PS3 Sixaxis Rumble
Is it just me or does anybody else miss the fact that the Sixaxis does not have a rumble feature?
I know the inclusion of the motion sensitivity is a good innovation as long as games don't start relying on it because then the PS3 will just end up as being a very expensive Wii (apart from the PS3 having a far better name, i mean, Wii? what's that supposed to mean?).
I just miss the physical feedback that you used to get from games such as Gran Turismo and the like, without that rumble it just always seems like there's something lacking from the experience now.
As far as the reasons for not having the rumble feature, first it was that Sony that said it couldn't work with the motion sensitivity, then Immersion said it could be done, but Sony wouldn't implement it because of the lawsuit against them, I mean, it was nothing personal, it was just Immersion tryin to get back what they felt was stolen from them with the inclusion of their rumble devices inside the Xbox 360 controller and the Dual Shock 2. It just seems to me that Sony, as much as I love them, are acting like a big spoilt child that's just had his sweets taken away from him.
I think Sony should just get its act together and try to forge a way forward with Immersion, who, incidentally, are still trying to work with Sony. It's time Sony started listening to what it's fans actually want instead of giving us their interpretation of what we want.
(After more thought, the PS3 could never be like the Wii. The PS3 has the backing of major software developers and also actually has some decent games, unlike WiiSports. Come on Nintendo you can do better than that!!)
