Inside source: “I saw the new PS3 controller and it rumbles”

By Danny Mendez





Inside source: Do you love your PS3 but love the classic rumble of the ol’ dual shock? Then you’d be pleased to know that after a lengthy conversation with an important industry insider, we’ve discovered Sony’s real plans for the next iteration of the PS3 controller.

As usual, the insider can’t be named, but, according to her, she witnessed a set of test controllers used at her very important game development company. When I say “very important game development company”, I’m talking about super major huge, like Nintendo huge but obviously not Nintendo.

She wouldn’t mention if she had a chance to get her hands on one, but she knows for a fact that they rumble and are heavier, although not as heavy as an Xbox 360 controller.

This is great news for anyone who’s disappointed with the current version of the controller, which lacks rumble, leaving many feeling that the controller feels too light and thus cheap.

      They do NOT rumble. The rumble feature would not allow the MOTION sensor to work properly. This is bad information!
