Sony to Rumble again?

Posted on Friday, 2 March 2007 by Speed, source: Yahoo
Yahoo has word that Sony and Immersion have settled their lawsuit concerning the rumble feature in the Playstation controllers and have signed a new deal together which will bring Immersion technology back to Playstation

"We are pleased to have put this litigation behind us," said Immersion CEO Victor Viegas. "Our new business agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment is specifically intended to enable advanced vibration capability for the benefit of the PlayStation gaming community. We are happy to provide our technology in this regard and hope to make technical proposals very soon with respect to use of our technology in the PlayStation products."

So it seems the Sixaxis controller will soon be getting its rumble feature back. The rumble feature that only a couple of days ago was dismissed by Sony as a "last-gen feature". Guess it wasn't so last-gen that they wanted to skip it completely...

Seriously these guys are complete wankers.

Although i own their machine and want and to see some good games on it i really hope it comes in third place against Wii and X360.

My PS2 was allways secondary to my Xbox and the PS3 at the moment is hardly used compared to my X360, not overly impressed with it other than Motor Storm and i honestly pity anyone who only owns a PS3 and no other console.

Maybe when they are shoe horning in rumble they will fix the shit second bumper trigger type buttons.

If your wondering what all this means for us well let me tell you. It means the end of Sixaxis as we know it and hello £50 dual shock 3......Well you don't expect Sony to pay for there mistakes do you? That’s what we are here for. Mark my words this will not be cheap. Also what about the games that are already out there with no rumble they won't get fixed will they.

This really shows how Sony works it's all crap until they get it.

So to sum up rumble is last gen. Translated into human speak we don't want to pay for rumble so it's last gen and you don't need it.

180 coming right up…

No no no …… hold on……. we have sorted it now so it now brilliant and it will be know hence forth and from this day forward as advanced vibration technology also known as (haptics technology). Now again in human speak and for the non Phill Harrison speakers out there it’s fucking RUMBLE..

But of course now Sony have Rumble back it will be better than any other rumble in the world ever and that’s a fact, you can bet your life on it, honest it is next gen rumble not just plain old rumble that we didn’t want to use old shitty rumble. Because it just wasn’t next gen enough for us here at Sony.....Did I mention Rumble won't start until we say it does and that’s a fact.
