Title: Whatever happened to that FPS controller MS was allegedly making?
Post by: Eel O'Brian on January 30, 2008, 06:45:30 PM

I remember taking an online MS survey a while back (a year ago?), and one of the questions was something along the lines of "Would you be interested in purchasing a controller specifically tailored to FPS games," and I checked the HELLS YES box.  Then I read rumors that the controller was actually in development.  So what happened?

Seriously?  That would be a disappointment.

Is a very, very fine mouse
With two weights in the side
Games used to be so hard
Now everything is easy

Was it going to be like the Frag Fx?

I wanted to get one for the PS3 but I couldn't find it anywhere.  I hate playing FPS games w/a sixaxis.
