PS3 Sixaxis-Rumble Update.

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

In a “He said, She said,” moment, Engadget is reporting that PSM France is reporting some updates on the PlayStation 3′s upcoming Sixaxis Rumble. Rumaxis? Six-mumble-jumbo? Anyway, the new Sixaxis controller may implement a new technology called “TouchSense” that allows vibrations to be more place specific on the controller, causing a “more powerful and more intense” rumble than the previous PS2 version. I, for one, am very excited about the rumble being back in the Playstation jungle. Rumble is one of those features that you tend to forget or take for granted until it isn’t there. I rely on it more than I should in gaming, to confirm a short or to “feel” my way through an multiplayer battle. Do other gamers feel the same way? Or are you guys happy with the Playstation 3 rumbleless? Unrumble-licious?

Sony Continues Its Streak of Making Up, This Time With Immersion

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Immersion is the company that sued Sony for basically stealing their patented rumble technology. However, after announcing the end of the litigation they have also decided to enter into a new business agreement. This new business agreement is set up so that Immersion can work to put their technology into Sony Computer Entertainment products.

So what does this mean for those PS3 owners who have been lucky enough to find one of these rare systems in stock? Hopefully it means that Sony will move towards putting in “last-gen” features into their controllers. I hope that rumble becomes a feature that you can turn on and off. With the feature of an on/off switch being useful for games where the rumble feature would otherwise screw up the six-axis controls. [eds. note: maybe they'll fix that pesky little bluetooth syncing issue as well, you know, the one that causes the controller to "lose" the console every 45 minutes or so.]
