Rumble returns to Sixaxis
Rumble feedback is set to return to the controller for Sony's PlayStation 3 console, according to reports. Originally a popular feature of the PlayStation 2's Dual Shock gamepad, it was taken out for the PS3's Sixaxis, due to legal threats from technology supplier Immersion. That case was settled earlier this year however, paving the way for future partnership.
A rumble-ready Sixaxis is said to already be on display at this week's Tokyo Game Show, and supported in the upcoming racing title Burnout Paradise. PS3 owners can already use earlier PlayStation controllers for rumble in PS1 and PS2 games, so long as the games themselves include this support. This was introduced with a PS3 firmware update in April. [via IGN]
