Immersion Queries Lack Of PS3 Controller Rumble

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the interesting-timing dept.

simoniker writes "Following the announcement that the PS3 controller will lack a rumble feature, Gamasutra spoke to Victor Viegas of Immersion Corporation, which is currently suing Sony over the PS2 rumble functionality, about what he feels the company's reasoning truly is. He claims of the PS3 controller having both rumble and tilt: 'I don't believe it's a very difficult problem to solve', and also said that his employees thought the PS3 controller 'felt light, that it felt cheap and flimsy, and that it lacked weight or substance.'"

    You must be depressed as hell.

    Go through all the trouble to post -yet- another Sony hater article - and people are beating up on Immersion instead.

    I think that's hillarious myself.

    Sounds like an Xbox fanboy who wants to hide his identity by putting the Wii in there. Whatever he is, it strangely sounds like Mircosoft's official line at the E3: "Buy a Wii and then a 360 with the money you will save."
