I am looking forward to getting more info about it. But I will probably be getting one. I don't have a joystick and throttle yet. I have been looking at some sets and as long as it is under $300. I will probably get it. Also I surprised at all the negative comments. I remember reading in the forums many people wanting a mechwarrior joystick. And now here it is. But I guess haters gone hate.

It would be enough for me when we can export the radar screen to another monitor.
I could use my Thrustmaster Warthog and MFD Setup wich i use for DCS A-10.

But with the extras screen on artemis i think there is hope that we can export the radar to a normal second monitor.

Edit: And i forgot: Track-IR support would be a blast.

I'm hoping this means Multi-monitor screens for cockpit monitors.....exporting screen regions to external displays..... Maybe even Helios type integration?????

The last time some of the Devs said something about "wait for the next wednesday, you will be surprised" many people were dissappointed, it was "just" a Mech!

Now i see people being dissappointed for Artemis not beeing a Mech ?

C'mon, dont try to set your mind on a fixed result before it comes out

The radar being moved is a bad idea imho. I can watch the radar with peripheral vision while fighting and targeting with it on screen but to take my eyes off the screen to look down and see the radar? Not sure that's ever a good idea.

Sorta like taking hands off the controls to type messages since there will be no voip built in.

The joystick looks cool, but I don't think it'll actually give a performance upgrade over a mouse, especially with a touchpad on the left hand side next to the keypad, talk about poor positioning, that's where our left hand is likely to rest.

They're just upset that they have to wait longer to play the game, I think they all secretly hoped it was an extra 100,000 beta keys or something.

So, instead of being excited over an new awesome direction that the Dev's have taken, integrating with partners and making a specific controller for Mechwarrior, the beginning of an IN HOME mech pod, you guys would have rather seen more of the concept art hanging on Bryan's wall for months, which will look vaguely like the art in your TROs.

Wow.

If you're the kind of person with the time, money, and inlcination to build out a vastly complicated control system for your games, there are already lots of options out there for doing that. Maybe this one will be a little better than the others. Okay... good, I guess?

For everyone else, it's just kind of irrelevant. I would have been much more interested in something directly related to the game, even if it was just a reveal of the Unseen or some other notable tidbit of info about game features or content.

And in regards to us not being happy that they've gotten a major endorsement from a peripheral company to make a joystick with MWO in mind, that's not the point we're making. The reason I'm mad is because of the hype train that was created for something that only appeals to a minor audience, and even less that can afford it. Something a lot cooler could have been released for this amount of hype, and as such it was a huge letdown to me.

[Claw55]

Laughed when I saw this pop up. Got a perfectly good stick already, like quite a few of the people here, so I probably won't be 'upgrading'.

Still, nice to see MWO is getting this kind of attention!

No, no it ******* didn't. If you're the kind of person who said "PGI overhyped this! They should've known," no, they didn't. This wasn't anywhere near 'overhype.' PGI mentioned it once on their main page and left a passive page that updated every day. They weren't shoving it down your throats, you were swallowing it whole and now you're disappointed because this "won't affect you."

There's no legitimate reason anyone should be less interested in MW:O because this controller is announced. If you're currently raging at PGI over this, I shudder to think what 'horrible flaws' and 'terrible mistakes' you'd find once the game drops. There's no two ways around it, you ARE that kind of person, and the game doesn't need you.

While it does suck that it's only a concept controller, PGI is reaching out to a portion of their fanbase without hurting others, and collaborating with a well-known company in the process. Good on them.

If you really want to rage about a game company, go play EA games.

A lot of self-entitlement in here. You all ask an awful lot from some great people that are providing you with a free game.

You seem to be mistaking disappointment and disinterest for entitlement.

e: To clarify, I certainly wouldn't say we were "owed" anything, but they did go to a lot of trouble to get everyone ramped up. It's incumbent on them to make sure the payoff is commensurate with the buildup.

how is that radar screen even practical its going to be actually be below the radar screen thats on the monitor so you would have to look down and away from the screen which I think is a disadvantege.

Yes, and actually a break of immersion, not improving it. The only possible benefit is if your virtual MFDs on the main screen have different view modes you can't see simultaneously.

[Agent KI7KO]

...I'd rather just get a ROCCAT Powergrid, TBH. Not like i'll be playing MW:O exclusively.

That is all.

That's fine, but few people are staying quiet and acting like it's irrelevant. Instead, there's a bunch of entitled rage and chicken littling. Such is the internet, I suppose.

All that for a freaking Joystick that i more than likely can't afford?

Im rethinking my founders package...

what does a control system have to do with you buying a founders package?

They have already said they are working with major joystick manufacturers and mouse/keyboard combo is supported.
Seriously, the butthurt replies on stuff like this amazes me the human race has survived this long...

Damn, that's sad. Just to commemorate the man, I think I'm going to change the startup sound for every computer at my work to the Trololo Song.
