$200,000 Gun Controller Kickstarter Goes Dark, Then Asks For More Money

February 20th - via: kotaku.com.au
The Delta Six is an unusual controller shaped like a gun. Kotkin Enterprises raised nearly $US200,000 on Kickstarter, double the asking price. More than a year after the promised shipping date, the Delta Six is shipping, but there’s a catch: backers have to fork over more money to get what they already paid for. (Read More)

Ultra-Real Assault Rifle Controller Pushes Ahead Despite Uproar

June 23rd - via: kotaku.com
We first got wind of the "Delta Six," a super-realistic assault-rifle controller for those who like to put the FP into their FPSes, back in October. Predictably, the gun's purpose and look didn't play well in mainstream coverage, so it was pulled off the market. Now it's back, after a successful $200,000 Kickstarter. (Read More)

This Kickstarter controller changes the realism...

May 11th - via: gamezone.com
Today, I set my eyes upon an item in Kickstarter that aroused mixed feelings in me. The item in question is the Delta Six, an open-source multi-platform gaming controller that looks like a battle rifle. With the Delta Six, gamers could control every action – movement, melee, shooting, zooming in and reloading – with the rifle, making first-person shooters more immersive than ever before. (Read More)

Kickstarter Campaign Aims To Make First-Person Shooters Feel More Natural

May 11th - via: inquisitr.com
A new Kickstarter campaign is aiming to help make first-person shooters feel more natural. There is no denying the draw of first-person shooters in the gaming world. Halo is pretty much an event every time it gets a sequel, Call of Duty will sate your appetite for World War II scenarios, and even Dead Island mostly takes the guns out of the first-person shooter concept. In a world where guns are getting more and more legislated, video games are the only place a gun aficionado can get their fix without hassle. (Read More)

Delta Six gaming gun returns to Kickstarter, boasts Arduino innards

May 8th - via: engadget.com
The Delta Six gaming controller first hit Kickstarter last fall, but the plug was pulled from the crowdfunding effort by its creator David Kotkin, as he reckoned it wasn't on track to generate enough support. With hardware and software refinements made over the last few months, the peripheral has just been relisted on Kickstarter. In case you need a refresher, the peripheral puts a premium on realism and motion-enabled gaming. Thanks to accelerometers, gyroscopes and buttons in odd places, users can do things such as bring up in-game sights by looking down the plastic rifle's barrel, or steady their shot by pulling the faux weapon close to their arm. (Read More)

Delta Six Gun Controller Starts A Kickstarter Campaign

May 8th - via: nintendolife.com
The video game market isn't short of first person shooters these days. With franchises like Call of Duty being released on a yearly basis there's clearly a lot of demand out there for the genre. However, it's easy to see how people may feel that they can't get into the game with a normal controller, and for this reason inventor David Kotkin has created the Delta Six, a new controller which takes the form of a combat rifle. (Read More)
