Valve Adds Support for Three-dimensional Novint Falcon Controller
by Nick Breckon, Jun 23, 2009 11:48pm PDT
After announcing an agreement nearly one year ago today, Valve has updated its Orange Box games--Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, and Portal--to support Novint's Falcon three-dimensional controller. Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike: Source and Day of Defeat will also soon receive similar updates.
The $150 Novint Falcon (shown left with optional pistol grip) was released in 2006. The three-dimensional "haptic" device is operated by a small spherical grip connected to three robotic arms.
The device's motors react to in-game events, with the end result being an elaborate force-feedback system. Damage jostles the grip accordingly, while weapons have different weights and produce varying amounts of kick-back.
Check out a short demonstration of the device below:

I'm currently replaying The Orange Box (Mostly HL2 series) so timing couldn't be better.
On the other hand I also have NIko Perfect Shot for the Wii and it rocks on House of the Dead Series.

a? its diffrent
or b yous have never used it
giveit a chance, valve unlike sony arent in it for purely cash, maybe they know better how it works and what possibilitys are
the gun being an addon from demonstrationf irst person shooters only part of possibilitys(fact that it makes relistic recoil and diff weights for difrent guns is cool though )
i bet people used ot controllers when first seen the wii controller were like exactly same as all coments here
and no i dont have anything to do wiht company, just no point in shooting new stuff down then moaning about pc market not getting enough atention same time ;)

great..
sadly i thought i was one of the very few who really liked that game
I liked the game, even if there was no cake.. just a psycho robot at the end, with some bugs..
and a strange webpage address at the end that had nothing of value..
if anyone guess how to even use that webpage, please say somthin..
but you can type "help" and get a witty little saying..

is the webaddress at the end of the game that says to go to claim yr prise.. wasn't no prise at the website, obviously..
But i still liked portal.. even though i read that many ppl thought it was a game that was made without an ending..
