Sony Doesn't Take the Bait for SplitFish PS3 Rumble

Still hopeful that Sony might one day bring rumble back to the PlayStation 3? It doesn't look like it's going to happen. A company called SplitFish has announced new rumble tech that works with motion sensing and sidesteps Immersion's patents, but Sony told GameDaily BIZ that it's not interested.

i don't understand why they just don't implement it. i mean it would benefit us gamers.

Siesser7031d ago

I don't know. I'm hoping it's because they're trying to work on their own technology. If not, then it's silly pride on their part. Or maybe the technology just isn't that good, who knows?

Arkham7031d ago

They know they can do it, but it's too late. People will get over it.

gnothe17031d ago

the technology isnt that good!!an also it goes against what they said about rumble the whole time!!RUMBLE IS LAST GEN!!so if they add this now, how would that look!!

JIN KAZAMA7031d ago

same as when MS said that 1080P is virtually impossible to do, and then turned around and announced that they will be doing 1080P. People will always forget, as long as they get what they want. If they implement rumble, i am not gonna go and picket infront of Sony and yell, "YOU LIED TO US SONY, U SAID RUBMLE IS LAST-GEN, AND NOW U IMPLEMENT IT..BOO HOO HOO". As all the 360 zombies would do, theyd say, "hahaha, we told you, SONY LIES....LIES!!!!" So DUMB!

hardwood20017030d ago

JIN KAZAMA- You should know the Xbox 360 has a chip dedicated specially to do 1080p for the system. Microsoft like every other company, were waiting for Hollywood to finalize the specs for HD movies. After the specs became final the update to the chip went through to allow all Xbox 360's to do 1080p natively, for movies and games. If I remember correctly the chip was called "ANA". What is so special about this chip is it's ability to operate WITH the Xbox 360's system, therefore not using anymore power from the CPU or GPU.

TheMART7030d ago

BULL

No rumble is a miss.

If Rumble is last gen, motion sensing is also. That has been done a long time ago. MS did it with the Sidewinder also for the PC. And it failed, people only used it for 5 minutes and then switched without it.

Sony's online system is also last gen. So PS2... So not premium like XBL is!

And no force feedback on racing wheels? WTF is that? The 360 has a very nice racing wheel with force feedback

Shadow Flare7031d ago

Its not too late to incorporate it. The psone started off with a basic controller, then later it got analogue sticks and then later it got dualshock. The splitfish design sounds like a great idea, it would've been brilliant with the sixaxis. I still don't get how it works if it has no mechanical parts. Who knows, maybe the design really sucks. Maybe they literally filled a sixaxis controller half full with water. So when you jolt the controller around fowards and sideways the water inside would give that extra bit of force for a deeper game experience. Well they did say they specifically created it with motion controllers in mind.

OutLaw7031d ago

I have a PS3 and I feel that the downside of having it is the no rumble feature. So I hope that Sony would just look like a liar just one more time and put this feature in the controller for all their loyal supporters who already purchased the system.

One more lie is not going to kill them and may also convince some more people to actually purchase the PS3.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle3d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde10d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy11d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga12d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199211d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga11d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman11d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger11d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box12d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion11d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7212d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7511d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit11d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14912d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7712d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
