Immersion CEO Talks PS3 Rumble

Gamedaily writes: "After the DualShock 3 was officially unveiled during the Tokyo Game Show, Sony confirmed to GameDaily BIZ that the rumble technology in the new controller is the same as what's in the old DualShock 2. That said, certain editors have claimed that the DualShock 3 rumble is definitely improved and Kojima Productions' Ryan Payton believes the DualShock 3 is more advanced as well"

Immersion are not going to go & divulge information that Sony might not want out there at the moment.

mighty_douche6048d ago (Edited 6048d ago )

or perhaps it is infact better. remember, the hardware might be the same but its SOFTWARE that drives that hardware and i think you'll agree that we've seen a hugh advancement in software since Dual Shock 2.

Douche6048d ago

Impliment Immersion's new Touchsense technology. Now!

XxZxX6048d ago

upgrade = more money. I'm sure Sony will just stick with last-gen shock. Shock is so last gen anyway, It just people still want it and Sony has to bring it back.

Douche6048d ago

You definately did not read the article. The Immersion CEO clearly stated that their new Touchsense technology is less expensive than the Dualshock 2's last gen technology. Sony's actually spending more than they would if they implimented the new rumble technology into the Dualshock 3. The Touchsense rumble runs off of one motor instead of two which is less expensive and less power consuming. The technology resting in that single motor is much more advanced than those two motors of the Dualshock 2. It doesn't make any sense as to why Sony didn't choose this. The CEO even mentioned of how easy the new rumble can be worked with. This doesn't make any sense! Wake up Sony!!!

It's BEYOND Rumble... Read the article, I wouldn't see why Sony would not add the feature. Better technology, cheaper to make, can be used with the SIXAXIS. Sony, thank you for making up with Immersion, but it will only make sense if you release the DualShock 3 with their technology.

Time Lord6048d ago

New 'touchsence' rumble or the same old rumble? We need clear f'n answer.

Adamalicious6048d ago

We know that it's not TouchSense.

We also know that it uses the "same technology" as Dual Shock 2, but I believe this was said in regards to how developers program for it as opposed to the quality of the hardware in the controllers and what it's capable of.

Adamalicious6048d ago

It sounds more and more like everyone has seen TouchSense and decided not to use it. If what he's saying is true and it's really less expensive then is there anything left to assume other than it probably sucks?

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis5h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 1h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 1h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK22h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast4h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake21h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast4h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon16h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast4h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
