The Force Was Not Strong With This Rumor

Posted in Controllers, Games, PS3 by Chetz on July 17th, 2007

fake PS3 controller from LucasArtsImages of what appears to be a new design of Sony’s PlayStation 3 Sixaxis controller appears on Yahoo’s official site for “The Force Unleashed”, LucasArts upcoming next gen game that lets you kick much good guy ass as an apprentice of Darth Vader. The talkback sections on gaming sites exploded with readers commenting on what it could mean; did someone at LucasArts accidentally leak a forthcoming design for the PS3 controller? Further compounding the mystery the image of the strange PS3 controller then vanished from the original site. Did Sony ask LucasArts to remove the design?

It now looks like that the PS3 controller image was in fact a fan-made mock-up of a PS3 controller from a couple of years ago posted on a gaming forum. What may have happened was the web designer for the “Force Unleashed” page grabbed the bogus PS3 image from a Google search and used it for their site, never knowing what sort of controversy was waiting to explode.
