Novint Falcon Now Shipping. No Really. It is. Promise.
It’s tough to express in words what using the controller is like, but basically it’s force feedback on steroids. You can feel the effects of weight, texture, dimension and shape. Ever force your finger through Jello? Well that’s the sort of sensations you can realistically experience, but without the fun, sticky part and needing to lick your finger after. It works well with the kickback from a gun in first-person shooters, too.
The limited-edition bundle is priced at $189 and comes with a bunch of games including Newton’s Monkey Business, with 24 minigames, and the Feelin’ It: Sports Pack, with full versions of Table Tennis, Golf, Top Pin Bowling, Homerun Smashout, and 3-Point Shootout. And if you’ve completed Half Life 2, but want to “experience” it again, the Falcon works with that as well. Free standard shipping is included with a 30-day money back guarantee and a one-year product warranty.
