Rumble Might Be Rudimentary, But I Still Like It (http://kotaku.com/5582214/rumble-might-be-rudimentary-but-i-still-like-it)


"The overwhelming thing we've discovered is that rumble is such a rudimentary form of haptic feedback," Kudo continues. "It's not like a little rumble in your palm is your whole way of interacting with the world — it's not like, oh, I stubbed my toe and I get a little rumble in my palm." He continues. "It's almost laughable the way people hold on to rumble as the holy grail of haptic feedback. We've gone so far past anything that can be done with rumble, or that kind of restrictive thing you have to hold. It's been creatively liberating to work on this stuff."

i like rumble. it feels weird playing a game and having there be an earthquake in the game and not feeling it at all. it's simple, but effective.
