I wonder how long it will take Andrew Yoon to delete all the comments in this thread...

I'm surprised "waggle" and "gimmick" didn't make it into the post.

Well, here's to Sony's getting its head out of its ass on this one.

A controller that can rumble AND have motion controls? Sony is SO innovative. All the other companies really should start taking notice on what they're doing.

OH OH! I know the other big announcement. They're going to put a speaker into the controller too, so you can hear sounds from your hands. So innovative. WOW.

God, what an unpleasant trolling child you are. Every thread? Go take a nap!

Come up with something new. Thanks.

" SONY, come up with something new. thanks "

**fixed**

Calviin, welcome to the NDF!

And thus one fanboy accuses another fanboy.

Well thanks for the welcome, but what is an NDF - Earth Ring?

So what if sony is being hypocritical about rumble. You guys bitch about everything. What about M$ downplaying HDMI and bigger hard drives. Ya'll need to grow up, get laid or just shut up and play some games. Sony and M$ are both heading up shits creek. Let It Go!

I'll be right behind you

I'll third that.

Well, providing Ratchet and Clank is any good.

I'm set to buy either a 360 or PS3 this Christmas. If the PS3 is $400 I might lean twords buying it over the 360 because the hardware is reliable. Rumble has to be included too :)

@karen,

I don't see how you can be having a dilemma, and i don't see how a rumble controller would help push you one way or another. Either you like the games 360 has or you like the games ps3 has, it shouldn't be based on reliability.

A Shake and Shock?

Shake (motion controlls)
Rattle (rumble)
and Roll (I have no idea)

Think of something more creative please. I've had to read that same line every day for the past year.

Well, Jinn, you're wrong.

"I thought rumble was next gen two generations ago?"

It was. And lame at that.

It seems Sony has caved into the online fanbois.

What is next-gen rumble? Does it come with a virbrating dick-sleeve attachment that I can use to get myself off? god I hope so..

Rumble overrated? Are you freakin nuts?! Well incorporated rumble is ESSENTIAL in modern gaming. Relying solely on visual and audio can only get you so far.


- Walking alone in a dark corridor... and all of a sudden, your controller rumbles for seemingly no reason at all, yet triggering your pavlovian reflex of fear because throughout the whole first part of the game, rumble was associated to enemies in the vicinity.

- Car racing, rumble slowly intensifying as you gain speed until WHAM, some other NPC car from the opposite direction smacks you with full force, making you feel the rumble as your car shreds into pieces.

- What about the deaf gamers?

Actually, having my controller rumble with the speed of my car in a racing game is my #1 argument against rumble.

I don't need my controller to vibrate to tell me I'm moving, that's what the graphics are for. Game designers are idiots.

Yeah, blame the people who had their IP infringed upon by the mega-corporation. It was Sony's fault for not just paying up in the first place like everyone else. The fault is squarely on Sony's shoulders. They just have an inability to ever admit that they're wrong -- it's always someone else's fault, blah, blah, blah. And, that is why they lost this round in the hardware wars.

I forgot it is national 'Talk like a Pirate' day.

They've given us no reason over the last 10 months to think that they've learned anything, I seriously doubt they can do anything at this point to change that perception.

I disagree partly, I think the redesigned PSP is a step in the right direction. Admitting the flaws of the PSP and addressing them was a smart move. It might be too late of a save for the PSP though.

In fact I joked with my friends that the redesigned PSP was the one reason they let go Ken Kutaragi. I bet someone told him about the redesign and he went off and said "NO It'S PeRfEcT! YOU CANNOT ChaAnG3 mY PSP!!!1"

All I'm saying is, the way they announce the Rumble to me will give me a clear sign if they learned anything or not.

Sure...similar to them taking it away when no one asked them to....

To admit flaws in the design of the PSP would take only one step. Replace the UMD drive with a flash-based hard drive. Games/movies on their media sticks and downloaded off the PS3 would be a step in the right direction, away from UMD.

Simply put, no.

Just like how everyone keeps bringing up the RRoD...
And how the Wii is only for mini games...

People just can't let go of their hate for a system they don't own.

WAIT A MIN...

I thought rumble was last gen?

kinda like the sony boys with their RRoD shit?

Why, it's still funny...

RRoD is in fact truth thats even being said by xbox fanatics themselves, the "last gen" quote was from a sony head trying to not piss off stockholders and staying away from promising anything, but of course im dealing with kids who have no idea how business legalities work. yay me.

Sony fanboys really only have themselves to blame. When you drone on and on for the entire year while 360 was out and PS3 wasn't about how much better the graphics will be, the games, the bluray, the rumble, killzone gfx, Lair, etc. it is only natural that everyone rubs it in when the cookie crumbles.

I mean Sony literally said rumble was last gen, PS fanboys agreed and argued for it, then they added it later ala two gens ago. How the hell are fanboys supposed to not get a big ol' boner over that. It is perfect fanboy fodder.

This is just one of those threads that if you can't stand "I thought rumble was last gen" comments, then you just need to go to PS3fanboy and discuss what it actually means for games there.

Sorry, but this is Joystiq. Asking people to pass on this excellent fanboy trolling opportunity is like asking Brittney Spears to wear underwear when she goes out. It ain't happenin'.

Um, I bring up the RRoD, and it's not hating on systems I don't own, since I own a 360 (and a PS3 and a Wii).

My 360 RRoD'd for the 2nd time early this month. This ensures I'll miss the launch day for Halo 3 just like I missed the launch day for Gears of War when my 360 RRoD'd last time.

Good thing it happened almost to the day at the same time that the Wii FINALLY got another game worth having (Metroid Prime 3).
