In May 2005, the Xbox saw something both strange and wonderful. Later on in the year, the PC saw the same thing. It saw the release of a sci-fi trilogy that had an actual author, Orson Scott Card (writer of Ender’s Game and Empire), collaborating with the writing.

Advent Rising, a spiritual predecessor to Mass Effect developed by GlyphX Games with Majesco, was the first game of a trilogy killed before any more games in the series could have been developed.

A new mod has just been created for the PC game Crysis, by the HaptX Team, and it involves the Novint Falcon controller. The Falcon controller provides force feedback and allows players to really feel every action and attack in a game. The latest mod will make this controller compatible with Crysis, and will be released for download on October 24, 2008.

Apparently the highlight is that the Nano Suit will affect what players feel with the controller. Different modes will make the controller more or less sensitive. The controller will also allow players to feel actions – the ability to feel water resistance when swimming and impacts when falling to the ground are both mentioned in the official press release…
