Does anyone not give a fuck about rumble and never turn this feature on? Curious if I'm an oddity.... The only time I ever turned on the rumble on my PS3 was during that one scene on Metal Gear Solid 4 with Psycho Mantis.

I don't see why you'd have it off...

To me, it increases immersion and gives games a more visceral feeling. It also helps me know when I'm being shot at etc.

I do not find the vibration to be immersive, to me it's actually distracting and even a bit uncomfortable. Probably just grumpy old man syndrome... I've never liked rumble, not since I first tried using it on the N46 with Starfox/Lylat War.




I like DS4 more and more everytime I read about it.

It's vital in most games these days. Playing a shooter with out it would be hell.

So does this apply to the Xbox One controller too? It was rumored that Xbox had this type of feature, turns out it was PS4, but maybe both?

The Xbox One's controller has 4 motors.  One in the base of each lower corner, then one on each of the triggers.

So you feel fine tuned movements on your trigger fingers.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

How do you people play FPS games with rumble on...the vibration is just a shock to my hands and makes my aim bad. I used to play without it and then I turned it off one match in MW2. I've never went back to rumble lol. And now I hear Xbox is gonna have rumble in the triggers? Wtf I don't see the obsession with rumble.

Is that confirmed? If so the rumor I am referred to was misplaced on the Xbox One controller. Not that the X1 won't be using similar tech for the intensity, size, and low power usage but it doesn't sound like it has a multiple vibration set up. Despite the X1 having vibration in the triggers for force feedback, the programmable feedback in the DS4 will be a nice feature, though a shame they wouldn't have thrown one into the triggers along with it.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

As far as the trigger buttons having rumble motors, yes it is confirmed. Both controllers have significant improvements in their rumble features. They're just doing it in different ways. The one minor downside to what Microsoft did by adding small rumble motors in the triggers is that it made the triggers very bulky when compared to the Xbox 360 controller. It's one of the complaints I've heard in regards to how the controller feels. Again though, a minor inconvenience for the most part. From everything I've read, which controller did better in its improvements to the rumble feature will be a matter of preference. Considering the features the Dualshock 4 is loaded with along with the already great improvements to  its rumble feature, I'd say lacking rumble motors in the triggers is rather insignificant.

Didn't it always have two independent motors? Last time I 'broke' one it still had a small wobble wheel on the one side and a bigger one in the other end.



So what's different? Improved stop/start/rpm change response from the motors?

yes it did. even since PS1 days. one could even tell without opening it because it was called the DUAL shock!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
