Gothic 3, Painkiller, and Other Popular Titles to Get Falcon Support
(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- August 26, 2008) -- Novint Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NVNT), the pioneer of 3D touch for consumer computing, and JoWooD Productions Software, a leading publisher of computer and video games, have entered into an agreement to make several of JoWooD’s most popular game titles available for the award-winning Falcon PC game controller. The agreement includes the popular action titles Painkiller, which has sold over 1.5 million units, Gothic 3, which sold over 1.2 million units, and Painkiller Overdose, Panzer Elite Action, Panzer Elite Action - Dunes of War, Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None, Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express, Agatha Christie: Evil Under the Sun, Hardy Boys, Spellforce 2, and The Guild 2 Gold.
“JoWooD is an excellent partner with high quality, compelling games that are some of the best-selling titles in Europe. Games including Painkiller, Gothic 3 and the Panzer series are ideally suited for Falcon integration and have sold in excess of 3.5 million units,” said Tom Anderson, CEO of Novint Technologies. “It is going to be incredibly powerful to play these games using the Falcon and feel a sword swing through the air to find its mark, a gun or tank shell blast, the objects in an adventure game, or the twang of a bow as an arrow is released.”
“We are very excited to offer Falcon compatibility to our customers,” said Stefan Berger, Head of Project Management and Acquisitions, JoWooD Productions Software AG. “The Falcon is an innovative game controller that will allow us to add another dimension to some of our most successful titles.”
Replacing a mouse or joystick, the Novint Falcon ($189.99 MSRP) is an entirely new type of PC controller that adds realistic 3D touch and force effects to gaming. Novint is currently taking advance reservations at www.novint.com for a special bundle which will include the new Falcon Pistol Grip, a must have FPS accessory.
