List of PS3 Titles Compatible With Rumble Controller 84
Kotaku has a list of PlayStation 3 titles compatible with the new rumble-enabled controller just announced this week at TGS. Most of the upcoming high profile titles for the console are on the list, and several already-released games will apparently become compatible with a quick software update. Some highlights from the list: "The Darkness, Devil May Cry 4, Turok, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, Burnout Paradise, RAGE, METAL GEAR SOLID 4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS, Condemned, Folklore, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Resistance: Fall of Man SOCOM: Confrontation, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Warhawk"

We get it, they've changed their minds. Yes, you're oh-so-witty for pointing out how Sony's doing a quick about-face. Because, y'know, never before in history has a company realized that they made a mistake and then gone back to correct it.
Gotta love the Slashdot groupthink:
Slashbot: "HAHAHA, XYZ Company did something stupid!"
*XYZ fixes said stupid thing*
Slashbot: "XYZ is stupid for fixing their problems and not sticking to bad decisions."
Go ahead, call me a shill and mod me down, I've got balls enough to not post AC and karma to burn.

Ah, if only that was the whole story. The 'mistake' they made was they didn't want to pay licensing fees over the patent. Instead of just being upfront about that, they first claimed that their motion sensitive controller wouldn't work with Immersion's rumble technology.. When the Wii controller came out that supported motion sensing and rumble, Immersion made it public they had informed Sony about how to resolve that issue, then Sony fired back and said that rumble technology was last-gen.
Sony didn't simply make a mistake and correct it. They fought it kicking and screaming. If Sony hadn't been so negatively noisy about it, the Dual Shock 3 would barely have made the news.

I mean, they lie to us all the time, of course; that's what PR is. But if they'd said "rumble is nice, but we can't do that due to the lawsuit, sorry. Meanwhile, here's an equally interesting technology called sixaxis..." then we'd be less likely to revel in the Schadenfreude. And really, lets remember this is Sony, purveyor or rootkits and constant attempts to force proprietary formats on unwilling consumers; they've earned no sympathy.
