Vibration is back in the building

Dualshock 3

Well folks, they caved. :)

For those in the know… TGS is currently in full swing. Last night Sony had their press conference and few things came out of note. One of them being that the DualShock controller was coming back, re-adding that fan-favourite, rumble back into the PLAYSTATION 3 controller.

The official word from Sony is that all the technical hurdles between the rumble and tilt functionality have finally been overcome. The official word from everyone not completely gulible and subject to spin is that they’ve somehow come to an agreement with Immersion in regards to their lawsuit. :)

Thanks for giving us back what we already had Sony, it was missed. There’s a small list of games that are already compatible with the new DualShock 3 controller, and most previous games will be able to download a small update over the PSN in order to get the functionality.
