Razer is tickled pink to announce the availability of the Razer Hydra, a new motion-controller for the PC. What's even better is the fact that it comes in a bundle with Portal 2 and six exclusive maps that make use of the motion controller's added functionality!
In addition to the support for Portal 2, the Hydra includes support for over 125 PC titles including Left 4 Dead 2 and World of Goo. Future titles are added constantly and updating is as simple as downloading the latest configuration file. The Razer Hydra and Portal 2 bundle will run games $139.99 (USD) and can be ordered from Razerzone. Pre-orders begin in May with the final product shipping in June.
The Razer Hydra lets you extend your natural body motion directly into your PC games. With Portal 2, this means a breathtaking new way to play when you can intuitively reach out, interact with physics puzzles, shoot portals and leap across wide chasms in complete three dimensions. With Razer’s trademark ultra-low latency and highly precise one-to-one tracking to the exact millimeter and degree, experience maximum portal testing immersion.
“We are excited to finally bring full motion control to the PC,” said Min-Liang Tan, CEO and Creative Director, Razer. “Gamers will be blown away by the pinpoint tracking precision that mirrors every move in-game. They’ll also enjoy the exclusive new Portal 2 content created specifically for the Razer Hydra, giving them more bang for their buck.”
