Well gamers this looks like great news for Sony fans. "In this month section of PSM in France, there have been details that have been released in reference to the new ps3 controller. None of this has been confirmed by Sony but these details came from PSM."
This sounds like Rumble folks and according to this it wont be the same as the Dualshock controller.
The features are basically new technology called "Touchsense" made by immersion. So what about the Lawsuit Microsoft sent to Sony and immersion. Sounds like MS might have made a bad move.
In this month section of PSM in France, there have been details that have been released in reference to the new ps3 controller. None of this has been confirmed by Sony but these details came from PSM.
Technical details :
- the gyroscopic functions can cohabit with the vibrations. The explanation? The speed to which a player can move the lever is quite lower at the speed of the vibrations.
- the engine of vibration could be inclu in the lever without having to modify the form of it. There is enough place for the new engine, and this one, concus by Immersion, are lighter for an obstruction equivalent.
- One indeed has to expect a reduction in the autonomy of Sixaxis. Nevertheless, the new engine of vibration does not consume more than the old models (Dualshock) in spite of the fact that it is more powerful.
- the new engine is less expensive to build, and a possible rise in price of the pad should be only very light.
- With an update of the firmware, we will be able to have the vibrations for plays PS2
Details on the “Touchsense” :
New technology, named “Touchsense” is a mini-revolution. Indeed, from now on, the vibrations will not emanate solely any more from the handles of the pad (as on Dualshock) but will be perceptible in various places of the lever. It as should be specified as they will be more powerful, more intense and over short periods if the programmers wish it. Thus, the developers will be able to create a multitude of still new effects. If Sony chooses this technology, it will thus not act of a simple return of the vibrations, but well of a very new technology
Some examples :
- This technology will be able to reproduce the fast jolt and forces caused by a shot,
- Immersion promises that one will be able to feel the asperities of the road in the plays of race (like Dirt), but also small shocks related on the shiftings of speed and even to accelerations or decelerations.

Now all we need is for Sony to confirm it ^^
Up to devs to properly use this new vibration feature though...
I know some hasnt heard of this but if you go on google and type in "Sixaxis Shock Details Unveiled ?" everything link is talking about it. Luckly i found this at QJ.net and i went to the real link, that site works wonders for me lol
I've wanted this technology for a while. I believe in a Wii controller it would be very usefull, instead of the game moving the crosshair the controller would literally replicate the recoil making it up to the player to control the recoil, it could be very usefull, I hope it's not just bound to Sony.
