Good list of rumble compatible games alone with the supposed 1.94 firmware update including rumble drivers.

I wonder if it would be possible that one could import the controller from Japan and receive its benefits through these soon to launch titles.

[Nameless]

I believe there's an interview with the developers of Uncharted stating the game out the box would support the feature so I would imagine any importers will enjoy the feature.

I'm not sure about BC and rumble for importers, but some of the new releases should definately work.

I can't wait to test this next month!

:look:

LMFAO

[GTAce]

*cough old cough*










But still nice. :)
I can't wait to test this next month!
Do you import the white one?

[FantasyGhost]

It's a list of September 20th ;) Nobody posted it yet so.

[Nameless]

I wonder if COD4 will support rumble out of the box?

^Someone posted it in another thread, but it does deserve it's own thread; good work.

[OG_Monkey]

hmm....

[jaxmkii]

yeay....

i mean WAHOO!

[OmniCloud]

I'm guessing I should go and order a Japanese one online...Nameless what was that website again?

[Nameless]

^ http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/code-c/version-all/section-games/did-5/pid-1005069402/

[OG_Monkey]

$70, get the fuck outta here

come to think of it, sony never said how much the controller would be did they?

[Nameless]

The import price is high...
I would guess the US version will be around $49.99 USD.

[OG_Monkey]

thats what im thinking itll be too. Then to get rid of the sixaxas' (if they plan to phases it out) they;ll drop that to $40 or $30 even

[Nameless]

^They will never get rid of Sixaxis period...

[cliffbo]

if i imported the dualshock 3 from japan, would it be 100% compatible with European consoles?

[Sephiroth_VII]

Yes, no doubt about it. My Japanese SIXAXIS works just fine with my US PS3.

[cliffbo]

Yes, no doubt about it. My Japanese SIXAXIS works just fine with my US PS3.

thank! :)

[Sephiroth_VII]

My pleasure.

[OG_Monkey]

^They will never get rid of Sixaxis period...

so you think they will be selling 2 different controllers at the same time?

[LaLiLuLeLo]

They will start phasing out the sixaxis once DualShock3s are coming with PS3s out of the box. Same as the original DualShock.

[OG_Monkey]

thats what i thought

[LaLiLuLeLo]

I'm guessing, but I think that'll make the most sense, yeah? Adoption should be pretty seemless, if it's anything like in 1997/98 when they released the first dualshock.

[Nameless]

I thought you were saying to kill the Sixaxis feature not the original controller...
My bad. :duh:

[OG_Monkey]

oh lol

[LaLiLuLeLo]

I thought you were saying to kill the Sixaxis feature not the original controller...
My bad. :duh:

Derrrrrrr.

[Fazares]

hehe...i already preordered a jap one...

[Sephiroth_VII]

Me too. White :cloud9:

[VG Aficionado]

Same here :hugegrin:

[Sephiroth_VII]

Express or Standard?

[VG Aficionado]

I'm not in a hurry for it, I don't need rumble before MGS4, so standard. If it arrives before Uncharted (December 7 in Europe), it'll be totally fine. It should arrive around November 25 anyway.

[Sephiroth_VII]

I would've chosen express, but since standard was free...

[VG Aficionado]

Yeah, that too :-p I'm paying a bit less than 50 €, which is the price I'd expect for a DS3 in Europe eventually. And if for some reason the white one wasn't sold here at first, or ever, it's a great idea to import one now.

[Sephiroth_VII]

Yeah. Oh, the slick snow white controller, IN MY HANDS!! :cloud9:

[\m/]

I'm amazed so many people are bothered about the rumble function. Personally, I think it's the most stupid feature you could add to a controller.

[masteratt]

Unless it's in a MGS game then it's the best feature ever.

I also like how it's turned on and off (through the PS menu in game, very nice and easy).

[\m/]

I just don't get what it adds to the gaming experience. For me, a vibrating pad doesn't make my gaming experience better. I guess we'll be seeing DualShock sofas bundled with BluRay films in the near future...

[masteratt]

I just don't get what it adds to the gaming experience. For me, a vibrating pad doesn't make my gaming experience better.
As I said- MGS :)

I agree with you 100% outside of the MGS premise but when you are in the MGS premise, rumble is great.

[\m/]

Didn't make the other MGS games any better.

[VG Aficionado]

I haven't missed rumble in the last few months, but since I want another controller and I like the white one, I'm getting it. All I really want rumble for is MGS4.

Didn't make the other MGS games any better.Huh? We all know about MGS1, but it was awesome to sense Snake's heart beats inside a locker in alert mode in MGS2. In MGS3, it was awesome to have rumble during the cutscenes, there were some moments that did have a greater immersion feeling with rumble. There also was a proximity detector that worked with rumble.

[Sephiroth_VII]

I think he's trying to say that he doesn't like MGS...

[masteratt]

Hmmm, a criminal hey?

Get the machete.

[\m/]

I think he's trying to say that he doesn't like MGS...

Woah, hold on there. I love the MGS games! I'm just not a fan of rumble.

[Sephiroth_VII]

Oh, ok. But please, mind you words. Speaking ill of MGS will lead to a permaban, lots of spam, and having your HDD filled with vira. :)

[VG Aficionado]

Not to mention eye stabbing.

:look:

[\m/]

Lol, I would never do such a thing. MGS has definitely been one of my favourite series of games over the years.

...Apart from Snake's Revenge, that was just plain awful!

[VG Aficionado]

That wasn't made by Kojima or had Kojima's approval and it wasn't canonical in any way either, so yeah, it sucked.

[\m/]

Knowing that he had nothing to do with it makes me feel a whole lot better :)

[Sephiroth_VII]

Kojima didn't even know it was in development before it was released, so completely unrelated to him- luckily.
