Kojima misses Rumble, will make do with motion-sensing

Just when we thought that we’ve heard the last of the the whole “Rumble feature rumbles out of SIXAXIS” crisis, the already-healing wounds of hundreds of gamers will be opened once again. Turns out that Hideo Kojima, the big man himself, just opened up about his thoughts on the Rumble feature and MGS 4: Guns of the Patriots‘ controls.

Guess we’re not alone on missing the Rumble feature. In an interview with the “Official PlayStation Magazine,” Kojima speaks up with:

The controls in MGS3 got a little complex, so you’ll have a little more direct control in MGS4. That said, I miss the rumble and even now I hope it will come back…. We can’t say how we’ll use the motion-sensing functionality specifically but we’ll use it for sure.

No one can tell what would eventually happen. Will they settle for the SIXAXIS‘ motion-sensing feature or will they go the extra mile and pull out a third-party Rumble feature out of their top hats?

It all depends on how they develop the game’s controls anyways. As for the by-gone Rumble feature, I for one miss it as well. And every time I think about it, I can’t help but have a flashback of how Psycho Mantis was able to telekinetically “move” my controller in MGS. Aaah, the golden age.
