Sony announces DualShock 3, list of compatible games
Just yesterday, we reported on the buzz surrounding the mysterious PlayStation 3 controller discovered at EA’s pre-Tokyo Game Show press event. We expected more info from Kaz Hirai’s keynote and well, now we have confirmation. Yes, DualShock 3.
SCE’s president has confirmed what we have all been waiting for: SIXAXIS with Rumble (QJ blogger Chris L. would have been so happy). According to the press release, the third incarnation of the DualShock controller will be unleashed upon Japan as a separate accessory this November while North America and UK will have to wait until spring of 2008.
DualShock 3 will be mixing the motion sensitive SIXAXIS functions with the well loved rumble feature. It promises to bring a more immersive gameplay experience – force feedback, anyone? Also, another good thing about the said controller is that it can be made compatible with old (or already released) PS3 games. Quoting Sony‘s PR, “PS3 titles that are already in the market may become compatible with the rumble feature through software update”.
We got a hold of the list of games incorporating compatibility with the DualShock 3 and let us tell you, we’re all stopping ourselves from being reduced to giddy little girls. The list by the way has some released games on it and as we said, they’ll be compatible with the controller via a software update. Here’s the list (as of September 20, 2007):
