Rumbling SixAxis controller in Developer's Hands

Innerbits.com report that there are Several fresh items of news today, regarding the PS3 controller:

"We can confirm that prototypes of the new rumble-enabled controllers have made their way to various Sony developers. Information on these controllers is still closely held by Sony and their partners, but an official announcement and unveiling is expected in the next two to three months. Leipzig is the most obvious guess for this unveiling, but we believe Sony is going to withhold the controllers until they can launch them to coincide with support from enough developers.

We can also confirm that new versions of the Sixaxis controller are quietly replacing the original controllers launched with the console. Hardware updates occur regularly throughout the lifespan of controllers; in this case, Sony has improved the fidelity of motion sensing in the controller. The original controllers apparently suffered of too much of a dead zone."

Rumble is finally next-gen now that Sony had admitted it. Too bad no one will care.Michael85

No one should applaude them for doing the obvious.

BUT fixing a mistake is better then not fixing it at all. And lack of rumble was a big fat stupid mistake.

i thought rumble was last gen ....

So now I'd have to rebuy all my controllers for something so standerd, that it should have been at launch?

(P/S/ I don't have a ps3 in the first place, but I'm planning on buying one)

one has to wonder if it's in time to make it into GT5...

a driving game w/o rumble is silliness...:(

from what i understand, the developer has to take this feature into account very early in the dev cycle. Given GT5 is ALREADY under development and has been for some time, there is a chance it make not make it in time...

i can't even imagine how boring FPS would be w/o feeling the firing of your weapon *cough*Killzone 2 *cough*

I hope it's in time for LBP.l I would love a rumble effect when a tower of heavy blocks comes tumbling down.

Sony is calling this "next-gen rumble"? I thought they already fired Ken for saying things like 4D graphics?

Yes but adding rumble fixes that right away. No one can tell if the new chips will stop the RRoD. Poor MS

Thats why they are probably gonna try to fix both, while Ms while got the cheap way and only try to fix the hardware, if they fix it at all, but will still probably have the lousy, loud dvd drive.
