New PS3 Firmware Brings Back Rumble... Almost
With the release of Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction DualShock is finally returning to the PlayStation family following Sony's legal disputes with Immersion. Although the firmware is not available for download yet (it's only included with the Ratchet and Clank game at present) version 1.94 gives games the ability to a vibration signal to controllers. The downside is that the DualShock 3 controller won't actually be available until next spring, so gamers will still have a fair wait, although the new hardware should be released in Japan during November if you'd like to import one. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Assassin's Creed are also set to feature rumble before the DualShock 3 controllers are released, and current games like Resistance: Fall of Man and MotorStorm should receive downloadable patches to enable rumble.
