No Ninja Gaiden Sigma?



Does that mean that the controller won't work for it at all, or the rumble feature just won't work?

I knew I was waiting to get a second controller for a reason.

Oh yeah. They're too god-damned expensive. That's why.

So when did it become ok for controllers to be this ****ing expensive, anyways? It's like paying to buy another GAME for chirstsake.

it's the wireless functions.

Force Feedback has become the 'norm' to me after 1998 since Star Fox 64 and Resident Evil 2 Dual Shock that I feel completely awkward playing a game without it. I'm glad they got over that legal bull honkey because playing MGS4 without rumble wouldn't feel right.

there was no legal anything in their way. Sony just didnt want to pay immersion to use their technology. the legal action was just to make them stop using it without paying.

MGS was the first game I played to really use rumble to great effect. The heart attack scene is nothing without the rumble. Not to mention that part in Raven's stage when you feel Snake's heartbeat. And Psycho Mantis' telekinesis.

Metal Gear FTW.
Too bad i have a 360...

The PS3 and it's accesories are wayyy to expensive for my taste.

And in response to everyone shouting APRIL FOOLS. You really think that I'm that niave? Or do you think that I was trying to pull one over on you the DAY AFTER?

I wonder if I'm the only one who gets headaches and handcraps from playing my DS for more than an hour.

You're a bit liberal with them as well. :3

If they'd bring that tv recording option stateside that'd probably push PS3 over 360 on my wishlist. That's the only video entertainment function it's missing (assuming the video marketplace on PSN launches without a hitch).

So, wait, the PS3 controller is $5 more than the 360 wireless controllers, and you say it is too expensive? Even though for the 360 you have to buy batteries, or battery packs and chargers, pay to play online, the dvd remotes are the same or more expensive than the blu-ray remote.

Hmmm, am i missing how the PS3 accessories are more expensive? I understand the PS3 being about $100 more than a decent 360, but...the rest, i dont see it.

What about the award the Sixaxis controller won for innovation? So much for that.

Re: sixaxis discontinued, dualshock 3 out next week

Don't forget, a Wiimote + Nunchuck is $10 more than a 360 controller and $5 more than a DualShock 3. And it uses AA batteries too.
