The Logitech iFeel was entirely worthless. It didn't feel like anything more than a little vibrating motor inside a mouse. This thing manages to do its forces and resistances well. I think the only game that picked up the iFeel at the time was Black & White.

A full degree movement controller that operates similar to a mouse... I can think of a couple really awkward to control games this would rule for.

Title: Re: The Coolest Thing At E3: The Falcon Post by: WayAbvPar on May 15, 2006, 09:36:01 AM Kinda cool, but I think I will wait for the next generation. That thing wouldn't fit on my desk! Plus, it would cover up my LtM mouse pad, which would be a shame.
