SCEA: PS3 control buttons switcheroo was a simple mistake

As promised, here’s our update on that strange SIXAXIS image that we saw from LucasArts a few days back. In case you missed that one, the image was for LucasArts’ Xbox 360 and PS3 title, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

The image in question had the d-pad oddly switching places with the left analog stick. Now SCEA, via Dave Karraker, has released an official statement regarding this picture.

Says he, SCEA has talked to LucasArts and the publisher has clarified that the image was a simple case of “bad artist rendering”, nothing more, nothing less. As of press time, they are now making the necessary corrections to the image.

So maybe the skeptics were right after all. There won’t be any new PS3 controller with rumble functions – at least not that we know of yet – but that it was only the artist’s error.
