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."

A few weeks ago, developer Frictional Games released Penumbra: Requiem, an expansion pack and final chapter in their Penumbra first person action-adventure series. Now comes word that a version of the game will be released that will support the special force feedback features found in the Novint Falcon PC game controller.

Using the HaptX technology, the special version of Penumbra: Requiem will enable users of the Novint Falcon to "feel" aspects of the game that they would be able to before. The two previous Penumbra games also had special HaptX-supported versions. The HaptX version of Penumbra: Requiem, published by Paradox Interactive, is scheduled to be released sometime in December.
