The Official Novint Falcon Thread - Christmas Sale on NOW! - Games

[QUOTE=Orkel;26413894]Browsing windows seems easier to me with a mouse, I only use my falcon for gaming. [/QUOTE] I personally thought the same thing, but since I develop with the Falcon, I was tired of switching back and forth from the Falcon to the mouse. Therefore, I committed myself to using the Falcon in Windows and, although it was a bit tough at first, I now prefer it to the mouse. I think it's all just a matter of what you get used to more than anything else.

[QUOTE=Raneman;26415131]If you made a deal with the STALKER guys, it would be the perfect game series for the Falcon. From being sucked up by a Whirligig, to having your gun knocked out of your hands by a snork, or having your spine nearly smashed by a supersonic radiator, there are so many unique sensations in the Zone that it would indeed be the perfect Falcon game.[/QUOTE] Or getting drunk and fighting everyone at the bar. :v: I would suggest Red Faction Gorilla. All the destruction in that game would be awesome with this.

STALKER with the Falcon would be madly awesome.

I wonder... would a steering wheel grip work?

[QUOTE=Thorny;26425308]STALKER with the Falcon would be madly awesome.[/QUOTE] I say this every thread: Metro 2033.

Yeah Metro would kick ass.

Can anyone give a real review for this, not being "OMG THES IS THE BESTEST THING EVER!!!!!!!" Actual pros and cons would be nice

[QUOTE=Llamaboy9;26426816]I wonder... would a steering wheel grip work?[/QUOTE] This is the next grip in line that we will be releasing =) No ETA yet, but it's been in the works for some time.

[QUOTE=koeniginator;26428367]Can anyone give a real review for this, not being "OMG THES IS THE BESTEST THING EVER!!!!!!!" Actual pros and cons would be nice[/QUOTE] Pros: Best thing ever Cons: Shipping

[QUOTE=koeniginator;26428367]Can anyone give a real review for this, not being "OMG THES IS THE BESTEST THING EVER!!!!!!!" Actual pros and cons would be nice[/QUOTE] Pros: An incredible device, makes games more realistic with the forces and is easier to aim with. Cons: Shipping, not all games supported (however there's a great community and they're working with the developers to create drivers for games)

[QUOTE=koeniginator;26428367]Can anyone give a real review for this, not being "OMG THES IS THE BESTEST THING EVER!!!!!!!" Actual pros and cons would be nice[/QUOTE] Youtube has many of them, search up.

[QUOTE=johntnovint;26428981]This is the next grip in line that we will be releasing =) No ETA yet, but it's been in the works for some time.[/QUOTE] Well I know that I'm getting a Falcon now. If only I didn't spend all of my money on gifts for family :/

[QUOTE=Llamaboy9;26466880]Well I know that I'm getting a Falcon now. If only I didn't spend all of my money on gifts for family :/[/QUOTE] Awesome news mate, hope you get it soon. For everyone else, don't forget to join the [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/NovintFalconers]Novint Falcon Steam Group[/url] once you have your falcons!

Updated the OP to reflect the new sale Novint is putting on! 35% off the Falcon Bundle (or regular Falcon) for Christmas, using the code in the OP! Valid until December 15th, last orders for international delivery TOMORROW!

I'm a Falconer. It's been a while since I've used mine cause all I play these days is Minecraft. Also, I broke my pistol grip. What is the deal with this second generation pistol grip ? Any news on that ?

Add me to the list of cool kids with falcons. [editline]12th December 2010[/editline] I remember way back when we had that promotional coupon for FP, that guy said he would raffle off the falcon he got but then ran away with it.

So I randomly received the pistol grip in the mail a few days ago despite never ordering it. Was there a reason for this, something to do with Christmas perhaps? Also, Thorny, you could add me to the list of Falcon owners.

I've had one since around last year or so,add me to the list please

I heard somewhere that with the Falcon you can do figure 8s while charging with the Charging Targe in TF2. Is this true or have they fixed it?

[QUOTE=EFG;26661710]I heard somewhere that with the Falcon you can do figure 8s while charging with the Charging Targe in TF2. Is this true or have they fixed it?[/QUOTE] This is true, you can go any direction you want unlike with the mouse, you can choose which way you go and don't have to go straight. Really useful when chasing a scout around a corner :)

[QUOTE=EFG;26661710]I heard somewhere that with the Falcon you can do figure 8s while charging with the Charging Targe in TF2. Is this true or have they fixed it?[/QUOTE] Yes, can also do that with a controller.

Okay, I'm gonna add my thoughts, and they seem to go against what you all think so bear with me. I honestly never use the damn thing. I bought it last Christmas season, and never found a practical use for it. 1., it took up too much desk space. 2. I am left handed, but can use a right handed mouse find. But using my right hand as a pistol grip just didn't work. My arm got tired really fast. 3. I couldn't control stuff for shit. I mean it's a cool toy, but don't expect to use it that much, especially if you're left handed... Dunno, I guess some people really like it. I will say it's really well made.

Do they ship to Denmark? I wont buy it since i dont have the money right now but if i might do it.

I've had a novint for a long while, add me to the list also I seriously need to start using this thing more

I don't use it all that often, but that's because I don't play games that use it all that often. Whenever I play DoD:S or TF2 or anything though, I would take the Falcon over a conventional mouse any day of the week, it's so much more immersive and fun.

I've added you fine people who asked, to the list in the OP.

Only now realized that there's falcon drivers for killing floor. Must test asap. [editline]15th December 2010[/editline] ffffffffff they are outdated

[QUOTE=Orkel;26718162]Only now realized that there's falcon drivers for killing floor. Must test asap. [editline]15th December 2010[/editline] ffffffffff they are outdated[/QUOTE] One thing I discovered with the falcon community is that if the drivers are outdated, it's usually a short matter of time before they update it.

I'll ask again, I read about a new pistol grip. Info ? Where can I purchase it ? I didn't see it on the site.
