Best PS3 FPS Controller: CTA Rifle With Built-in Speakers
CTA Digital, after the Wii football accessory, have come up with a rather graceful solution- a facsimile plastic rifle, with a trigger and built-in speaker to support the controller’s three sound effects. So now you can make FPS games more realistic than before.
The controller features every button on a standard DualShock controller, making it compatible with games even other than Call of Duty or Battlefield. Imagine playing the latest Shrek game the way it was meant to be played, behind the scope of a rifle. It will hook up to the Sony PS3 via an USB dongle.
All the buttons that are found on a standard SixAxis controller are there on the assault rifle controller, including the D-pad, Start and Select buttons and clickable thumbsticks. The trigger is mapped to the R1 button, giving you the satisfaction of each kill on the screen. Not only that, there is an integrated speaker that enables you to enjoy in-game sound effects right in front of you, but don’t expect booming sound.
For the first time ever, PlayStation 3 gamers now have the perfect peripheral for battle with CTA Digital’s newly-available Assault Rifle Controller, adding never-before realism to first-person shooter games. Gamers can pull the trigger with one hand and press the controller buttons with the other to shoot enemy combatants and move through the gaming environment. The Rifle comes with a removable scope and stock.
The Rifle is powered with two AA batteries and has an on/off switch to conserve power. Each package includes the Assault Rifle controller, USB dongle key, scope, and stock. August 2 is the shipping date, and you can grab one at $65.
