DualShock 3: First Impressions by CVG

Such a fuss hasn't been made out of a rumbling controller since Nintendo pioneered the whole idea with the N64 Rumble Pak back in 1997, but the shaking SixAxis, or DualShock 3 as it will be known, flew in straight from TGS.

Sony strolled into the CVG office this week with one of the new pads for CVG to put under a magnifying glass for an in-depth look. CVG even got to play with it.

Hopefully when they get some other new games to test with it (eg MGS4 demo, which vibrated the demo controllers on different sides), we'll find out if the positional rumble made it to the final production models.

Even if it is the new touch sense tech.
The game itself needs to be programed properly to take full advantage of its features.
And with Devs like Kojima and the guys from DMC saying they only got the drivers for the DS3 a week before TGS, It is unlikely anyone had time to get it into their demos properly.

Seems like last gen rumble to me.

HowarthsNJ6049d ago

It's amazing how these sites manage to be biased without really trying.

I'm sure it's more about the new rumble software (and game) rather than the pad itself.

masterg6049d ago (Edited 6049d ago )

Well it's not.. Not that there is anything wrong with last gens rumble.
But this new version sounds cool.

Should be really helpful for example felling that people are shooting you from the left instead of having to look for it on the screen.

Or feeling where the battle is going on instead of trying to pinpoint it by sound alone.

Greysturm6049d ago (Edited 6049d ago )

Even if its advanced i dont think they would have managed to get it to do much more than just typical rumble, however Ryans podcast from the Kojima productions said it had some +functionality than normal rumble.

Rims6049d ago

Tounch sense is next gen rumble.

What the hell was all the fuss 1up made about the controller.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer5h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya3h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde3h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

Odd this and the xillia games still haven't gotten remasters yet.
