japan this year, US and EU spring 2008, I know what are they thinking?????????????
well dam, next year???? i was up walmart last nite looking for one. because the game i rented off of gamefly**stuntman* has a option for force feedback:?
I don't miss it all the time, like when I play R:FoM, I'm to focused to care, but when I play something like Shadow of The Colossus, it just doesn't feel right, it's still fun, but rumble was used beautifully in that game IMO :(
Some games, where you need still hands or if it's tense, I don't like rumble. Aiming, aiming, aiming, gotcha.... BOOM *rumble* Damn it! But other games it's nice. Laid back games.
Heck yea glad their bringing rumble back. And this is kind of a crazy thread lol. I mean its an option that is nice if you don't like just turn it off end of story but to complain about an option is just non sense. Nothing earks more is to serve me non sweet tea at a restuarant with out atleast some packs of sugar on the table. You people that don't like sugar in tea discuss me lol.
I didn't miss it until I went back to play shadow of the colossus. It rumbles when your strength is full and signals you to stab the colossi. I was so used to this that I actually sat there for like 10 seconds waiting until finally realizing that I had a sixaxis and had no rumble.
i really think it is better without rumble. shooters are just stupid with rumble. the only games that would be ok with rumble are car racing games. everything else just suffers from it.

MGS2 the motion detector? That rumbled when enemies where near by and worked perfectly. Err.... last time I checked MGS wasn't a car racing game.

Yep you must be in minority.Rumble gives you more of a feel of being in the game your playing,especially shooters+driving.
To be honest im not too fussed either way with rumble, but it does has its uses in certain games. If i had a choice between rumble and motion......i'd choose rumble every time. Motion is just a complete gimmick and belongs on a gimmick console like wii.
it depends on what game i am playing. for action, racing, FPS, and TPS... i do wish that i had rumble.
i feel that rumble actually does do something to enhance gameplay. for action, FPS, and TPS... it gives you another signal (along with a visual and audio signal) of when you get hit, and to what extent the damage was.
as for racers... it helps to give you a sense of the friction your tires have on the road.
Rumble and what they're rumored to be implementing are 2 different things. I couldn't care less for rumble coming back, but what they're talking about would be phenomenal!
I miss it terribly. It adds a lot to some games... games like MGS1, Bioshock (Big Daddies rumble when they walk,) and many others use it in creative ways that draw me in. When games use it for nonconventional reasons, like your heartbeat when you're scared or dying, for example, it goes a long way to immerse me into the gameworld. I don't see why you'd be against rumble, given that you don't have to use it. But arguing that nobody should use it because it adds nothing is just ridiculous. Speak for yourself... telling Sony we're OK with themgiving us fewer features is bad for everyone. Just vote with your dollars and don't buy the new Dual Shock.

Yeah kojima's "rumble guy" always did amazing things...I don't think mgs4 will be the same for me without rumble.
The fact that Sony would make a public statement saying that rumble is "last gen" and then releasing it is pretty ludacris.
I honestly don't miss it,
I honestly can't understand how having a vibrating controller in your hand is some how "immersive" in my opinion it's a distraction. A game should be good enough to immerse you into its world,that a vibrating controller really shouldn't need to come into "play" (haha no pun intended)
Someone said why discuss this because you can just turn this function off.
I say that it is unnecessary and is a gimmick. But at the same time alot of people like it so meh.
i personally like the light weight contols better, i didn't even notice that the rumble was gone, could care less that it's coming back. My 2cents..anywayz!!
I don't miss it, when I'm focused on the game I really don't pay attention to anything else. Its kind of like how people complain about the noise of a console, I'm not paying attention to the fan sound, nor am I sitting playing a game thinking about rumble in my controller.
People are stupid if they want rumble. But ofcourse, it is understandable that they may need it to "enhance" their gaming experience. Like, why buy a dyldo when you could get one with a vibrator?
So yeah, only TRUE gamers need vibration. So they can really enjoy their games.
I miss rumble in games like Virtua Tennis, when you are aiming your serve it would be good to have the feed back as you get closer to the line and then out altogether.
Other than in rare occasions like mentioned above I don't really miss it at all _BUT_ the idea of a new controller where the rumble is surround like sounds great to me, I'll be replacing my Six Axis controllers with the Dual Shock 3 as soon as I can.
I don't miss rumble. It's nice for what it is, but I never really considered it to be an integral part of my gaming experience. Plus, I would think it'd make the controllers heavier, and I like the lightness of the PS3 controllers :)
i need and want rumble...NOW....how can some of you people not miss it....when you play a racing game like dirt, motorstorm or GT...you cant feel any traction....it feels like you are on ice and everything feels smooth....you need rumble....i would trade sixaxis for rumble any day....
Given the choice I would chose rumble over the PS3 motion control 99% of the time. If I want to use motion control I'll play the Wii a far superior and more enjoyable motion sensing system, IMO.

Fortunately, we don't have to choose though.
It's a blend of rumble and motion control (albeit...motion control that hasn't been completely refined yet)
While it would be nice, I'm not going to run out and buy a new controller just for rumble. Very few games actually have anything added by rumble- most of the time I don't even notice it.
I hardly notice rumble anymore. When I'M playing between the Ps2 in my bedroom and the Ps3 in my living room, I hardly notice the difference. I will be a sucker and buy a DS3.
