SIXAXIS Rumble Confirmed By SCEA Employee
- Thread starter one
- Start date
I'd wage my money on that.
The only barrier I could see to that would be legal.
I doubt it, otherwise someone would have leaked that info. I bet the new rumble has a new API that Sony didn't have access to until the agreement. I'm not fan of rumble, but maybe they can patch some of the bigger games to use it.

Jack Tretton on bringing back vibration.
The official stance, then, is that it's yet to be confirmed. Which of course means we should expect something within the year.

Something funny and interesting I ve noticed btw......my friends who own a PS3 for some time they havent noticed there was no rumble until I ve accidentally told them.
My friend's cousin: Hey your controller is lighter than my PS2's
My friend: Nah it is the same
cousin: I am telling you it is lighter
friend: Its just you
Me: you know the reason the controller is lighter is because there is no rumble inside
friend: There is no rumble??
Me: No. You havent noticed?
This happened today:
me: there is this exhibition about videogames and there are indications that Sony will finally add rumble on the PS3 controller
my cousin: What is rumble?
me: the controller vibrates
cousin: Well MY controller has it....
me: no it doesnt.
cousin: I am telling you it has it
me: There is no vibration. I ve held your controller, and other people's controller.
cousin: But mine has it
me: There is no god damn vibration in your controller. Sony initially decided not to include it because they had been sued by another company for violating the patent of the technology. I ve readabout it over the internet and playied with your PS3 as well as others'

Doesn't make sense, 80 GB is coming next month without rumble
and more importantly they don't need clearance for introducing rumble.
lets see what will happen in 2 months

hmm....
I'm going for for fake.

Sure it is. Why would there be a cross around left stick? It only makes sense for d-pad.
Plus there is no way Sony would imitate MS with asymmetric sticks, so bluntly.
Might be for a wheel but it's ready anyway.

Maybe it has something to do with touchsense.
From what I can gleen from reading the things it's suppose to be capable of, I am guessing it won't all fit in the middle of the controller.
It's is supposed to be able to apply force to the analogue stick giving it a "force feedback" rather than simple rumble effect in the previous controllers.
Again, I do believe it is fake though.

If Sony ever decided to make something like that, I think they would be a little more creative with the design
I hope it's a fake. I like the DS arrangement.

No, that's not how it works.
It still only rumbles, but offers better contorl over the motors. A true force feedback for the sticks would be incredibly complicated to implement reliably in something as small as a joypad. Besides it would consume a lot of power which wouldn't be practical for a battery operated device.
You bet it's fake. Crappy photochop if ever I saw one.
I'm guessing it's done on purpose to generate traffic for the site.
Peace.
Motor, singular. TouchSense uses a single motor with a wider range of motions It consumes more power than a single motor from an ordinary dual-eccentric-weight system, but no more than a dual-motor setup.
Force Feedback, as you rightly state, basically needs motors to drive resistance of the thumbsticks. It's beyond the limits of the gaming controller setup I think, but technically it may not be too hard. You don't have to be able to resist the player's motions absolutely - only offer some resistance. Electromagnets might manage this effectively enough.
