Posted September 7, 2006 I've never cared for rumble, that's probably bwecause I use a wavebird and have just gotten used to not having any. I'd rather have a speaker than a rumble anyday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 I've never cared for rumble, that's probably bwecause I use a wavebird and have just gotten used to not having any. I'd rather have a speaker than a rumble anyday! but i think we would all rather both, especially as rumble makes for a more immersive experience which is one of the reasons Wii will be so great, it makes you feel more conected to the game world.

Posted September 7, 2006 Wow that would suck. Let's hope it's not true. I'd pay for an extra set of batteries easily for the rumble. Don't remove it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 LOL Rumble really does add to the overall experience of the gameplay, no matter how many sony fanboys claim overwise. Rumble almost feels natural to me, turning rumble off for some games actually feels quite weird... That is very true, especially in racing games and FPS's. You barely notice in some games though...I only realised a few months ago how strongly the GC controller vibrates during Smash...I knew it rumbled but it really is quite shocking!

Posted September 7, 2006 Shigsy actually said it in a recent interview. It was on the forum I think, search a few pages for Shigsy interviews. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 I liked the way rumble was utilised in Zelda and FPS's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 It's certainly a highly plausible story, given common concerns about battery life. I've got a feeling all will become clear at the big upcomming conference. I'm just finding difficult to not believe NGamer after that whole Zelda/FHC incident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 The controller has to have rumble, if it doesn't I'll miss so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just finding difficult to not believe NGamer after that whole Zelda/FHC incident. Exactly, they don't post random rumours. The last rumour that wasn't true, and the only I can think of was in NGC 2004 when they said Mario Golf was in development for DS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 All we have to do is email he guy who did that Special IGN weekly and ask him if its true. he played on it recently, so im guessing he can confirm it. If its true i would miss a little rumble from being hit by a sword in Rest Steel, or being hit in Zelda, but im used to no rumble because of the Wavebird.

Posted September 7, 2006 Personally, I belive they SHOULD remove the rumble. Why? Well, why not use the speaker to put out very low toned noise that vibrates strongly. Sound can be used to mimmick the rumble. (But the stregnth might not be matched) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 rumble will be a plugin add-on. Will be bundled with REZ (rumours) I get bundled with a Wii-Rumble pak? News to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 I'm sorry but I'm still not believing any of it. The bit of writing in NGamer that claims this takes up about 2 square centimentres of the page. Surely rumble being removed would be bigger news than that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 Has anyone here actually seen NGamer? All I see is a link to a scan which is removed... Also, the link in the first post has no mention of NGamer mentioning no rumble... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 Oh man I sure hope they don't copy Sony on this one. I only recently started to find rumble really useful in Geist. The problem is we are so used to it we hardly notice it anymore but I'm sure I'd miss it when it's gone especially with swordfighting games (Red Steel, Zelda) some controller feedback is important. And if they want to save battery life they could always leave the option to turn speaker and rumble off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 Someone locked this topic please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 Why lock the topic? From what I can tell, this wasn't even mentioned in NGamer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 From what I can tell, this wasn't even mentioned in NGamer. Good to hear. And also Shigeru Miyamoto never said anything about rumble being removed in a previous interview. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 No it definately was, I have a copy. Its mentioned on page 15, although very discreetly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 But this now means we can't take the mick out of the PS3 not having a rumble feature.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 But it's probably not true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 Perhaps they mean something like the rumble used to be able to be variable in strength, but had to remove it when they added the mic (because too much info was getting sent to the Wiimote at once). Remember, the rumble only has one strength. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 there will be rumble.Its been showed many times unlike the ps3 controller which never showed it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
