After signing a deal a year ago, Valve has finally come through and added an update that will allow Orange Box Games, such as, Half-Life 2: Episode 1 & 2, Portal and Team Fortress2, to use Novint’s Falcon three-dimensional controller.
The Valve Corporation is one of the leading entertainment software and game technology companies in the industry. Other popular games such as, Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike, and Day of Defeat Source will also be able to use the Novint Falcon 3-dimensional Controller.
The Novint Falcon was origionally released in 2006 and had a price tag of around $150. The original controller came with an optional pistol grip design that was used to manipulate three robotic arms. The new three-dimensional controller has a brand new interface for PC gamming. The Novint Falcon 3-dimensional controller will offer a force-feedback or recoil based on a variety of weapons of varying weight – giving each weapon choice a nice jolt when using it.
For game fans interested in the update, don’t for get to checkout the new pistol grip accessory too. This new grip promises to deliver a much more impressive experience.
