The latest issue of Famitsu PS2 has a short Q&A session with Hori, maker of some of the finest officially-licensed PlayStation 2 peripherals. The biggest bit from the interview concerns a piece of technology that's missing from Sony's new Sixaxis controller: rumble.
Asked if Hori was considering a peripheral to give PS3 players the gift of shake, the representative stated, "We have some ideas. However, we'd need cooperation from software makers."
Let's hope some third parties are willing to make their games compatible with a non-standard rumble accessory.
The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.
Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.
If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."
In an exclusive interview with GTA BOOM, former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij reveals how Rockstar North really operated and debunks one of GTA’s biggest myths.
anything that`s got nothing to do with immersion cop. would be welcome.i strongly believe sometime next year there`s gonna be rumble on ps3
if Hori decides to create a "rumble like" feature, i hope it'll be something uniquely special. something that'll set it apart from the Immersion rumble. then again, it HAS to be different or else they'll get their asses sued.
If they made it, I would buy it. Heck, I'd pay $5 or $10 extra for Sony to include it with the SixAxis.
If Nintendo isnt paying Imersion then they have won the battle against the patent company and all Sony would have to do is buy rights from nintendo right?
Maybe Im Wrong.
But I do know that Sony has apealed the Immersion suit and that rumble can always be implemented later on.
It is certainly possible and would be a good thing for them to avoid paying Immersion.I think Sony's intent is to avoid paying any royalties to Immersion especially if its true that Microsoft owns an interest in them. All new games could automatically be made to support it and games that are made before this rumble controller(if and I hope they do make it) can be supported by a down-loadable patch. In any event I'd welcome it.
