Yet another PC game has been added to the growing list of titles that support the unique Novint Falcon controller. This time it's for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, the multiplayer shooter released a year ago from Splash Damage, id Software and Activision. The free mod will be provided by the HaptX team.

The mod will be made available to download on Nov. 21 and will allow the player to feel the recoils of weapons and the feel of driving the various vehicles in the game. This mod also has support for HaptX's Force Balancing System which they claim "...allows for stronger recoils with less camera shakes. This allows the player to experience even more intense action without ever losing aim."

Who the in heck would use this device. I spotted one at Fry's Electronics and was unimpressed how this device was made.

Also the thing was expensive too.

Migraine, don't knock it until you have had time to try it out.

Lets face it, video games have been stagnant for the past decade.. the only improvement have been higher resolutions and increased graphics detail.

We should be welcoming new levels of immersion, otherwise, we will just have pretty looking video games that grow stale because we've "seen it" or "played it" a billion times before the same way.

I'm looking forward to this device being sold on a large scale.. Probably helps they are getting support from large publishers now.Posted at 10:13AM on Nov 25th 2008 by Corey
