Revolutionary new controller for the PC? (with poll)

Novient Falcon

It got a 9.0 from ign.com

This thing looks like it could be promising. With this and the Wii controllers, making more people will be looking for ways to improve upon controllers.

Some people that have responded have said that there are other attachments for it like a pistol grip.

This is the controller that all the sheep thought the Nintendo Wii (Revolution) was getting. That and Nintendo ON.

I miss those days.

It's huge...

It looks like it's awkward to hold...

It doesn't replicate life and fails at immersion...

Keep the mouse and leave the third dimension out of it unless you can find a way to do it better...

Looks... interesting. It's basically a delta robot, it seems. Kudos to Novint for finding it a good use beyond packing small stuff.

I'm not sold on it at $239, though the concept is great.

$239 for what most pc ppl will see as a mouse replacement. I don't see it catching on and i don't see good software support for it. it'll got the way of the MS sidewinder did in 98.

wtf is it? Looks like a portable Portal gun... lolmastarifla

We already have motion sensing with percision accuracy and we've had it since the beginning of gaming (the mouse).

The Mouse is 2D though. It only senses two axes of freedom. In theory, a 3D controller would be more appropriate for 3D games and applications.

this would be under haptics right? so what basically this thing give the user the sense of what there doing in the game. also i dont see this being mainstream, like look at how hes playing half-life, his arm would be dead in 30 min maybe even soonerSunLord592

Well, according to you it does its job. Wouldn't your arm be tired if you did all that the character was doing?

It looks like it's awkward to hold...

It's got interchangable grips, including a pistol grip.

It probably won't have a chance, I doubt many developers will pick it up.
