Seemed like a trolling lawsuit anyway. But the point is -- does this leave KP enough time to implement rumble in MGS4? Hopefully so.

Re: Sony and Immersion kiss and make up
The thing is.. will they implement it on the six axis? It will be hard to tell the market to buy another controller, but we know it is not a first.. and that it has worked for them in the past...Osiris wrote:http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_i ... tory=12960

Not a chance. When has it ever been corporate policy at Sony to admit any wrongdoing? Take a look at, say, the laptop battery incident or the rootkit fiasco. I remember a Sony executive making statements along the lines of "ordinary people don't know what a rootkit is, so why should we care to remove it?".Henry Spencer wrote:All I can say is; finally, Sony are starting to take notice of their mistakes! Good news, perhaps Sony will be less cocky now (meaning they won't fuck around with us anymore like not giving us BC in Europe??: ).
Regardless, wouldn't it be possible for them to supply a patch later on that enables rumble? I don't know what the PS3 online service works like, but I would suppose it makes it possible for content providers to supply updates.

Sony manufactured a series of laptop batteries which were used in its on laptops as well as laptops made by other companies. Later, major flaws were found in the design of these that would result in them possibly overheating and catching fire. 4.1 million batteries had to be recalled (I had to send mine in for a replacement).Snake700 wrote:What was that about?epitaph wrote:the laptop battery incident or the rootkit fiascoHenry Spencer wrote:All I can say is; finally, Sony are starting to take notice of their mistakes!

As for the rootkit fiasco, certain Sony music CDs would install a rootkit (a rootkit is, essentially, a set of tools that will allow an intruder to conceal his or her presence in a system). This rootkit was poorly written and would install drivers that could make the OS unstable and crash prone. It would also hide certain files, directories and registry keys to conceal itself from the user. As soon as the rootkit was brought into public view, people figured how to exploit this feature to hide other, possibly malicious, files on computers that already had the rootkit installed. There's more here if you're curious.

Not at the moment, no, but what says future hardware revisions can't have it? It's dubious, but possible.Snatcher wrote:The controller doesn't have the hardware, so in short: no, it is not possible.epitaph wrote:Regardless, wouldn't it be possible for them to supply a patch later on that enables rumble?
