Kaz- New PS3 controller 'more then rumble'

[Zenien]

Kikizo has an interview with Kaz Hirai up from E3. They discuss Ken Kutaragi at some length, the business generally, and more specifically, a question re. rumble in the PS3 controller, the answer to which I thought was interesting.

On rumble:

Quote:
Uh, well that's something that I know the consumers have told us they're looking to have in the PS3 controller, it's something that we're obviously looking at, now that we've reached an agreement with Immersion. We're also looking at a variety of other things that we can incorporate with the controller, and we'll come out with announcements when we think we have the right mix of features for the PS3 controller. I mean, as you know, that's also an evolving peripheral, if you will, in that we started out with the original PS1 controller with no analogue, and it's come all the way to this point, so obviously, as we go forward, it's not the final model for a PS3 controller, so we'll see what comes down the road.

OddlyI was hoping they'd figured away out to actually "feel" the bumps like you were driving in Motorstorm etc.

More motion sensitivity maybe. Or maybe something lame like a little speaker like the Wii has.

I'd gp with motion sensitivity. If you get shot from the left that part of the controller rumbles a little bit, a greande would rumble ALOT, and so on and so forth.

If you ask me, a quote that starts with "uh" doesn't seem so promising...
