Innerbits.com report that there are Several fresh items of news today, regarding the PS3 controller:
"We can confirm that prototypes of the new rumble-enabled controllers have made their way to various Sony developers. Information on these controllers is still closely held by Sony and their partners, but an official announcement and unveiling is expected in the next two to three months. Leipzig is the most obvious guess for this unveiling, but we believe Sony is going to withhold the controllers until they can launch them to coincide with support from enough developers.
We can also confirm that new versions of the Sixaxis controller are quietly replacing the original controllers launched with the console. Hardware updates occur regularly throughout the lifespan of controllers; in this case, Sony has improved the fidelity of motion sensing in the controller. The original controllers apparently suffered of too much of a dead zone."

they put a better battery(the batter for it now is good, but with rumble it might be good to have a better battery) in it since we would have rumble as well.
edit: love how some coward disagreed with me.
thats the main reason why MGS4 was pushed to Q1 '08. Kojima want to add the whole MGS experience (Rumble) to the last game of the saga.
double post.
Maybe Kojima suggested a clause that stated that if no rumble was put into PS3 controllers, MGS would go multi-platform o_o
Oh and..
does Snake's SIXAXIS have rumble? =\
Developer can also be used in the greater sense to refer to a group of people en toto when they act as a single entity in game making. An example is "Kojima Productions is the developer on MGS4."
At the same time he is a developer, producer and, as he often prefers, a director of sorts.
Rumble, more accurate motion sensing, and maybe a solution to the internal battery crisis? I can't wait to get my hands on this controller! It probably won't be as ridiculously light as the original Sixaxis, but oh well.
the heavier controller. Sometimes I feel like I am going to break the PS3 controller. My favorite controller was the logitech wireless one for the PS2. Perfect I think.
consumers ask for it and Sony makes darn sure that they provide it...sooner or later is better than never.
I will be interested if these will truly feature something more than just vibration with the example that "Touchsense" gives us.

i just hope it doesnt cost too much, the sixaxis is costs enough as it is.
Awhile back a sony rep, I forgot who, said something about a "next-gen" rumble controller. Or something to that effect. So from then on, gamers assumed he was referring to immersions "touchsense" tech.
PSM France has revealed some new news regarding the PS3 SIXAXIS rumble controller. One of the rumors that surround this much needed controller for the Playstation 3 is that it could contain Touch Sense. This is a much more sophisticated vibration system than the old PS2 controller, as it meant that the vibrations do not come just from the handles but from various areas of the lever.
PSM france reveals new info on PS3 SIXAXIS rumble
This months edition of PSM France reportedly reveals lots of new information on the upcoming rumble enabled Official PS3 SIXAXIS controller. One of the interesting revelations is that the controller may contain 'touch sense' which will mean the vibrations do not emanate solely from the handles but various places of the Lever and developers should be able to create a multitude of effects.
Technical details
- the gyroscopic functions can cohabit with the vibrations. The explanation? The speed to which a player can move the lever is quite lower at the speed of the vibrations.
- the engine of vibration could be inclu in the lever without having to modify the form of it. There is enough place for the new engine, and this one, concus by Immersion, are lighter for an obstruction equivalent.
- One indeed has to expect a reduction in the autonomy of Sixaxis. Nevertheless, the new engine of vibration does not consume more than the old models (Dualshock) in spite of the fact that it is more powerful.
- the new engine is less expensive to build, and a possible rise in price of the pad should be only very light.
- With an update of the firmware, we will be able to have the vibrations for plays PS2
Details on the "touchsense":
New technology, named “Touchsense” is a mini-revolution. Indeed, from now on, the vibrations will not emanate solely any more from the handles of the pad (as on Dualshock) but will be perceptible in various places of the lever. It as should be specified as they will be more powerful, more intense and over short periods if the programmers wish it. Thus, the developers will be able to create a multitude of still new effects. If Sony chooses this technology, it will thus not act of a simple return of the vibrations, but well of a very new technology
- This technology will be able to reproduce the fast jolt and forces caused by a shot,
- Immersion promises that one will be able to feel the asperities of the road in the plays of race (like Dirt), but also small shocks related on the shiftings of speed and even to accelerations or decelerations

Just a rumour for now, hopefully at E3 they'll announce it.

Immersion seems like they have actually made it for the SIXAXIS. lol
but you know what? Not having a rumbling controller for the past 4 months hasn't bothered me at all
I really hope they've got the new rumble in from immersion that's sounding pretty promising, I like the different effects they could make out of that...
Now, rumble in ForceFeedback wheels...Thats another story.
I'd like Sony to come out and say, RUMBLE IS BACK, *****es! =D
Yes, I know it goes against whatever the hell they said, but the fact is, rumble was fun..and although I don't NEED it, I miss having my controller vibrate to let me know I'm dying in the game because I decided to put on TV while the load screen progressed >_<! It'd be especially helpful when I start a Resistance match! 3 deaths just because I started watchign TV..bullcrap!
***EDIT***
For anyone interested, Leipzig runs from Aug 23 to 26.
preferably for me... i've gotten use to playing with out vibration... but if they add it ... thats kool wit me =)
I think that would be a good move.. No telling yet if this will pan out.

My ps3 controller has dead zones?
I've got a rumbly in my tumbly, give me something sweet!
Played a few of the old PS2 games on my PS3... and found that the sound actually gives the same effect - could swear I feel the rumble as with the PS2 - and yet - it was only the bass music effects. Not that I am complaining if rumble comes back- just found with the PS3 that I did not actually miss it...
I hope they beef up the controller a bit, it just feels a bit fragile atm.
I heard they settled the dispute over the rumble thing a little while ago so this has probably been in development for at least a month or two. I've never minded not having the rumble and tbh I wouldn't complain if it was added back in. I just hope the rumble doesn't affect the lifespan of the controllers. Afterall, motion and rumble in a controller being shaken about like that could damage it over time...
Its wireless, it senses motions, and now it even rumbles! Best controler evar?
Nope.
Playing with FPS with two analog sticks still SUCKS.
Implement an aiming system that is closer and natural like the mouse and the PS3 will have the best controler in gaming history.
I like the fact that my thumbs are lined up and not placed awkwardly away from each other, the games that were coded using those analogs back on the PS2 with FPS was terrible.
Resistance is proof in the pudding that the Sixaxis layout is really well done and how coding to be efficient with the controls should be done on that controller.
Just my two cents for the day.

But i'm always willing to pick up things with more features so ofcourse i'm all for it. But not having it has ZERO impact on my game experiences.
IF they are going to put it it, i'd like the NEW RUMBLE. Not just the same Rotating Metal Wheels.
