IN CASE YOU'VE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK
The Razer Hydra is a new motion controller for PC that has support for tons of games, including Valve games (and Potato Sack games). It comes with a free copy of Portal 2, too. AND an exclusive map pack that has tons of new content such as moving portals and stretching cubes. (video below)

Mine is on its way to my house right now.
$140.
I think I'll wait and see how it's implemented in more games. Motion control is hit-or-miss with me.
[B]Edit:[/B] It says 125 games but where can I find a list?

You should link to it in the OP or something.
I hope that DLC won't be canon, cause that ability with the Portal Gun. Stretching and moving cubes is kind of crappy, in my opinion.
$140? I thought they said it'd ship for about ~$70
I hope that moving and dragging cubes wherever you want is just included in the DLC.
Think how easy you could solve the tests.

It's exclusive to the controller.
140 USD?
holy shit
[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;30493937]It's exclusive to the controller.[/QUOTE]
Yes, I know you get those special abilities when you buy the controller, I meant they only apply in the exclusive map.
When mine arrives, I'll upload a video of me playing some of the other maps.

Yeah. There's most likely a script in the map that toggles the new Portal gun abilities.
TBH, the features shown in portal 2 can be done with a regular keyboard and mouse.

IIRC, in Portal 2 you can't rotate the Redirection Cube, while it's 10 feet away from you.
It works with amnesia?
That's actually tempting enough by it self, although it is quite expensive
I wanna make a sort of interactive music visualizer with this. It's extremely accurate by the looks of things and should be perfect for that.
Maybe a boxing game with a twist.

Rhe same functionality is done in GMOD by holding the E key. Im sure its possible to do that in Portal 2 without this device.
I want to try it in Mirror's Edge. Punch a hole in my monitor to knock out a pursuit cop.
this looks dumb
Portal's Mod
Precision, immersion and control are more than enough to convince me to buy this thing.
No doubt.
[QUOTE=D3N1ZFTW;30493967]Yes, I know you get those special abilities when you buy the controller, I meant they only apply in the exclusive map.[/QUOTE]
Nope.
You can replay all the old maps with the 'portal tweaking' and '1 to 1' abilities.
[QUOTE=PersonGuy;30495817]Nope.

Wouldnt that cause glitches ?
I think it's interesting how this works compared to other motion controllers. Apparently this uses a magnetic field.
So now the portal gun is a physgun?
Holy shit, it's compatible with both Half-Lifes, [B]Team Fortress 2[/B], both Left 4 Deads, [B]GTA 4[/B], and Crysis 2.
What doesn't this thing do.

It doesn't suck your dick.
I wonder if someone could make those "Hydra-exclusive" levels work with just keyboard & mouse.

would be illegal
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;30501993]would be illegal[/QUOTE]
I don't think it would since it's already ingame
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;30502072]I don't think it would since it's already ingame[/QUOTE]
but the map comes with a product worth money

Who gives a shit? Valve doesn't, they're not the ones selling the product.
