Sony's controllers will shake again.
by Anoop Gantayat

September 19, 2007
- Big shocker at today's Electronic Arts pre Tokyo Game Show press event. While playing a demo of Burnout Paradise, we felt something that we never thought we'd feel from a PS3 controller -- shake!

That's right, Burnout Paradise is the first rumble-equipped PS3 game we've ever played. Which made us think at the time, if the game is making the controller shake, the controller must be a new version of the Sixaxis!

In fact, the controller we were using to play the demo looked exactly like a standard Sixaxis, except that it had a sticker on the bottom that said "RUMBLE." It also felt notably heavier than the standard Sixaxis.

We presume this is a prototype of the PlayStation 3's new rumble controller, whatever it's going to be called.

The rumble itself felt around the level of PlayStation 2 rumble. We're not sure just yet if Sony is using any of that next generation technology Immersion has been talking about for the past few months.

A formal announcement is expected tomorrow at Kaz Hirai's keynote address.

As for the rest of the EA event, as well as details from today's Sony and Konami events, check back at IGNPS3 through the night.

I heard some older titles will be compatible with the rumble support, including: Resistance and Motorstorm. WOOHOO!!!
 
So... Sony admits to another miserable mistake on the PS3... Soon they will anounce the inclusion of headsets as part of their system?... Or maybe... a good game?

 
This wasn't really a mistake, just a feature they couldn't include because they were being sued over it (and i think they lost?).

Like Blu-Ray, 'one day' the PS3 will be a complete offering.
 
Won't release in the US until 2008.

Good news, but...

Wish this new controller was going to hit the US at the same time as Japan (Nov 07)...I was hoping we'd get this announcement from Sony but was counting on it being the standard/included controller in PS3s for the holidays.

It's not a deal-killer to keep me from getting a PS3 this Christmas--but it does make me ponder. Perhaps I should go iPhone instead and get the PS3 later into '08...by then there will be more solid software titles, more Bluray, 'Home' and rumble controllers.

I will have Halo and Mass Effect to keep me busy on my 360 through the end of the year, anyways.

Sigh...

I already have 4 six axis controllers, but i'll just buy one of these and let my friends use the six axis ones , and il just put one away i suppose in case i have a controller break. It'll be nice having rumble, but it's nothing that i cant live without and definitely in my mind is not necessary, but any addition is a welcome addition.
