SplitFish answers Sony: I thought we were friends
When SplitFish GameWare announced the other day that they’re integrating force feedback into SIXAXIS, SCEA‘s Dave Karakker answered immediately that no one in SCEA has been in touch with SplitWare.
Anyway, to avoid further confusion, SplitWare’s President Ken Tetterington released some statements regarding the matter. He clarified that the company actually has a very amiable relationship with Sony. And then the official explained:
We have met recently and continue discussions with Sony Computer Entertainment of America specifically related to SplitFish’s upcoming PS3 gaming technology portfolio. However, SCEA have not, as they have stated, yet seen our very recent force feedback technology.
Tetterington added that SplitFish is willing to work with Sony to provide a win-win solution for PS3 owners. We’re not certain what’s up with third party accessories developers. It was just yesterday when Dragon Electronics mentioned that it will be releasing its own controller with a force feedback feature.
Maybe they remember Hideo Kojima’s words back in November and they couldn’t help but agree.
