In before "G4 :lol: "

But hey, we can only hope that Sony exec was misinformed... Very doubtful though. Maybe MGS4 comes boxed with a special controller. :o

It says Touchsense allows you to use touchscreens and actually feel like you're pressing a button. Pretty cool.

But how the hell does that relate to an actual button on a controller?

They were playing MGS4 with it, for example, and when getting shot at from a certain direction, the controller would...well, rumble in that general direction. That'd be like our own little personal radar!

Instead of the controller just shaking, Different parts of the control shake indicating direction I think.

I remember hearing on one podcast a reporter playing MGS4 could tell the location of explosions around him just from the rumble.

Or you could get some nice 5.1 or 7.1 speakers and that can be your personal radar. :P

then they better have a "right way" to hold the controller becuase i dont want to be holding it down and then get it vibrates on the back making me think im getting shot at from below rather than in frfont.

sorry i dont know how to explain too well what im trying to get at.

I thought Sony said the rumble technology was the same as the PS2?

They dont want 360 or wii to have it? Cause i'm hearing good reviews about this touch sense.

yeah they talked about this in the 1up show coupel days ago.. He talked about the explosion thing and he said the rumble is better then the Wii and slightly better then xbox rumbleArsenal325

Obviously you have never touched a ps3 in your life, because Lair's and Warhawk's motion sensing kick a$$

PS. He didnt say the rumble was "stronger", he said it was "BETTER". To different things.

Ummmm WTF? You DO know this isnt about motion sensing? Learn to read Thread topics.. Its about the new Rumble in PS3 Controllers...

i feel sad for the rumbleless early adopters, there stuck with the six-axismlbslugger86

No where not. All we have to do is go out and buy the Dual Shock 3 controller and we'll have rumble.

i feel sad for the rumbleless early adopters, there stuck with the six-axismlbslugger86

Why should u feel sad for them as they knew the consequences of buying stuff early

Are you talking about pressure sensitive buttons? They had that in MGS3.Star67

ha I think that's all it is

nothing to get excited about :P

Thats why they should drop the motion for DS3.

THe 1up guys described it like Rumble in Stereo, more focused and directional.

Hope it feels nice.

IF this is even mildly true, then sony is stupider than ever cuz the entire ps3 gaming public will be divided, if a game uses such controller scheme, you cows are also blind for hyping such garbage,.amorbis1001
