REvolve: A new type of controller

The REvolve is a controller with a slight difference, instead of the R analogue stick, it has been replaced with a trackball! Pretty cool huh.

The controller, is actually an improvement from it’s predece…… predeces…… Daddy. By making a big leap and changing it into the wireless generation, which is a big deal nowadays.

I remember seeing a supposed controller design for the Steambox with two of those tracking spheres instead of one. Seems interesting, but it would probably take a lot of getting used to.

oh ..so steam box have 2 of them... oohk now i get it why they dont feel a kick.

I think what he's talking about is more similar to the PS3 Move. They use two wands that work off of electromagnetism instead of a camera.

This is what the consoles should be offering as an alternative but oh well. I know the DS4 will have a touchpad but nothing compares to the accuracy of a trackball (even more precise than mice); it's the only thing the Pippin got somewhat right.

I had been following this controller; I just hope they work out the drivers and the buttons get mapped properly into a game such Dust 514 to try out for the hell of it (the PS3 can even recognize as a controller what's in the attached image).

This could go either way.either its really accurate and good or not.the trackball might make it hard to snap all the way to the side of the screen tho depends on the sensitivity i guess.you could always just go get a mouse and keyboard that works with ps3,there kinda rare to find in a store but they exist.

Veni Vidi Vici4037d ago

Just about any M+KB will work with the PS3. The issue is whether the game will support it. The only game I know that supported it was Unreal Tournament 3.

imahustla194037d ago

Yea but there's a few out there that let you use the mouse n keyboard on n e shooter.i saw 1 on a best buy Clerence rack a while back, said works with back ops(the first 1)

Veni Vidi Vici4037d ago

I think what you saw was one of those Eagle Eye converters or something similar. Those aren't the same. They use a translator and those are usually not very good. I've tried them. There's always some sort of lag or something that doesn't feel right.

What I was talking about is the PS3 will allow you to plug a mouse and KB into the USB ports on the front of the PS3 but that's only good if the game you play is formatted for that. Like I said, the only game that I know of that will allow the use of a M+KB is UT3. There might be others but I don't know of them. The game has to be programmed with that function in it or it won't let you use a M+KB through the PS3.

This could, if supported well and implemented properly give some players (if they invested enough time learning it) a competitive advantage.

I wish there were more weird controller designs like this.

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai8h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken7h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken4h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop1h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer1h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz14947m ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos13m ago(Edited 12m ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
