Shockaxis: More than a Dual Shock 3

Despite what Sony said about the gameflavor-dubbed shockaxis, that it was merely a dualshock 2 controller with sixaxis functionality, Equity Groups is reporting that Sony (*gasp*) lied to us.

"This doesn't appear to be the case, though, as several sources, including 1Up, have put their hands on the new controller and found the rumble actually comes from different spots."

Although, you don't have to take their word for it. 1up is reporting that in their play-through with MGS4 that the controller shook in separate places.

"We did enjoy the various rumble effects employed by the new Dual Shock 3 controller, though: As explosions rattled around Snake, we could actually feel the direction from which they were coming based on what part of the controller vibrated."

There you have it, and 1up would never lie to us now would they?
