Keep Rumblin', Rumblin', Rumblin'


From IGN.com:

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.


By the by, I tainted my hard drive by downloading the Limp Bizkit "Rollin" video just so you could have a photo gag, folks. TAINT.

Late edit: Sony's keynote made it official. The Dual Shock 3 is arriving in November for Japan, and in Spring 2008 for the rest of the world.
