Wii-Like Controller Coming for Left 4 Dead 2 to a PC Near You
Razer and Sixense’s new controller device will be totally compatible with Left 4 Dead 2 PC, Valve has announced.
This comes after its showing at the Worlds Largest Tech Conference, CES in Las Vegas.
The controller will give a somewhat Wii-Type feel to the game (along with other supported titles), but consists of dual-wielding peripheral rather than the Wii’s single controller.
Spong.com reports, “With this controller, Razer and Sixense have created the most immersive way to play our games,” said the game’s team leader, Chet Faliszek. “For us and for our customers, this release represents motion-enabled gaming that’s more integrated and visceral than any platform has so far achieved.”
I can seriously see myself using this on a day-to-day basis, and rest assured, when this is released over here in the UK, I’ll be most certainly writing up a review right here.
Now, Sixense…where’s mine?
Check out the video below of the controller in action.

That’s awesome!! But it’s only for the PC…..
Yeah, but I’m wondering if Microsoft’s Project Natal will support Left 4 Dead 2 for Xbox 360 in the future?
yeah, well I take back you being lazy cause you seem to interact with us more
I don’t like it. I’ll have to try it out to fully judge it but so far I’m not sure I’m liking how it looks. Maybe it’s just me. *shrugs*
The melee looks alright, but I fail to see how the gun combat is any more immersive than sitting there with a regular controller. I’m sure if they tried they could make the controls better and more wii-like (point and shoot), as they were able to with the melee weapon.
The Novint Falcon beats this by a long shot. It’s actually EXACTLY like the Wii, and it hardly supports any games..
