PC's had a rumble mouse i think, just it never caught on...

That's because the first thing anyone does that wants to be serious about competing in an online shooter is to turn rumble off when possible.

It interferes with aiming.

Spoiler

That's not a justification for the lack of rumble, though.

Rumble is the only good thing about not playing on a mouse/keyboard. That and analogue triggers.

Cheddar Gorge huh? Any GAFers live around there, or have been there?

[Wollan]

Wow that is interesting. But what about Tunguska? I wonder what direction the story will take.

 

[mckmas8808]

Why did you bring up Cheddar Gorge ?

Well, that's the name of that massive vehicle combat area 1up talked about in the preview, isn't it?

 

[artful_dodger]

Yep, even though "Shattered Gorge" sounds cool, it was a misprint of Cheddar Gorge which is an actual site in the UK and the game.

it's a sad sad fact of many PC gamers that they will turn off things that make the games more immersive in order to get 'an edge' and be more competitive'.

you know, lets turn off all the lighting and make it really fish eyed. lets turn off any pain effects. lets use low res textures so the game loads quicker and you get in the level first... etc etc.

I'm a console gamer and I always turn rumble off on FPS, and Fighters.

 

[Kittonwy]

Wow those are some next-gen explosions. I think the Chimeras look so much better now, really awesome.

Looks like they've fixed nearly everything...

...except the ground textures

Actually after watching the co-op alley battle at 1UP again, I think there's subtle bump-mapping on the ground, but it's difficult to notice in screenshots.

 

[RavenFox]

If you want to troll something at least you could point out the filthy lack of anisotropic filtering.

Once again: Insomniac, stop aiming for 1080p and put some nice AF instead. Don't be retarded.

the game shifts to a grassy wide open outdoor area with stone vistas in the distance and mountains all around -- somewhat like the outdoor areas in GUN but with a supremely impressive draw distance and a shocking sense of scale

Try again. Also those shots do not have anything of view to judge proper AF.

look at the gamevideos vid when he zooms in with the scope. bumpmapping galore.

 

[Raistlin]

Looks better than earlier shots. But still, that doesn't say a whole lot. "Looks great in motion..." yeah, yeah, yeah. Just call me jaded. Between this game and downgraded Gears shots, next gen is a dissapointment to me.

Gears has been downgraded?

Link?

I don't see what's "sad" about any of that. It depends on the game, see. A competitive environment fuels the need to stay competitive, and part of this can be gained from customizing the settings of the game. You don't want to include an element of chance in a competitive environment, and a vibrating control device adds just that. Now for the example at hand, I've honestly never once wished I had rumble while playing an FPS on PC. It's a nice addition to certain console games, but it's certainly no dealbreaker.

link plz. after all i was bashing the 'invisible' bump/normal mapping in this game.

I am loving the 'rumble is for newbs' spin. Quite good. :lol

Yeah lawl isn't it though lol

It seems that the official website will be updated this weekend.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Yeah lawl isn't it though lol

Health regenration is for newbs too.


Bald aliens on the other hand, HAWT!

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Right. So, anyway... no one's been to Cheddar Gorge, eh?

 

[Semjaza Azazel]

I've barely kept up on the game, but it is looking good. It's definitely something I would pick up when I am able to get a PS3.

As for GoW, it's still kind of up in the air if it was downgraded, those are earlier shots, a build with less effects, etc. I mean, no one really can say at this point. We'll see when it comes out, I guess.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Hawt...FoM GET!

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

What happened to Gears of War, and how is it relevant to this thread?

 

[Aisenherz]

I fear this game will lack the oomph due to a lack of rumble in the PS3 controller. I was watching the 1up show and that's all I could think of, how a lack of rumble might make this suck.

What is so funny? I think the most desired PS3 titles right now, warhawk, resistance, and ridge racer 7 are the ones that get hurt the most by the lack of rumble. Especially warhawk, as you are simulating the aircraft with the controller. It would add a lot of realism if the controller reacted when the ship is hit by enemy fire.

:lol :lol :lol Bullshit total
