Sony launches DualShock 3 and defers Home
At the gaming exhibition currently being held in Japan, the Tokyo Game Show, the company Sony Computer Entertainment in the person of its head, Katsuo Hirai (Kazuo Hirai), presented a couple of news. One, as usual, good and one - bad.
Good news relates to the official presentation of the new game controller - DualShock 3, which is still the same SIXAXIS, but with a feedback function (two vibration motors inside the case), which was in the DualShock 2 joysticks.
For a long time, Sony could not come to terms with Immersion, which is why the SIXAXIS controller, which appeared along with the PS3 console, was deprived of the vibration function. Now, apparently, the parties have settled the conflict, but Sony is still trying to convince the public that the problems with the lack of a feedback function were purely technical.
So, the DualShock 3 looks and works just like the original SIXAXIS, but it has a slightly larger mass. The appearance of the controller in Japan is expected in November, but the novelty will fall to Europe (and Russia, obviously) only next spring.
')
As for the games that support the vibrofunction DualShock 3, the list of those even at the moment is quite large and has about six dozen titles , among which are METAL GEAR SOLID 4, Devil May Cry 4, Blacksite: Area 51 and The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. It is interesting that not only new games will be supported by the new controller, but also a number of already released ones, which can be updated through the Playstation Network service.
The bad news, in turn, is related to the Home project - an analogue of Second Life, an online virtual world that will be inhabited exclusively by owners of the Playstation 3. As it became known recently, Sony postpones the launch of the project until spring 2008. Half-year delay, as explained by the head of Sony Computer Entertainment, is connected with the need for more thorough preparation of the project for launch. Simply put, the guys just do not have time to meet the deadlines.
