I was standing next to a tank in GRAW last night it was cool. lol I also was playing Moto GP and i kicked ass because i could feel the bike. lol

Into adding rumble, no matter what the cost to Sony might be, There are however two winners here. Immersion (ofcourse) and the public who really do need rumble. Far more important than tilt - me thinks.

MONOLITHICIDE6595d ago

i hope the two companies settle this dispute soon, i dont care if rumble is gone but i will miss it in the ps3 games, i do think sony should get and intwin both rumble and tilt sensing together, cause i do think there lieing about how the two effect one another, but if they dont bring back rumble, tilt sensing will be kool and i will prolly forget about rumble

pRo loGic II6595d ago

Yah some care about it, but personally it would'nt be of big a deal most make it out to be. But it does add richness to the experiance.

Marriot VP6595d ago

let's get real, immersion souly won't be a good enough reason not to get a PS3. BUT, not having it and many other good reasons of not getting a PS3 only adds up. For many it could be the last straw.

NitrogenB6595d ago

if you're basing your descicion to get a ps3 based on the lack of rumble feature, you need to question if you really wanted one in the first place...

Marriot VP6595d ago

no way, I'm just saying that for some people it could be the last straw. Not for me though I'm a lot different.

Capt CHAOS6594d ago

For some, Rumble is a must-have. Maybe not for Paul. This will just point to lost sales for Sony.

THAMMER16595d ago

I personally think that people can live with out the vibration. But I think you are a liar if you say you do not want it. Vibration is what made so many games that much more immersive. There is too much to be lost with out this feature. I also see where the motion sensor is cool to but it really sucks and it seems like a way to ride the Wii line a little.

lilgringo6595d ago

Who are you to say what I want and don't want? I can honestly say that I really don't want rumble, saves me the time it takes to turn the damn thing of in every game, and it's definitely not worth the risk of getting permanent damage in my hands when i get older

96impala6595d ago

lil dude please, damage to your hands when you get older...first of all if you were that worried you wouldn't be doing what you're doing in your room when you think your parents are sleep. Secondly, tomorrow is promised to nobody. So stop foolin yourself you know you love rumble. Just admit.

lilgringo6594d ago

lol, yeah you're right! It's not like i'd like to be able to play games when i get older, what were i thinking? oh wait... I do! I fail to see how masturbation could possibly be bad for me, but then again you're probably american so that might explain your opinion. And are u telling me that i may not live tomorrow so i shouln't be worried that my action have consequences? Hmm what should i do with this gun? What to do, what to do...
P.S. i don't like rumble

96impala6594d ago

Yeah im an American, and now that i know you are not that explains your logic. Now no rumble in games stink, your logic stinks. Now go wash your hands for we all know you've been making your own rumble.

lilgringo6593d ago

I always wash my hands afterwards, and for ur interest it takes more than some kind of rumble movement to get me going, it's more of a shaking-the-ketchup-bottle movement... or something. Anyway, rumble is useless, get over it!

96impala6591d ago

lol yo, i couldn't care less about you and your ketchup mimmicking. Or if you washed your nasty little hands or whatever you do by your self. all im saying is you love want and need rumble saying anything else then your lying to yourself not me. Now you get over it.

lilgringo6589d ago

you're the one who brought it up, and i have the right to defend myself, don't i? For the last time, no! i definitely DO NOT care for rumble, how many times do i have to tell u that?

Mortal Kombat 9 Is Still NetherRealm's Best Game 13 Years Later

I like which ever one, Raiden was speed blasting muthafkers.

monkey6023h ago

I agree. 9 was awesome

Shaolin Monks next please

vTuro242h ago

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

vTuro242h ago

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 5h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 5h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 4h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
