The Novint Falcon Megathread! - Games

[img]http://gearmedia.ign.com/gear/image/article/906/906015/novint-falcon-pistol-grip-hands-on-20080827034547587-000.jpg[/img] That's right, the Novint Falcon - cool-looking gaming-mouse-crazy-machine-thing is going to be retailing at 99 USD this weekend of Black Friday-Cyber Monday. This is the price for the Bundle, which includes the Falcon, the pistol grip, as well as Penumbra and The Orange Box, to use with it! This is probably the cheapest the Falcon has ever been, and it usually retails at $175. Now, this isn't including shipping + handling, but still, that's a pretty nifty price. I'm gonna be getting one, and since they have a 30-day money back guarantee, I don't really see why not! So, check the site this weekend and get a great deal, 'cause it's not likely this'll be repeated for... a while.

Novint struck a deal up with =eGO= so... [url]http://home.novint.com/community/phorum/read.php?4,10956[/url]

Should I get this or a logitech mx air?

This, it's epic for hl2 / other good fps games which support it, l4d2 does too.

What the hell is that? It looks like it'd take up half of my desk space.

Tempting.. too bad I don't have 100€.

halflife2.net gave away loads of these things a while ago, everyone said they're great.

I dont really understand how it works...It just looks awkward. I want to try it though.

Move pistol, pull trigger to click. I guess anyway...

Shame they are always so expensive, $99 is still a lot of money to spend on a controller with limited realistic uses.

At least a mouse I can use in all my PC applications whereas I'm not sure if the falcon can even be used as a mouse.

[QUOTE=Specter;18548997]Totally agree.

only $99? steal\1!11

maybe i'll get it. maybe not, doesn't seem right playing games on my computer without my mouse.

[QUOTE=Scottismelol;18549269]maybe i'll get it. maybe not, doesn't seem right playing games on my computer without my mouse.[/QUOTE] I've heard it's hella good. It would definately take some getting used to though.

They're usually $199 and I ordered one last week. Novint are awesome and said they'd refund the difference :D Waiting for it to arrive, but it looks an epic device. There's recoil aswell.

lol at the disagrees... What could you possibly disagree with?

This made me wait 6 hours to play each god damn Half-Life 2 episode. Fuck it.

I'd buy it just to play the Airport level in MW2, then put it on youtube and watch people cry and scream I am a terrorist.

this one is in the movie. meet dave.. :P Edit: Quote from the blog: In the movie, Dave (Eddie Murphy) is a robot ship that looks like Eddie Murphy and carries its crew to Earth on a mission to save their planet. Inside the ship (again, disguised as a person), are many tiny people including the captain (also, Eddie Murphy - i.e. the big ship looks like its tiny captain). Towards the end of the movie, some of the crew mutinies and they sneeze the Eddie Murphy captain out. In order to save their world, they have to destroy Earth, but the captain doesn't want to by that point, and he has to get back to the ship (the robot Eddie Murphy) and take back control. He manages to get back in the ship and goes to the engine room, where he enters a code, pushes a button and a panel opens up to reveal the Novint Falcon. Eddie Murphy then grabs the Falcon and pulls it out by the handle. The camera view shifts to a view of him using the Falcon to take back control of the ship (the robot body) therefore stopping the mutinied crew and saving planet earth. Not bad for a movie debut! Nothing like saving humanity in your first big screen movie :)

I think I might actually buy it.

also F-Gen drivers are due out sometime soon which will allow you to use the falcon with all games also I'm not 100% sure but I think they said it may work with normal windows aswell, I'll check that though

Or you can use a mouse like a normal person. During that eGO contest the guy with the Falcon lost against almost everyone, even the shitty people.

In the latest competition of falcon vs mouse on tf2 almost all the mouse teams lost apart from a few
