Gamers wꦕill have forgotten all about the lack of rumble in console pads by 𓂃next year, reckons Matt Southern, producer of PlayStation 3 racer MotorStorm.

"By 2007 we'll say 'no rumble? What of it?'" Southern told Official PlayStation 2 Magazine. He ♏believes "the many positives of PS3 far outweigh the lack of rumble".

Sony took the decision to remove the r🌺umble feature, which was included with previous PlayStation controlle🦄rs, as it said the vibration would interfere with the pad's new tilt-sensing technology.

Southern's game MotorStorm, is an off-road racer in which the different ter🦋rain has an affect on the vehicles' handling and s🌞o is the type of game that might have made heavy use of a rumble function. But Southern is still certain that gamers won't miss it: "We're sure that with the huge amount of particles we can throw around on PS3 you'll know exactly what surface type you are on."

The new issue of Offi▨cial PlayStation 2 Magazine is oꦇn sale now.
