PDP announce the Gametrak Freedom motion controller for the Xbox

March 27, 2009 in News comments 10

Performance Designed Products (”PDP”) revealed its Gametrak Freedom motion sensing controller at the GDC in San Francisco yesterday. This is an interesting announcement, but what is not clear is whether this is the controller that Rare have been rumoured to be working with.The Freedom is said to be better than the Wiimote and does not rely on infra red. How much software support it will get is also unclear. It would make sense that there will be a lot of Wii games that should be easy to port to the 360, but will the Freedom be supported by MS?

Press release included.

    PDP hopes to release the Gametrak Freedom in the fall, with a PlayStation 3 version coming out sometime in 2010.

    Ugh, it looks like the remote/controller you get on airplanes. Or a really bland sex toy...

    Third party wii mote for the xbox 360? A little random, much? Unless Microsoft plans on making special games for it, whats the point?

    I told you all the Wii was the beginning of the end. Kratos was talking about motion controls, not the Gods.

    This is ridiculous. XBox is just taking the idea of the Wii controller

      Read the article, It has nothing to do with Xbox copying anything.
