Video Description

Checking out the 2007 Novint Technologies Falcon on LGR Oddware! A combination of haptics and force feedback providing up to 2 pounds of force for everything from recoil, to impacts, to caressing balls. A fascinating input device that never got the userbase it arguably deserved. ● Become an LGR YouTube member to see videos early and more! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLx053rWZxCiYWsBETgdKrQ/join ● LGR elsewhere online: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Background music licensed from: https://www.epidemicsound.com 00:00 An Oddware Introduction 00:33 The Novint Falcon 01:45 Novint Technologies 03:48 What happened 06:22 Controller and grips 09:54 Setup and testing 11:39 Ball demo 15:28 Bundled minigames 24:49 F-Gen Manager 28:09 Half-Life 2 31:58 Portal 34:14 Scripts & Crysis 2 36:32 Mouse passthrough 38:11 It deserved better #LGR #retro #gaming #controller #oddware
