Have you ever played a shooting game and thought you wanted it to be more immersive without VR? Well, the team over at Arkade have your back and they’ve teamed up with famous video game streamer PewDiePie to do it. The Arkade Blaster is a new gaming peripheral that connects with your smartphone and lets you play your favorite PC and mobile games like Call of Duty, Halo, Fortnite, and many many more using a gun controller.
This looks like a fun controller and approach to shooting games, but I am dubious as to how well it actually works. The video shows everything working smoothly, but I’m skeptical. I will say that the Arkade Blaster does look very nice.
If you’re interested in securing your own Arkade Blaster, you can head on over to their IndieGoGo campaign. As of the time of this writing, there are still Early Bird specials available to get a discount. Do you think this could be a new way to game? Will it be able to rival a keyboard and mouse player?
