Hey all, I just made a new video showing the Falcon in Team Fortress 2, made in part to answer the question if the Falcon can be used in online play.

please have a look ;)

Cool video! I had my friend over today and he saw the Falcon in my room! I showed him how it works and he played a little TF2 with it. He was amazing and said it was cool!

We both just wish it was available for CoD4!
 
Sweet vid, heck of a lot better than I am w/ the Falcon haha. Someday!
 
Interesting, I can see you have had practice with the device. It would take alot of getting used to, Id love to try one some day xD

BTW thats a great choice of map to demo the Falcon on. Why? It has a Lucky Star billboard in it.
 
Hey Altec, the F-Gen drivers (drivers that make the Falcon work with all games) are coming along nicely, and COD4 is at the top of the list for F-Gen support for enhanced forces.

Nice duality and beta :) you guys should join us on our Falcon play nights in TF2 on wednesday nights. We start at 8:00 MST on the EGO server, 208.43.203.94:27015

Sounds fun, I'll try to make it if I get my paper done in time.
 
Man can't wait to have some extra cash lying around to pic one up.

On another note. Is this sweet piece of hardware ever going to hit store shelf. Or is it going to be online purchase only?

Yeah i want to pick one of these up at best buy.
 
Def looks cool.. ill prolly get one eventually.. and it would be awesome to cod ..

Nice job Tom def an awesome piece of hardware
 
Yet another reason why PC gaming is far superior to consoles.
Im still flip flopping on getting one.

It looks like a ton of fun, but im not sure if it would last in the long run (I buy new things alot and end up just going back to the old when the dazzle wares off)
Ill keep mawling it over.

Must say though, this video helped alot in favor of the falcon. Id been wanting to see it "in-action" because i couldnt get this vision of me knocking stuff over, slinging the falcon grip all over the place to look left/right in-game.
Its good to know you dont have to make really wide movements.
 
How much are the novint falcons? I think its $100's im not sure so thats like $101 aus. So when I have the money I'm sure I shall buy 1.
 
The falcon looks amazing! Ive always wanted one since the first time i saw them. I think they are amazing! Shame im only 14 and i dont have $100 to spend :(

Btw, i showed a picture to my I.T teacher and he was like what the hell is that, lol
 
right on guys. we plan to get into retail stores eventually. Chase, a lot of our customers say that they won't go back to the old way of playing with a mouse, and with our upcoming F-Gen drivers it could be a permanent switch. I can't imagine playing games myself with the mouse now. I definitely understand where you're coming from. One thing for you and everyone - if you want to try the Falcon, we have a 30 day money back guarantee, and we aren't sticklers on the timeframe - you can take more time if you want.

let me know if there are any questions. We'll be getting a sale going soon (within a week or two, I believe), so you should wait until we have that before buying, I would suggest if you're looking to get one ;)

I am an avid CoD player, so I am looking forward to these F-Gen drivers. Will they cost money or are they a free download?
 
F-Gen will always have a free version. We're exploring an option to have inexpensive higher fidelity versions where we put in extra work (which can be a large expense) to make the game that much better. I think this approach will be best for everyone as it will overall raise the quality level for games, for those who want that extra fidelity. As I say, though, there will always be a free version that works with each game. There never will be a situation where you have to pay and there isn't an option for the free version.
