PSM France reveals PS3 rumble controller details? |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: PS2, Sony
Ó
According to Gamers Creed, PlayStation Magazine France has reportedly released new details regarding a new PS3 controller in the works. None of this has apparently been confirmed by Sony, but since it does happen to be on a PlayStation related magazine, we're posting the details here for you to think about.Below are the details mentioned in Gamers Creed's report:
Technical details:
- The gyroscopic functions can cohabit with the vibrations. The explanation? The speed to which a player can move the lever is quite lower at the speed of the vibrations.
- The engine of vibration could be inclu in the lever without having to modify the form of it. There is enough place for the new engine, and this one, concus by Immersion, are lighter for an obstruction equivalent.
- One indeed has to expect a reduction in the autonomy of Sixaxis. Nevertheless, the new engine of vibration does not consume more than the old models (Dualshock) in spite of the fact that it is more powerful.
- The new engine is less expensive to build, and a possible rise in price of the pad should be only very light.
- With an update of the firmware, we will be able to have the vibrations for plays PS2
New technology, named "Touchsense" is a mini-revolution. Indeed, from now on, the vibrations will not emanate solely any more from the handles of the pad (as on Dualshock) but will be perceptible in various places of the lever. It as should be specified as they will be more powerful, more intense and over short periods if the programmers wish it. Thus, the developers will be able to create a multitude of still new effects. If Sony chooses this technology, it will thus not act of a simple return of the vibrations, but well of a very new technology.
The report also mentions that the new vibration system will allow for replication of new events, such as the jolting forces of a shot, as well as small shocks normally attributed to riding a car on dirt, for example.
Hopefully, some, if not all of the information they've put in will end up being true. It's nice to hope at least. We'll search for more info on these updates and give them to you as soon as we get them. Till then, sit tight.

The vibration will probably make the controller heavier no matter what they say, let's just hope they dont make it as heavy as the Dual Shock 2. And I personally hope for a complete redesign on the grip as well, since it's completly the same since the Dualshock one.
Let's also not forget that it's possible that they even want to make the gyro-function even more advanced now when Wii's controller had such a big hit on the market.
And lasty I hope they get out with new info on the new controller on E3. or at least before good 4 player games come out, like LBP(Litte Big Planet). Since I own Two six-axis controllers for the ps3, and I plan to buy two vibration controllers as well.
I wonder what the new name on the controller will be?
Sixasis two? Probably not, that name sucks...

Really don't understand that...
What Lever? If that the controller? Sounds like the wiimote.
Or does this mean we need to move the controller slower for it recognise the motion whilst it's vibrating?
Whatever, I hope it doesn't lose the functionality of SIXAXIS and gains some rarther cool vibration, the "Indeed, from now on, the vibrations will not emanate solely any more from the handles of the pad (as on Dualshock)" part sounds awesome... can't wait, getting my PS3 soon, going to be irritated once I've bought my controllers to find a new one being released

What lever are they talking about? Do they mean the analog sticks, the tilt angle, or some new internal part of the system?

I mean, while you're overhauling the controller, might as well make a few changes, right?

Remember they sued them for breaking there contract. But it didnt say anything about a new tecnology called Touchsense.
I say the new name of the controller is Six-Axis Touchsense.
