PS3 Rumble Controller Confirmed

Posted by Zonk on from the rumble-and-tumble dept.

IGN was playing a build of the upcoming title Burnout: Paradise when they noticed something new about the controller in their hands: it was shaking. The rumble-equipped PlayStation 3 controller is almost certainly a reality at this point, with Kaz Harai's keynote tomorrow expected to officially announce the product. "The controller we were using to play the demo looked exactly like a standard Sixaxis, except that it had a sticker on the bottom that said 'RUMBLE.' It also felt notably heavier than the standard Sixaxis."

    Swap the left Analog and Dpad. MS, Nintendo and Sega all did so because it is more comfortable to play 3D games that way.


    5. Don't listen to this guy. Leave the D-Pad right where it is. It's 1000x better that way. If you're going to move them, put them in the same place on both sides of the controller. If you're going to move them up, you'll have to make the controller wider, otherwise your thumbs won't be properly aligned with the analog sticks.

    Also: Somebody get this guy a copy of super-rub-a-dub, or something so he can realize that the problems he's having with the tilt are because of the game developers, not the controller....

    It keeps crashing. Any advice?

    But not a single one I'd pay 10 bucks to play, let alone 50.
