Talismoon launch the Tiltboard

In the war between the Xbox 360 and the PS3, the PS3’s SIXAXIS controller has oft been held up as a big advance in controlling games on Sony’s shiny new system.

Of course, Xbox 360 will nod towards their controller’s rumble pack, something famously lacking in the SIXAXIS... but if you really want to be the gamer who has it all, how about cracking open your Xbox 360 controller and installing the Tiltboard from Talismoon?

According to the Talismoon Press Release, you’ll have more control and a more comfortable tilting experience than PS3 owners get with the SIX AXIS... even if you do have to install the thing yourself.



Check out the full press release from Talismoon and then ponder how you’re going to solder the board to your controller and, in my opinion, whether it’s even worth bothering doing...

Kinda off topic I know, but does anyone else think the whole tilt stuff is generally a really clumsy way of doing things? I have a microsoft sidewinder pad somewhere and it was basically a bit of a pain to use; Having to concentrate on the angle of the control pad would screw me up everytime as I had a tendency to have it facing me.

Admittedly I haven't actually tried the PS3 stuff but I can't imagine it changing too much.

Tilt is IMO a very stupid way of doing motion sensing, unless it's something very simple like the tilt sensor in the GH controllers, it's very difficult to do properly. You also look like a complete spaz trying to control regular controller with a tilt sensor in it (good example is looking at the Warhawk part of Sony's infamous E3 conference).

Gah, saw the thread title and hoped it was the Tilt pinball game coming to XBL :)

Everything required to enjoy the latest sensation in console gaming on Xbox 360™ comes in a convenient package and requires only seven wires to solder.

Excellent - an opportunity to void your controller warranty to create something that you would never really want!

It actually works really well on the PS3 - i kind of dismissed it at first myself but on certain games it is very accurate and responsive and adds a different dimension to the game.:thumbsup:

But like as said above warranty issue is somewhat of a bummer.
