For some, PC gaming may have lost its luster, thanks to current generation gaming consoles sporting motion controlled inputs such as Microsoft's Kinect and Sony's Playstation Move. Razer is stepping in to ensure PC gaming stays relevant with the announcement of the Razer Hydra.
The device comes with a pair of motion sensitive controllers, extending your natural body motion directly into the game. This allows players to reach out and interact with the game's physics. The Hydra also boasts low power consumption and a precise sensor to track movement. Watch the following gameplay video of Portal 2 to see how the Hydra works.
The Hydra has been optimized to work with over 125 PC games, including popular games like Call of Duty: Black Ops, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Left 4 Dead 2. This device is only compatible with Windows however, so Mac users won't be able to join in the fun.
Razer will be taking pre-orders for the Hydra and Portal 2 bundle from next month. While the bundle costs US$139.99, there's no word on the price of the product alone. With a release date set for June, we shall have to wait till then to see if the Hydra will make an impact on PC gaming.
