Novint Falcon 3-Dimensional Controller to be Supported by Valve
Posted on 26 June 2008 by Erik
A number of Valve’s PC shooters will soon support Novint’s Falcon controller, part of a new agreement the companies have announced.
Serving as an alternative to the traditional mouse-based FPS control scheme, the Novint Falcon allows for ‘three-dimensional freedom of movement and tactile response.’ Support for the peripheral will be introduced in an update through Valve’s digital download platform Steam.
Games slated to support the controller include Half-Life 2 and its two following episodes, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Counter-Strike: Source and the upcoming title Left 4 Dead.
Available now at retailers for $189.99, the Falcon will also be sold as part of a bundle including the pistol grip and the Orange Box at an unspecified future date. A release date for the update has yet to be announced.
