If you thought console controllers couldn’t get weirder then you are in for a surprise, an Xbox-PlayStation hybrid controller is in the works and it is being created by none other than an ex NASA engineer, yes go figure. The controller which goes by the name “MEGA-one Xbox and PS4 Controller Mod” looks very interesting, to say the least. It is something out of a sci-fi movie and has certainly left us bewildered.
The project has been started on Kickstarter by Jake Middleton who is an ex NASA engineer. The project is named “Mega One” and the goal seems to create such a controller that combines the Xbox One controller and the PS4 controller with immersive feedback. According to the description on their Kickstarter page,
“Imagine playing your favorite FPS or racing game with the MEGA-one! Each bullet you fire recoils the controller back at you! Each turn you take in your get-away car jerks your hands from left-to-right as you fight to stay in control! (or any of a million other awesome games that you want to experience more!)
We think that games are awesome, but we want to really EXPERIENCE them in a way that we can’t do today – we want to FEEL the game – and that’s what the MEGA-one is all about!
If you’ve ever wanted to get into controller modding – this is the easiest yet most insane mod ever!”
The idea here is that the player should be able to experience as much immersion as possible, with a powerful motor for vibrations, the player will experience powerful recoil movement with each bullet that leaves the gun. The body is made out of aluminum to help with the weight of the controller as this thing looks very bulky no doubt.
The emphasis here seems to be on the tactile response that one gets when playing games that involve a lot of drastic movements, like take shooting and racing games for example, when you are driving that car using this controller and you crash into the wall, this controller will make sure that you absolutely feel it.
Middleton claims that the controller will be compatible will all games and hopes that it will be up for orders early next year if the Kickstarter campaign goes well.
