Immersion was kind enough to invite The Game Feed for a chat with the minds that help bring rumbling to every gamer, Victor Viegas, CEO and President of Immersion and Gale Schaeffer, Vice President, Corporate Marketing. Here, Victor speaks frankly of their latest next-gen technology, TouchSense, how the rumble feature contributes to the enhancement and realism in next-gen gameplay, the controversy over Sony's decision to take away vibration in the PS3 controller and setting the record straight over motion sensing and rumble compatibility.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
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.
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
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
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.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Nintendo possibly being the next victim of Immersions lawsuit? Xbox 360 not exactly a done deal with the rumble controlpad? hmm...interesting.
Excellent news article ironwolf! yah native-american you.
I do think Nintendo is in the "crosshairs" I wonder what approach they will/would take if it came to a relality?
I personally don't like this company, it seems they love being in the "spotlight" when rumble isn't all that important in gaming. just my 2cents
they arent making any money anymore so all they can do is sue companies, i bet they are hoping nintendo are guilty of breaking copyright rules.
Wow long article.
Okay so no system as of yet is using next gen rumble? Talk about bad timing.. So if they add it to the 360 people then have to buy new controllers, looks like same deal with sony, Wii also..
Why are they so late in trying to sell their product this should have been presented to 360 and wii a long time ago.
I personally dont care for rumble, their new one seems better, but as far as relating it to ps2, 360, etc. I just never liked it, dont see how people feel immersed by it.
Probably would have been smart for sony to implement it to make more people happy but who knows what they have going being as they never say anything. Definately looking forward to motion sensing and would not have looked forward to rumble.
Good article though.
Wow this guy is a joke. Hes after the Wii's controller for sure. He's dying to see if they infringed his tech. He also said Wii's controlller feels like sony's Dual Shock 2.
I hope Wii doesnt get caught in a mess like Sony did.
