Rumours are TN Games is working on a G-Force feedback model for next year.To keep the vest useful, they’ve built patches for top PC shooting titles Doom 3 and Quakes 3 and 4. The vest will also ship with a copy of Call of Duty 2 and Incursion for $190 in the States. For that extra level of detail the vest is available in camouflage, as well as SWAT-black. Shell shock not included.There’s no word on console compatibility yet, or a UK release. Don’t worry though, we’re on the case.EssentialsThe 3rd Space VestPrice: $190 (£80)On sale: November Contact: TN GamesRelated stories:PS3 to add rumble to joypadSony decides on the rumble
