Unlike most First Person Shooters and strategy games which are best played with mouse + keyboard combo, other genres of PC games such as Third Persons, RPGs, racers, sports, etc which require lots of actions, controls, button combinations and most of all, a full swing 360° movement, doing all these using a keyboard just plain sucks for many gamers, of course that includes me.Thus, we've got to ha

Now that the Dual Shock 3 is finally here, it looks like Sony's finding creative way to dump off old SIXAXIS stock -- like tossing 'em in MGS4 PS3 bundles. Japanese PS3 buyers will be able to choose from three "Welcome Box" MGS4 bundles in Satin Silver, Ceramic White, and Clear Black, and in addition to Snake's latest adventure and a Dual Shock 3, they'll find a SIXAXIS inside. The bundles will cost ¥49,800 ($470), compared to ¥51,800 ($492) for the gunmetal gray bundle that doesn't include the extra controller, so basically Sony's giving Japanese buyers $20 to take a SIXAXIS home. That's quite a deal, but honestly, we'd rather take drop the Jackson on that super-hot gunmetal unit home than have another (obsolete) controller lying around.[Via Joystiq]Read

This is the new DualShock 3 Sony PS3 controller that will replace the SIXAXIS that had tilt but no vibration, which upset many gamers. Sony said vibration was last-gen but gamers have got their way and its back with DualShock 3.
The video below shows you a detailed look at the differences between the DualShock 3 [...]
In a blatant attempt at damage control after their new Playstation 3 title Lair tanked in the reviews at most major online and print gaming publications, Sony shipped out a completely redesigned Sixaxis controller that they claim was originally to be packaged with the game. A letter accompanying the new controller explained that they had scrapped the design, opting for the traditional Sixaxis instead in an effort to keep costs down.
The new controller is raising eyebrows in the gaming world, however. One end of the controller is a large plug that is inserted directly into the anus with the assistance of Sony Brand lubricant, and controlled through the subtle constriction and release of the sphincter muscle according to the manual Sony sent with the controllers.
Os dejamos un vídeo en el que se nos muestra cómo podremos usar el mando de nuestra PS3 a la hora de jugar a NBA Live 08. Podrá ser usado tanto en ataque como en defensa y se podrán realizar numerosos movimientos. Esperemos que los "seis ejes" de la consola de Sony den la talla y hagan del juego una experiencia nueva y diferente. Este nuevo sistema de control ha sido bautizado como Free 6 Control System.

Ich weiß echt nicht, was mit Sony da los ist?
Es war ja schon mehr als merkwürdig, dass es am Anfang immer hieß, in den Controller der PlayStation 3, könne man keine Rumblefunktion einbauen, weil aufgrund der Bewegungssensoren kein Platz mehr vorhanden sei im Controler. Nur Lustig, dass der Konkurrent Nintendo nicht nur einen sehr guten Bewegungssensor in seinen vom Volumen her, viel kleineren Wii Controler eingebaut hat, sondern dort auch noch neben der Rumblefunktion es sogar geschaft hat, auch noch einen Lautsprecher zu verbauen.
Also die Aussage von Sony zum, PS3-Sixaxis-Controler waren schon damals mehr als unglaubwürdig.
In letzter Zeit haben viele Spielehersteller hinter vorgehaltener Hand erzählt, es würde nun doch einen Sixaxis-PS3-Controler mit DualShock geben, welches sofort darauf von Sony wieder dementiert wurde.
Und nun erneut eine Bestätigung für einen derartigen Controler.
Ja was veranstaltet denn Sony da für einen Kindergardenkram?
As reported Innerbits.com, Sony is well considering, to replace a conventional controller Sixaxis update to the feature vibration. "We can absolutely accurate to say that several developers have already received new models PS3 controllers. Information on the update geympadah stubbornly hidden Sony and its partners, but the official announcement was just held in the near future. It is possible that this could happen at the Games Convention to be held in Leipzig already this month. But perhaps Sony wants to wait for the time when it will receive the strongest support from the developers. " Moreover, according to the Innerbits.com updated Sixaxis will fully replace the original model, which has sold millions of PS3 worldwide, we strongly unclear how that would be implemented. In addition, Sony reportedly finalized a system to fix Sixaxis movements, which have become more intuitive and responsive.
Leo en Next-Gen que ya hay compañías que cuentan con el SixAxis con vibración para poder implementar esa vibración en sus nuevos juegos. Si es que ya sabía yo que las palabras de Kojima no iban a caer en saco roto… Y por lo que parece, esa no será la única novedad del mando, sino que mejorará el sistema de detección de movimientos:
Sony ha mejorado la fidelidad del sensor de movimientos del mando. Los mandos originales aparentemente sufrían demasiado el efecto de la “Zona Muerta”
Venga, todos al Mercado de San Antonio a vender vuestros Six-Axis… El que consiga por uno más de 30 euros se cubre de gloria.

