New SIXAXIS Revealed?

July 15th, 2007 by Gibran Nawaz in Gear, Hardware, PlayStation 3, Rumor

Quite visible on the LucasArts website, an image is present portraying a different type of PS3 controller that isn’t exactly what we’re used to. This could be a leaked preview of the new SIXAXIS to be revealed sometime later. The main difference that is immediately noticeable is that the D-Pad has been switched with the left side of the analog stick.

It is hard to say if the controller is real; there was no official announcement from SCEA. Although, there have been rumors about a new version of the SIXAXIS to include force feedback. This could just be the new design of that rumble controller. What sets this aside from other controller mock-ups is that this specific image was found on a major video game developer and publisher’s website. There has been no response from Sony as of yet.

Update: It’s fake.
