Sony says PS3 controllers are getting pimped, but not with rumble
Since the revelation of not including rumble with PS3’s SIXAXIS controllers, rumors have been rampant about Sony giving in and giving consumers what they want. Some of you guys may remember website Inner Bits, where game developers supposedly speak out, saying rumble-enabled controller prototypes already reached hands of developers. Sony just debunked such claims, reports PC World.
Improvements on PS3’s controllers are on-going, but there are no rumbles as of now. “We have not added rumble [to PS3], and have no announcements regarding this feature,” said Dave Karraker, Sony’s director of corporate communications.
While it’s true that developers received prototype controllers of sorts, they weren’t rumble-enabled. According to Karakker:
We recently sent out to the development community some new prototypes that have a slightly enhanced sensitivity for the analog sticks and the motion sensing within the Sixaxis controller. This is not a new controller, but is part of the normal development and evolution of controllers.
Sony likes to tinker with existing controllers for their PlayStation brand, trying to improve products for ultimate gaming satisfaction. Or so Karraker says. Here’s to hoping that even if upgraded SIXAXIS doesn’t rumble, it will rock.
