Well Sony and Immersion are now friends and the rumble is all good, but sony already said that the rumble is "last gen" but what about this......
"Sony could greatly turn their whole “rumble” ordeal around in the eyes of the gamer if they incorporate Immersion’s latest ‘Touch. We gotSense’ technology over what was used in the PS2 controller to try their new rumble technology first hand and we must say it’s a better experience than what you’re feeling today by leaps and bounds. The controller just doesn’t rumble, in rumbles in a way that matches your on-screen experience. Shotguns feel like bursts, machine guns have rapid but distinct sensations, and the all powerful light saber hums in the palms of your hand. ‘TouchSense’ is rumble for the next-generation. Time will only tell if Sony intends to include their Immersion’s latest technology."
If Sony said yeah rumble is "last gen" but Touchsense rumble is this gen! that be wicked, thoughts?
yeah i thinking about it today and that would make the gmae play soo much better, hopefully if they plan to do this that you can trade in your sixaxis controllers and what not so your not forking out bare cash for new ones...
as cool as that sounds, they would basically have to encorporate it with another technology for it to work. with the sixaxis, there can be no moving parts involved in the rumble, which it sounds like this technology will have (meaning you could either have rumble or motion sensing)...however, a few months ago another company developed a way to create the rumble effect with zero moving parts....if both these technologies were mixed (the nonmoving parts rumble and this alternating feel rumble), it would work perfectly on the sixaxis and be awesome
Why can't sony add rumble if they believe it is last gen? If some last gen tech can sell some consoles, then why not add it? Obviously, fanboys could not imagine that Sony would listen to its customers, but they already added HDMI in the 20gig and returned the original controller, both at the request of customers.
Touch sense technology seems like a good way for Sony to bring rumble back and not look bad doing it.
They can simply say that they where waiting on a deal with Immersion to bring next generation Rumble to the PS3 and gamers will love them for it.
I personally believe some games are better with rumble but the majority of them did not use the function well. Won't go into any details on this, but the TouchSense technology seems like the way for Sony to go.
