TiltFX from Codejunkies makes a PSP respond to your every move (video)

We all lean when playing racing games and sit up in our seats when jumping in action games, but so far most PSP games have stoutly ignored all that nonsense. The TiltFX from Codejunkies might finally make those uppity consoles a little more responsive with a "G Sensor" -- a three-axis MEMS gyro that clips onto the lower-left of a PSP 1000, 2000, or 3000-series console. (Sorry, Goers, left out again.) Once plugged in you can simply tilt the console in the direction you want your character to go, something that we could definitely see enhancing the experience of games like Archer McLean's Mercury or or Loco Roco. And, for just £14.99/$19.99, it's certainly a better value than some other PSP accessories we've sampled in the past. Video demonstration after the break.

First! Nice.

[John52 Posted Mar 23rd 2010 10:14AM]

@Exbloder

And I care because? If it's downranked to the point of you not seeing it, then why would you complain?

[Exbloder Posted Mar 23rd 2010 10:59AM]

@John52 Hey, it happened again!

[Extinction Posted Mar 23rd 2010 1:37PM]

Now if only they'd make a full dualshock to psp adapter

[Exbloder Posted Mar 23rd 2010 2:48PM]

@Extinction You CAN use your ps3 + controller and link it to your psp, if that answers your question

[ThatDudeSolo Posted Mar 23rd 2010 10:03AM]

I honestly don't see nearly as many psp's as I use to. Maybe its just where I'm at. Nice add-on anyway.

[werty1432k Posted Mar 23rd 2010 10:14AM]

Now that is cool!

[in5ane Posted Mar 23rd 2010 10:23AM]

Ha, Mercury was meant to be officially packaged with this sort of thing when it first came out all those years ago. I'm sure somewhere there is one Mercury fan punching his fist in the air.

[Jayenkai Posted Mar 23rd 2010 11:00AM]

@in5ane Absolutely, I'm surprised it's taken THIS long for one to appear.
I doubt that it'll make any difference, this late in the game, but it's nice to think that someone's thinking about it.

[sweet greggo Posted Mar 23rd 2010 10:25AM]

Neat!

[Blocparty Posted Mar 23rd 2010 10:35AM]

Great!!!! (i've done this with my iPhone a while ago thanks)

[Pryomancer Posted Mar 23rd 2010 10:38AM]

How long before we get smug Apple fans telling us the iTouch has that already built in?

[synth Posted Mar 23rd 2010 12:09PM]

@Pryomancer
Hahaha, not long apparently (refers to comment above)

[deop Posted Mar 23rd 2010 10:48AM]

Wow, too bad I lost interest in my PSP years ago, nifty gadget though

[Exbloder Posted Mar 23rd 2010 11:04AM]

@hated one It is 3rd party, so it's not like the psp tries to be like the iphone like you said. Although I have to agree with the iphone having a huge influence on many products.

[mutex Posted Mar 23rd 2010 11:34AM]

Fantastic if you need a handicap in games.

[JimJam707 Posted Mar 23rd 2010 12:37PM]

How coincidental. The plug-in is black. So is the background.

[whormongr Posted Mar 23rd 2010 1:02PM]

mercury was the first thing that I thought, though some flight games could be fun too

[liin Posted Mar 23rd 2010 2:16PM]

360 turn on LocoRoco? That's cheating!

[kickme003 Posted Mar 23rd 2010 7:46PM]

cool!
all they need to do now is make a 2nd analog stick add-on