Segundo o Inner Bits, especializado nos bastidores da indústria de tecnologia, a Sony teria enviado para as produtoras uma versão do Sixaxis (controle do PS3) com rumble, ou seja, com a função de vibrar.
Assim, as empresas já poderiam trabalhar em seus jogos tendo essa funcionalidade em mente.
A nova edição do Sixaxis pode ser anunciada em alguns dos próximos grandes eventos de jogos, como a Games Convention alemã, que acontece esse mês, e a japonesa Tokyo Game Show, em setembro.
O novo controle também tem uma melhor sensibilidade, segundo o site. A Sony já estaria colocando nos pacotes mais recentes, uma versão do Sixaxis com esse ajuste melhorado.
Finalmente a Sony acordou, afinal, o rumble é um recurso “essencial” em um console hoje em dia…
Parece ser que Sony ya ha facilitado a las desarrolladoras la nueva versión del mando de Playstation3 SIXAXIS, este incluiría la esperada, vibración y un detector de movimiento mucho más preciso. También se especula con que el anuncio de esta nueva versión de SIXASIS sea presentada en la Games Convention de Leipzig que se celebra este mes.¿Igual el nuevo mando viene con el famoso led rojo central de la imagen?Fuente | ForosPS3Suscribete
La llegada de los nuevos mandos con vibración para Playstation3 es algo que tiene mas rumores que un corrillo de plaza mayor, ahora bien, los rumores van mas allá con este nuevo, y es que parece que Sixaxis tendrá alguna novedad mas y que traerá una nueva distribución de los sticks con una manera similar a lo que tenemos ya en Xbox360 (como podéis ver en la imagen, que dicho sea de paso, es de malísima calidad). Según la foto si nos fijamos bien también se sube el botón de PS al medio entre el select y el start.En mi opinión es una variante bastante absurda, si es que se llega a confirmar, algo así como si cambian o mejor dicho rotan la disposición del circulo, cuadrado, triangulo, aspa. A no ser... que sea necesario por el diseño interior del mando de cara a la inclusión de la vibración.En fín, ya veremos en que queda todo esto.Suscribete
Mesmo depois de várias fontes confirmarem que o Sixaxis, controle do PS3, será lançado com rumble, ou seja, com a função de vibrar, a Sony Européia não confirmou a informação, falando que são rumores.
Na quinta, dia 12, uma nota em que um funcionário da divisão americana da Sony teria confirmado o lançamento de uma versão do controle com a funcionalidade.
Durante a E3, a Immersion falou sobre o desenvolvimento de “acessórios para PlayStation”, o que também sugere um controle do PS3 com vibração. A empresa havia processado a Sony por quebra de patente e recentemente as duas companhias chegaram a um acordo.
Have you ever been sitting on the couch, playing Gears of War and thought to yourself “You know what would make this game even better? Tilt controls!” …yeah, neither have I. But, for the four of you who have always been envious of the Playstation 3’s SIXAXIS controls, there is now an answer for you.
The Tilt Board.
The Tilt Board is, essentially, the heart and soul of the Sony SIXAXIS controller, ripped from the bowels of the PS3 and given to us Xbox 360 owners in a nice, tidy package.
Now, if you think that you’ll be able to just take this out of the box and use it, well… you’re dumb as hell. The Tilt Board is for the more tech savvy 360 owners. For you see, you have to actually pop the controller open and rearrange some wiring. Suffice to say, if you screw up you’re SOL. But for those of you who DO know what the hell they’re doing, I can imagine that the Tilt Board is something that you would look in to integrating into your cu

Nosotros alucinando con el Wiisports, las Third PartiesNintendo estrujándose los sesos para idear algo realmente novedoso con el wiimote como protagonista y resulta que todo eso puede quedar desfasado en pocos meses. Concretamente en Junio de este año, que será cuando NeuroSky, una compañía dedicada a la electroencefalogría (si es que realmente existe esa palabra), muestre en la Feria del Juguete de Japón un dispositivo que sea capaz de detectar los impulsos cerebrales y utilizarlos como forma de control que podría ser utilizada en videojuegos. Que empiece el hype…
¿Ciencia ficción? Pues parece que no, y encima el precio que se baraja es muy interesante: 20 dólares.
Las aplicaciones pueden ser infinitas: Desde hacerte temblar el punto de mira en los fps si estás nervioso, como apuntan en Next-Gen, hasta controlar las emociones de los personajes sin necesidad de pulsar ni un botón (especulación personal). Eso sí, dificilmente podremos controlar directamente a los
¿Qué no puede ofrecer el sixaxis que ofrezca el wiimote? Varias cosas, entre ellas juegos específicamente diseñados para jugar con él (Wii Play, Wario Ware Smooth Moves) o apuntar directamente a la pantalla.

This will be a turn-around for the record books. But it's all fixed I tell you! All of it! But really... How can this be?Sony's SIXAXIS controller, which caused quite a stir in the gaming world, not because of it's "sheer ingenious", but because it actually sucked, has gone and landed itself an Emmy for Technology and Engineering. Sure... It takes alot to stick a label on a PS2 controller and declare it next-gen, but what were they thinking?I dunno, but it's obvious from the press coverage that Sony pulled some pretty big strings to land themselves this one. Perhaps the Press Release actually meant 'Wii Mote', not 'SIXAXIS', and 'Nintendo', not 'Sony'. It's a mistake easy enough to make... Apart from the fact one technology clearly sucks, whilst the other does not.As a Wii-user, and having tried the SIXAXIS, I can tell you which one is more deserving of an Emmy, no doubt about it. It took my mate Chris over 16 hours to drag me off Wii Sports. This whole thing is whacked up
