  Rumble dropped from PS3 controller, replaced with motion sensors
Time: 06:54 EST/11:54 GMT | News Source: Games Industry | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim

Sony's PlayStation 3 controller, a new version of the beloved DualShock, will not include a rumble function, the company has confirmed. The device will instead feature a full motion-sensing system. The controller will sport a "six-axis sensing system" according to Sony - three for roll, pitch and yaw, and three for "3 dimension acceleration information" along the X, Y and Z axes. DualShock 2's rumble feature has been dropped, says Sony, as the vibration "interferes with information detected by the sensor". Other features of the controller include Bluetooth functionality for linking to the console itself. The L2 and R2 buttons have been enlarged, and now have "increased depth in stroke for more subtle control in games". The angle of the two joysticks has been slightly broadened.
