Shockaxis?

[Gavin001]

Check this out, a new video posted on IGN about HAZE and the behind the scenes with the dev's u see a mystery blurred out pad.....u can see the normal ps3 pad but there is also a secret blurred out black pad and its started big rumors about the 'ShockAxis'

Source

some people are sayin over at neogaf the dev there is adding sensitively its seating at his left arm and it seems to show the pad shake when the game character gets attacked....

Gona get an e3 announcement about it?

Um, isn't he just knocking it with his arm by accident?

[Bawx]

This might be the dumbest topic ever. I tiny black blurred spot. No one on earth could even begin to guess what it might be. It's blurred.

My guess, it's a pack of bubblegum painted black that was used earlier that day in a street hockey game.

I can't see what we're on about. Aren't those headphones? :huh:

[gigapixels Veteran]

The thing at his left arm is a pair of studio headphones that are getting moved by his arm.

[Gavin001]

you guys dont know ur left from ur right.....

[Harlem39s Finest]

wtf ?!

Look at the left arm instead of the right. A blurred out black object does in fact appear to move in its own.

[Gavin001]

also apparently at this point of the video u......

'if you listen to the video at this point you can hear a slight rumble sound..'

I just passing on information lol! But i sorta believe it could be the rumble ps3 pad!

[gigapixels Veteran]

Ah, LOL, whoops. I didn't notice it because it's blurred out :laugh:

But why would it move so much? I've never seen a rumble controller move so much.

[Gavin001]

really? hav u ever put a dual shock on to a wood table? it goes crazy! i tryin to get the vid now and see if i can hear this 'rumble' sound!

Yeah, the way it moves is very odd. This must some crazy ass amount of rumble to send it flying across a desk.

[Gavin001]

it cud be just the way they did the blur cause he brings his arm thru the blur! Cause this video is from before the Ubi Days which was when? May? Could Dev's hav had it for this long? Its just wierd how they can show all the other pads but this pad for some reason is blurred cause in the right there is a sixasix!

EDIT--------

Just watched the video, no rumble noise is heard wat so ever all u hear is him placing the pad on the table!

[sundayx Veteran]

Wow that thing moves! Oh wait thats the dev...

[Ironman273]

Well, is it the "thing" that's moving or is it the blur? You really can't tell. It is moving a bit too quick to be rumble.

[Gavin001]

Another quote from Neoqaf...

'If anyone here has OS X (sorry, I don't know the equivalent program in Windows), open the .gif in Preview.

You can view every frame in the drawer. You can quite clearly see that the controller is moving of its own accord beginning in frames 9 and 10. As the developer reaches up and towards the keyboard, the controller is already moving towards his arm.'

Which thing are you guys even talking about, the thing that touches his arm are clearly headphones/headset. Dude... just forget it.

[Tech Star]

I still don't see it.

Did u even read the topic? First i said its blurred out.....the headphones are not blurred out.....secondly i said it was at his left arm, the headphones are at his right arm....

[sundayx Veteran]

Ohhhh that cloud thing, my bad.

[planetik]

I'm having more fun looking at that hand that pops up in the right side :p

[Danrarbc]

What are you guys talking about, it's just some soot sprites :p

[magik]

It's definitely coming, no doubt...

[Huleboeren]

Interesting :shiftyninja:

[AlphaPrime]

For people who can't see it, look at the bottom of the GIF, just off center is a blurred out controller. You're not looking at his right arm which hits the headphones, you're looking at his left arm which is the arm closer to the bottom. After he has put down the controller, his hand goes towards the keyboard. During this time, the controller seems to move on it's own, at the same time the guy is getting hit on screen.

Edit: If you look closely you can see a cord dropping from the table at the bottom centre. It could be a USB cable for charging the PS3 controller. Anyway, when his arm goes onto the table, it seems to pull the cord a bit, possibly causing the controller to move around if it's connected. So maybe no rumble. Still doesn't explain why they would blur it out though, but yeah.
