    In most controllers, you get rumble.  But with the Kinect feedback you get...nothing because your body is the controller!

    Didn't you hear, they're putting tazers on the sensor ports so you still get the rumble!

    No because I have a Buttkicker attached to my gaming chair and I refuse to play games standing up.

    Don't worry; they'll be selling peripheral rumble packs that you can stick in various orifices.

    Playing my GameCube WaveBird controller yesterday and I asked myself the same question. I said no, I was playing Resident Evil and the tension was still there.

    Obvious solution: 

    Special vest lets players feel video game blows
    Virtual attacks in games can translate to physical sensations with new technology.

    Quote:
    LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A US surgeon working on a "tele-health" breakthrough has devised a way for video game warriors to feel shots, stabs, slams, and hits dealt to their on-screen characters.

    A vest designed by doctor Mark Ombrellaro uses air pressure and feedback from computer games to deliver pneumatic thumps to the spots on players' torsos where they would have been struck were they actually on the battlefields.

    The "3rd Space" vest will make its US debut in November at a price of 189 dollars.It will be launched with the first-person shooter game "Call of Duty" and a custom-made title.

    "It was originally designed as a medical device," Ombrellaro told AFP while letting gamers try the vest at the E for All video game exposition in Los Angeles.

    "To give medical exams via the Internet to prisoners, the elderly, those in rural communities and other isolated people."

    Visit Yahoo!'s Exclusive CALL OF DUTY 4 Launch Central

    The medical version of the vest is more sophisticated, enabling doctors sitting at their computers to prod, poke and press patients' bodies from afar and get feedback on what they are virtually feeling, according to Ombrellaro.

    That model is pending approval by the US Food and Drug Administration, which wants to be assured that diagnosis made using the vests are reliable.

    "You can teleconference with patients but you are missing the hands-on," the vascular surgeon said. "Being able to do that is the last step to tele-health."

    A 3rd Space vest that mimics the feeling of G-forces and turning pressures for flight and car games is to be launched early next year, after Ombrellaro's company TN Games finds exciting titles to match it with.

    TN Games is based in technology giant Microsoft's home town of Redmond, Washington.

    "We've had some Microsoft people check it out," Ombrellaro said.

    While I have no intention on getting a Kinect (just doesn't look interesting to me) I would imagine the fact that you're not sitting down holding a controller, but instead performing the motions the game requires would be enough to satiate your need for physical feedback. Yes?

    If you get the proper visual feedback I don't think you need it. Take your shape fitness evolved. You see yourself in almost a 1 to 1 update. The bones turn green if you get the right move. But don't get me wrong if someone were to do a shooting game only using kinect. Then yes I would miss rumble, and I don't think it would be fun. You would need a controller to hold.

    Unless there's a super game coming for the Kinect, I'll not miss it since I simply will not buy one.

    There's going to be enough rumble from all the running/jumping shannanogans. 
     
    And besides, Jack Tretton said "rumble was a last-generation feature."

    Smashing my hands and arms in to people/things near by is enough feedback for me.

    What if you are playing a "catch" simulator.  You throw the ball...feels fine right?  The screen throws the ball back...you will feel like you're catching thin air.

    I'm still using SIXAXIS controllers on my PS3. Those have zero rumble.  
     
    But I still have no wanting of getting Kinect.

    I can't stand rumble. I never understood the appeal. I bought a rumble pack for my n64 back in the day, played with it for like an hour and took out and threw it to the side. I've been disabling rumble ever since then.
     
    Regardless I couldn't give two shits about Kinect. Especially since it's not even playable in my bedroom where my 360 is since I don't have space.
