New Rumble SIXAXIS bundled with 80GB PS3's?

Look closely at the 80GB model image and you notice that the "PS Button" is glowing red. Could this be the new rumble SIXAXIS?

crunkthug6129d ago

well i have a ps3
but ithink it would be so damn good for the people that dont have it
i mean ps3 + rumble sixaxis + motorstorm + 20 GB
man that what i call a deal

Wotbot6129d ago

I feel gutted. I wasted my £425 on the PS3 with and then they release a version with 20 gig more and rumble controllers.

I want some compensation Sony.

NoUseMerc6129d ago

I think the 80GB is barely worth if they include the SIXAXIS rumble. 20GB worth of storage doesnt really cost that much and Motorstorm tops is only worth $60.

If they include the new rumble controllers and perhaps announce at E3 the PS Eye would come bundled too, then I would definitely buy it.

Or they should look at adding a headset to the deal. Not everyone will buy Warhawk (eventhough they should).

No that's not a rumble six axis controller. It's an added effect, i believe.

Rumble announced on Wednesday

marionz6129d ago

i dont know what the red light is but on the news here in New Zealand it showed one of our kiwi rugby players playing his new game on the ps3 and i noticed his controller had the red light on the home button....
will be interesting to see what it is but its definatly real because ive seen it!

Why o why6129d ago

please. but wouldnt another light kill the battery a little quicker and why red. Why not blue? BLUE = KOOL

NoUseMerc6129d ago

Dear god I hope its rumble...that would be sweet!

Real Gambler6129d ago

If the sixaxis look exactly the same as the ones we currently have without rumble, then you will need to be able to tell which one has rumble and which one doesn't just by looking at them with the power off (before picking them up). So it's likely just colored plastic, not backlit.

70 percent of devs unsure of live-service games sustainability

With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.

It was worrisome to begin with.

It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.

I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.

What’s to be unsure of!? Look at the ratio of success to failure!

DarXyde1d ago

It's pretty ridiculous.

Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.

shinoff21831d 16h ago

Yes. Stop all the live service bs.

jznrpg1d 15h ago

Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.

Helldivers 2 manages just fine…

Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.

Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.

Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.

The Battle Pass Is The Worst Thing To Happen To Modern Gaming

Nameer from eXputer: "Some exceptions aside, I don't think the battle pass is a net positive for gaming with how they're implemented in most live service titles."

got_dam1d 19h ago

Battle passes AND meta gaming both.

DivineHand1251d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

I like the way Helldivers 2 does battle passes. It allows you to make purchases on each level of the battle pass and gives you the option of choosing which item to unlock first. The more purchases you make using medals the further you progress. There is no timer and you can earn medals towards purchasing stuff via personal orders and Major orders.

I haven't played much live service games that have battle passes but I remember some games that have battle passes where you progress through it linearly using an exp system. What makes it really bad is that the battle pass will have like 50 or more levels with the cooler stuff being closer to the end. They also have an in-game shop that sells exp boosters so you can reach the end of the pass before it refreshes. Everyone ilse will have to grind their way through.

battle pass in fortnite is perfect; buy one and it buys the rest for every other season as it gives you more money than the first cost. so 8.50 and season ends with you getting 13.00, it pays for the next and you have some pocket change to save up for cash shop. All of which is optional
