Question for those of us who've played a PS3.

Did you miss the rumble? I played Motorstorm last night at Target and didn't realise that the controller lacked vibration till I was telling a friend about the game hours later. And yes i I knew the controller didn't have vibration, but what I mean is that I didn't notice it while playing. The game didn't seem like it lacked it. Maybe it was just excitement, i dunno.

To be honest, I don't think it at all as a deciding factor for purchasing or anything, but I will miss it very much. I just like rumble, it makes games feel cooler when they are done to good effect. My best example by very far is Gran Turismo 4. You can almost feel the ruts in the road and all the other ways the cars and tires and ground interact with each other, it's awesome.

I'll miss it. :(

P.S. You made a really craptacular title, no offense meant. Don't make thread titles like "What do you think of this" or "What I think of X game." Make the title actually mean something. A question about the PS3 could mean a million things. To keep the forum nice and pretty looking, a better title would be "How do you feel about the absence of Rumble?" or something like that, so the title actually means something and contains the subject on the cover, ya know? Lol, I went pretty in depth there, no hard feelings, just for next time.

no your right......I felt the same way..... its exactly what you said..."maybe it was just excitement".....I forgot who mentioned it, but someone (Sony rep or Dev.) said that players are going to be so caught up in watching and moving around because of the excitement that players won't notice......this can be true to a certain extent.....

when I was playing Shadow of the Collosis the other night.....every Footstep I could feel the Collosis walking towards me while I was running away and not facing the it........same thing with the King Kong game....you can feel the T-Rex chasing you.......next time I play SofC I will try to turn off the rumble just to see If I notice the difference.......

but like I said when I was playing Motorstorm...I didn't notice it missing.....same thing when I played Full Auto 2..........

I haven't played PS3, but I did the test last weekend when I was playing with my PS2. I turned off rumble for a while, and even though I did notice it at first (since I had been playing with it enabled for half an hour or so), I totally forgot about it 5 minutes later. The core fun owns the rumbling enhancement.

Now, if I'm playing some game with motion sensing support, I don't think I'll care whether it rumbles or not at all.

Ok, I just wanted to see if I was the only one who had experienced that "effect". I might pop in Killzone or play some Gears of War and turn the rumble off and see how it goes. And as far as the title goes, I get what you're sayin. But what I was lookin for was someone to come in and be all "nope, didn't miss it" or "motorstorm sucked without it". I've seen the "absence of rumble" threads, I just wanted a response from a specific group.

Not really, in fact it depends on the games. for Resistance I did miss the rumble a little bit, but when you play the game it so immersive that you forgot it in a couple of minutes, same for MotorStorm , everything it on the screen and I was totally amazed by the graphics that I forgot the rumbles.
But yup For certain games like Socom when I play it, I can't see how I could play a socom on PS3 without the rumbles, coz when you're hit by bullets it feels so much better to feel the pad vibrating.
BUt well I used to play without rumble , look at the PSP for example so I don't mind.

Not to me no, but has been stated, I don't know if that was a side effect of me being so excited.
