List of PS3 Titles Compatible With Rumble Controller

Kotaku has a list of PlayStation 3 titles compatible with the new rumble-enabled controller just announced this week at TGS. Most of the upcoming high profile titles for the console are on the list, and several already-released games will apparently become compatible with a quick software update. Some highlights from the list: "The Darkness, Devil May Cry 4, Turok, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, Burnout Paradise, RAGE, METAL GEAR SOLID 4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS, Condemned, Folklore, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Resistance: Fall of Man SOCOM: Confrontation, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Warhawk"

Or maybe it's a sign that everyone genuinely couldn't care less about the PS3 at this point?

Wait wait wait...

I thought rumble was supposed to be a last-gen technology fad. Why is Resistance: Fall of Man, the PS3's best first-gen/launch title getting a retroactive modification?

Because it was only the most egregious fanboys pushing that "I never wanted rumble anyway" thing.

In the cities, sometimes you'll see a bitter old man whistling at passing women. And, as they pass, he mutters something like "bitch, I ain't want you anyway".

PS3 fanboys are much like that bitter old man. :)

Meh.

I was an early adopter of the PS3 solely because of Sony's track record of backwards compatibility consistently getting worse as new versions of a particular console come out; I wanted to be sure to get the PS3 model that would play most (if not all) of my PS2 and PS1 library, and I have yet to actually play (let alone spend money on) a PS3 game. And the list of games here isn't going to change that for me as far as I can tell: I'm not going to speak for others, but there's nothing interesting for me in that list.

I'm looking forward to the new rumble controller for backwards compatibility, nothing else. I suppose, in that way, rumble really is a "last-gen" feature, as least on Sony platforms.

Now if only some new update will fix the sound flubs in Final Fantasy XI (or if S-E would release a PS3 client of the game).

"We get it, they've changed their minds. Yes, you're oh-so-witty for pointing out how Sony's doing a quick about-face. Because, y'know, never before in history has a company realized that they made a mistake and then gone back to correct it."

Ah, if only that was the whole story. The 'mistake' they made was they didn't want to pay licensing fees over the patent. Instead of just being upfront about that, they first claimed that their motion sensitive controller wouldn't work with Immersion's rumble technology.. When the Wii controller came out that supported motion sensing and rumble, Immersion made it public they had informed Sony about how to resolve that issue, then Sony fired back and said that rumble technology was last-gen.

Sony didn't simply make a mistake and correct it. They fought it kicking and screaming. If Sony hadn't been so negatively noisy about it, the Dual Shock 3 would barely have made the news.

It's not funny because they changed their minds, it's funny because it was always a lie. They knew people wanted rumble, they just couldn't give it to them due to the lawsuit still in deliberation, so they decided to badmouth the technology as a whole. And now, mere months after the console's release, they're trying to quietly pull back and hope we won't point and laugh at their earlier attempts to sugarcoat their inability to provide a feature their consumers expected.

I mean, they lie to us all the time, of course; that's what PR is. But if they'd said "rumble is nice, but we can't do that due to the lawsuit, sorry. Meanwhile, here's an equally interesting technology called sixaxis..." then we'd be less likely to revel in the Schadenfreude. And really, lets remember this is Sony, purveyor or rootkits and constant attempts to force proprietary formats on unwilling consumers; they've earned no sympathy.

Or maybe it's a sign that everyone genuinely couldn't care less about the PS3 at this point? I wouldn't say that. I'm entirely happy with mine, it is in pretty much continuous use here, mainly as a video player. My wife likes to browse Youtube with it, in preference to her PC. As a game machine the graphics are spectacular. I lost a lot of hours of my life to Elder Scrolls. Looking forward to see what the cell architecture can do with a really physics intensive game. The thing has just worked without a hiccup from right out of the box. No problem configuring wireless. The internet browser is functional, though no Opera or Firefox. The controllers are impressive, a nice balanced design and they run a surprisingly long time on a charge. Running Linux is a nice plus. I fully expect some fun hacks to arrive in due course.

Wii owns the lower end gaming market, no doubt about it. But Wii doesn't come anywhere close to the graphics power of the PS3, and cutesy is not what I'm looking for in a game. PS3 seems to have been targetted right at me, and I seriously doubt I'm alone. I don't know what more I'd ask for in it. More titles, as if I had time for that :-)

Well, those consoles have to be used for something until the good games come out.

"what company doesnt lie on a constant basis?"

Obviously Sony has done it a lot more 'constantly' than the other two this time around, their PR tanked.

"1. They made a console you dont like. ...."

This is why you don't understand what all the 'bashing' is about. You don't have a clue what's been going on. You actually think that one morning I woke up and thought "Hmm.. it'd be fashionable for me to hate Sony today for no reason." As near as I can figure, you've been avoiding even the most mainstream video game news over the last 18 months. Now, it may sound like I'm just being dismissive of what you're saying. Well, sorry, but if you really want to kick people in the butt to re-evaluate the PS3 you're not going to get anywhere by saying "I don't understand what all the fuss is about, you're just a fanboy." The PS3 had a lot of positive momentum going for it until E3 '06. That's when they first shot themselves in the foot. Maybe you'd like to browse through the news archives and see what all the fuss was about?

"I hardly see how this is worthy of all the bashing and crap they get on slashdot. Im not a fanboy but i can see customer attitude is starting to affect console makers and having a large impact on sales. I want more people buying ps3's so i can get some goddman games. i dont want it to turn into the dreamcast of this generation, minus the the good games. Im not going to start arguing pro ps3 but you cnat deny its a great piece of hardware, its not a piece of crap."

I agree with you that the hardware has some impressive graphical power. Throw lots of money at it, and sure, you can make the numbers of the specs go up.

"Its sounds old, but i cant even list the amount of things microsoft has done in the past year that are far worse than that. Why arent we out bashing them, boycotting their products and givign them a hard time, i mean they pretty much MAKE people buy their crap, and it IS crap. i know some of us do."

That's something else you should look into. Despite the silliness surrounding Microsoft and the XBOX 360 (i.e. Defective units...), they've still made an interesting and affordable game machine.

"Anyway i just dotn see why you feel the need to bash them so much when theres so many companies out there that are far worse. they made the ps3, made some design mistakes, and had a ceo who said some stupid things."

As I said, you're not seeing all of the saga surrounding Sony. You should look into that. As for bashing, I'd hardly call my post bashing. You're not going to get anywhere on this topic if you run around to people who have a different opinion from you and say "You're just bashing". I could accuse you of being the exact opposite, you know. "You'll let Sony do whatever they want and you'll cheer them on." You wouldn't care much for me saying that, right? Whatever. Go do a little research before taking potshots at people.
