Version: Immersion TouchWare Gaming 1.0
"Not exactly genius programming"
Pros: I downloaded a trial of this software because, like so many gamers, I'm disappointed at the percentage of games that support force feedback. After all, my Logitech Wingman Force 3D Pro was begging for some action.
I came to the conclusion that it's all based on sound...
If I HAD to say something positive about Touchware Gaming, it's that the system tray-resident tool is easy to set up if you know anything about audio because it works like a 5-way equalizer. But that should be a negative point too I'm afraid...
Cons: In short: mostly everything. Logitech bought a license with Immersion (creators of this brilliant idea...) SEVEN years ago... but since it simply doesn't work (or should I say it works ALL the time) chose not to bundle it with their force feedback joysticks like the one I bought. And rightly so. In a noisy game (e.g. WWII aerial combat) everything shakes and you have to turn up the volume of your speakers/headphone so the rattling of the joystick wouldn't drive you mad. If you shoot a gun, I get the point of making the stick rattle. When a lane drops a mile away, I don't.
And yet in all of this disappointment I can't help but wonder the following: let's uninstall Touchware (that was a given) and think of the following: for all the years that force feedback has been around, WHY doesn't e.g. Logitech include a tool that let's you profiles with different 'rumbles' and different 'rumble lengths and strengths' in their Profiler tool ??? Everyone know only a tiny fraction of the existing games support FF, of which at least half cannot fulfill that claim to any level of satisfaction. It would be an easy feat for Logitech to make their products REALLY" enjoyable for ALL games... But anyway back to Touchware: If you're a programmer and you know that FF is software driven and you know that a company has bought your license, then WHY ON EARTH would you turn it into an audio analyzer??? And they charge what? 30$ for that? My advice is: DON'T download this software and DON'T even consider buying it.
PS: no there don't seem to be general-use FF emulators around, yet for some games it has been done. Look around on the net for specifics.
