Novint Falcon Force Feedback Controller Gets Valve Support

5:40AM Jason Chen | The long-in-development force-feedback PC game device Novint Falcon is a good idea in theory, but without actual support from games there’s not a whole lot you can do with it. Good news though, since Valve just announced support with the controller for PC versions of The Orange Box, Counter-Strike: Source, the Half-Life 2 series, Team Fortress 2, Portal and Left 4 Dead. With the pistol grip accessory it’ll be fine for every game, but what we really have hopes for is fiddling around with that gravity gun and feeling the force feedback with it.

Trakonya Mutator Force Feedback Device Makes You Pay for Bad Gaming Skills

The device only functions with Unreal Tournament for now, but wider support is in the pipe works; next stop? Half Life—nice. We can think of a ton of games this type of self inflicted punishment would work well with, but for IS$59, we’re going to need wider support than just Unreal Tournament out of the box. Still, couple this with the 3rd Space Vest and you’ll be sure to end each gaming session with a flurry of bruises and fond memories. Bliss. [Product Page via Everything USB] More »
