PSM REPORTS ON SONY CONTROLLER TECH

In a recent podcast, PSM's Randy Nelson took a look at Warhawk using a Sony system and a controller with tilt technology. The kicker here is that the game was the first Warhawk for the original Playstation and the controller was a third party controller made by Pelican that was available for the PS1 back in 1999.

One thing that is very interesting to note is that not only does the Pelican controller incorporate tilt sensing, but it also used vibration motors. Guess it really isn't that hard to mix the two technologies, eh Sony? Looks like the hunch most had about the lack of vibration in the Playstation 3 controllers being more due to the legal issues with Immersion rather than any technological hurdle get another round of ammunition for their argument.

Anyway, below you'll find the aforementioned video, so check it out for yourself and be amazed at the revolutionary new 7 year old technology Sony is bringing us in the PS3. Click here to head over to YouTube to watch the video.
