Our handheld consoles can do anything, they can play games (naturally) they can play movies, they can play music, store photos, browse the internet and run homebrew applications. But there is one thing they can't do and that's rumble.
Of course you could always try playing one of your favourite games while sitting on the back of a JCB but Immersion, the company behind the rumbling features in most consoles including the PS3, has recently expressed a desire to supply a more elegant solution.
The new Nintendo-focused emulator for the iPhone is now available with support for several classic systems.
Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
First and foremost Immersion isn't behind the rumble in the PS3's new DS3 controller. They have payed to use Immersions patents but developed their own tech for the DS3. This was even stated recently by Immersion.
Secondly a new PSP just came out, there isn't any rumble tech built into it so scrap that idea, Sony won't come out with another version of the PSP for years. And when the hell did DS owners ever say anything about wanting rumble, umm never!
I'd rather have no rumble than short battery life.
errrrrr the ds has rumble and it sucks
comes with metroid pinbal. It isnt bad but it isnt anything earth shaking either (pun intended). It is cool to play metroid hunters and pinball as well as the zuma knockoff "magnetica" with the pack...if I remember to plug it in that is.
Please keep our handhelds free of rumble. Its enough with the new DS3 controller. I personally don't give a crap about. It was cool when I bought the rumble pack for Goldeneye, but the hype wore off after a day or so. I just don't get whats so good about rumble that they have to add it to everything. I'll keep on buying the sixaxix, rumble free. Longer battery, lighter...good trade off for something that shakes when I get hit in a game.
