SIXAXIS out, DualShock 3 in, plus list of compatible games

If you missed the rumbling on your old PlayStation games, next week is the week when the sad longing comes to an end. The new DualShock 3 is good to go, and it’ll allow you to shake and bake with blasts like Devil May Cry 4. We’ve got the list of compatible titles, plus word on the fate of SIXAXIS. Hit the jump and find out more.

It’s no secret that Sony‘s new DualShock 3 controller will be on sale next week, marking the return of rumble functionality to Sony consoles. While this is a nice thing indeed, some are wondering what will happen to the old SIXAXIS pads.

A Sony rep said that the old controllers will no longer be available after store stocks have sold out completely. Estimates suggest that the summer of 2008 could see the last of these babies.

Now, the only thing to be answered is which titles will the DualShock 3 be compatible with? A lot of them, apparently. Some of which will be immediately able to utilize rumbling, while others will require software updates via PSN. In any case, here’s the list:

• Formula One Championship Edition* (PS3)
• MotorStorm* (PS3)
• PAIN (PSN)
• High Velocity Bowling (PSN)
• MLB 08: The Show (PS3)
• Uncharted: DrakeÂ’s Fortune (PS3)
• Resistance: Fall of Man* (PS3)
• Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3)
• Go! Sports Ski* (PSN)
• Folklore* (PS3)

The “*” signifies that the title will receive an update that will make it compatible with the DualShock 3.
