E3 2012: Razer’s Awesome MechWarrior Concept Controller




E3 has brought a wealth of great partnerships, but the Razer and Piranha Games/Infinite Game Publishing has probably given us the coolest concept controller at E3.



While we’ll have to be careful to keep our excitement at levels befitting a concept-only controller, we loved the look of the Razer Artemis and can’t wait to try out whatever inevitable production model rolls out.

The army green concept controller is more than a little reminiscent of the Hawken controller, but in its current stage, only offers a single stick and number pad - which is a good deal less complex than Hawken’s equally (extra?) sweet mech battler controller which features more bells and whistles than a marching band.



There’s still time for Razer to match the complexities of the Hawken controller, but only time will tell if they decide to stick their current design which has less controls, and an absolutely humongous screen.



“When it was announced that a new MechWarrior Online was in the works, Razer was more than excited for the opportunity to collaborate with Piranha Games and Infinite Game Publishing.  We’re going to bring our own take to a concept controller that will pave the way for a new generation of robot destruction.” said Robert Krakoff, President of Razer USA.



We’ve been assured Razer will keep us updated with design changes, and we’ll let you know when we get our hands on a working prototype.
