Immersion pondering rumble for DS/PSP?

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.

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.

GameClearer6031d ago

errrrrr the ds has rumble and it sucks

darthv726031d ago

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.

pilotpistolpete6031d ago

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.

How long until they get sued and it gets taken down? I say a month or 2

PRIMORDUS1d ago

Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣

As long as it isn't emulating the Switch, it'll be fine.

RonnySins22h ago

Naaah! Don't want to waste time emulating on iPhone.

Knightofelemia20h ago

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.

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.

Relientk777d ago

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator7d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

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?

ravens5210d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5210d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212110d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens529d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens529d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

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.

Barlos10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani9d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum10d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman10d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim10d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

I disagree Batman
