Victor Viegas Slams the Dualshock 3
May 17th, 2006 by Gibran Nawaz in News
Viegas, the president of Immersion, the ones who sued Sony for illegal use of their force feedback engine, criticized the PS3 controller for not having the rumble feature.
“We had a lot of employees on the floor at E3, and many of them got to get their hands on the [Playstation 3] controller,� Viegas said. “They say it felt light, that it felt cheap and flimsy, and that it lacked weight or substance. Overall, they were disappointed.�
He also spoke with some of the developers’ thoughts on the Dualshock 3:
“I’ve spoken with a lot of developers, and apparently out of the early kits they were given to work with, at least a few of them contained vibration technology,� Viegas said. “When the announcement was made that the final product wouldn’t contain that technology, they were as shocked as everyone else.�
So, what about the Wii?
“We have officially stated we have not performed full analysis on Nintendo’s product so are not in a position to comment on the technology they are using,� Viegas said, adding “we’ll take a look at those.�
