September 19, 2007 - Big shocker at today's Electronic Arts pre Tokyo Game Show press event. While playing a demo of Burnout Paradise, we felt something that we never thought we'd feel from a PS3 controller -- shake!

That's right, Burnout Paradise is the first rumble-equipped PS3 game we've ever played. Which made us think at the time, if the game is making the controller shake, the controller must be a new version of the Sixaxis!

In fact, 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.

We presume this is a prototype of the PlayStation 3's new rumble controller, whatever it's going to be called.

The rumble itself felt around the level of PlayStation 2 rumble. We're not sure just yet if Sony is using any of that next generation technology Immersion has been talking about for the past few months.

A formal announcement is expected tomorrow at Kaz Hirai's keynote address.

As for the rest of the EA event, as well as details from today's Sony and Konami events, check back at IGNPS3 through the night.

booya *****es... it's about time! does this mean we'll get an update for RFOM and MotorStorm and Heavenly Sword????

TruBlu2 · 09-19-2007, 03:30 PM

Updates for existing games will probably be made available.

CptGreedle · 09-19-2007, 03:32 PM

I hope these will let PS2 games use rumble on the PS3 again!

u_nick · 09-19-2007, 03:33 PM

I have no interest, but I'm glad the Sony bashers will have one less thing to complain about now.

Cyorg · 09-19-2007, 04:31 PM

Good, I miss the rumble when I'm playing shooters.

glenn22 · 09-19-2007, 04:34 PM

what's so great about rumble?? I never really cared about it and sometimes was even annoyed by it.

I guess it is for some people... I just hope they give me the option to turn it off in the menu.... or I guess I could just not buy the sixaxis rumble.

It helps some people with immersion into the game. I only really liked it with shooters. It does get annoying with racing games, and it's kind of worthless with RPGs. (IMHO)

BillCable · 09-19-2007, 04:44 PM

Yeah, I had to turn it off on FFXII... every time you start a chain of Quickenings it got ridiculous. "Oh, here's another tidal wave, and the controller jumps up out of my hand!" It is nice for some games, though.

I love rumble in games like Silent Hill. Feeling your heart beating faster & faster really ups the fear factor imo.

*contemplates trying to play Lair with the control rumbling*

Mental note... Don't.

Shin-Ra · 09-19-2007, 05:04 PM

I don't want to spoil anyone's fun (I was going to let the original comment pass) but you-know-what isn't really suitable discussion for this board.

Blu Blur · 09-19-2007, 05:04 PM

I was cool with no rumble but for those that are not I am glad to see this come about. Everyone bashes Sony but the Playstation is the only brand that actually gives a damn about their customers.

I have Kaz Hirai on my PSN friends. I didn't know he was the President of Sony!!!! Wow, I always thought he was with Insomniac. We message each other every now and then.
