3d, Move, Mouse Keyboard on Consoles?


(Achtung) #1

Been playin Killzone 3 as of late and its pretty amazing.

I usually play all shooters on PC if I can but i’d love to see SD support Keyboard and Mouse on the Console for us as I beat my PC up enough.

And if not KZ3 handles great with the Move on PS3 and will be better with the gun attatchment. Not to mention it looks saweet in 3d.

However KZ3 is just the game im usin to get to May 17th! Any info on support for such things?

Other than the sheer disinterested noise people throw at the subject I’d like to see M+KB on the PS3. Word on if it’s in and if there is some possibility for its inclusion in a future patch would be nice. I don’t see how this information needs to be withheld for marketing purposes.

I’ve not played KZ3 or used Move so I’m not entirely sure how easily it could transfer to Brink but the more the merrier I’d say.

I don’t PC game, but doesn’t mouse+keyboard give you a clear advantage over controller users? I thought it was pretty obvious …

So while Move is another method of playing KZ3, it apparently have it’s advantages and disadvantages in terms of how “good” you can be compared to the DS3 controller – whereas a mouse+keyboard you’d just be better in every way.

I wouldn’t like that. Unless of course it’s only available for the Single Player and not the Multiplayer then that’s okay.

What is the point in buying consoles when you are using keayboard/mouse?


(BrigandSk(A)) #5

No, Brink should not be able to play with mouse and keyboard on consoles simply because it unbalances the whole game, just because only few can afford for them . . .
I could have a ps3 and still have my old pc AMD 64 Bit (939 socket, it’s ancient) but instead I did not due to the more expenses I would have to make besides the core console . . .

The idea on Brink is to slim the difference between a no life professional gamer and the casual newb player with features such as: SMART button (no needed skills to get over obstacles), player have the game offering them what they can do to help the team to win (even if a newb does not know the map… he will play like he has been there before), veterans will always be dependent from the team if they want to keep pressing on the attack at the front line (the end of the invincible lone wolfs).

and so on…

so…

No unbalance features, thank you.

On the other hand… custom button remapping should be available because not 1 single person has some1 exactly the same as he is, we are all different and we all see things in a different perspective. That’s why I use different keys any1 else uses on FPS games… call me weird, freak, different, original or even handicapped.
I’m sure they got this in… since other great IPs done it.

Well when you can just plug a usb keyboard n mouse into your PS3 theres no unbalance since anyone can do it.

My son was a hardcore controller user, and now he gets all the shooters he can on PC cuz he likes the M+KB after just learning it. Could be he just has good genes though. :wink:

I really dont see a balance issue.

Eventually it will happen.

BTW the Move is 85% advantage over controller as far as i can tell so far on KZ3, but the open Beta is closed now. Just have to wait till Tuesday to get the full effect. Yay!

The main reason i’d like to see M+KB is because the PS3 just runs so nice and never crashes. My PC is used mostly for work so when i hose it up with games and whatnot it makes me sad…

my tv has a usb port, I can plug a KB and mouse into it, and just like the PS3, it’s useless


(EnderWiggin.DA.) #8

Please explain. I don’t own a PS3. I really don’t have a stake in this argument. I am just curious. Do you have to buy a custom PS3 keyboard and mouse and console rape prices or something?

No most USB KB and Mice work on the PS3 for input (msging etc). Of course Sony also just updated their terms of service saying you can’t use ANY unauthorised devices so take from them what you will.

In sort, any developer worth their salt (RAH! <gauntlet slap!>) should just support M+KB and implement filters to enable both player bases to pick if they want to mix or not.

Hell yeah they should. As i said anyone can plug a mouse and keyboard in and learn to use it. Anyone who refuses to learn the M+KB is SOL. Man Up Kiddies!

Well, it’s never going to happen so I don’t really need to worry.


(Herandar) #12

Thank you sincerely for your elite condescension. I’ll feel much better gaming on the couch tonight knowing that you think I’m a child for using a controller.


(system) #13

Why do people think that a couch is better than a chiar and a desk, that properly supports your arms and back?


(DarkangelUK) #14

He didn’t say it was better, he said he feels better gaming on a couch… it’s his personal preference.


(Herandar) #15

I don’t need “proper support” for my arms and back, as I have functioning musculature that is capable of maintaining my arms and back in a natural healthy position whether sitting on a couch or standing.


(system) #16

I say this because I tend to play for a few hours, 3-4 and a couch never felt confortable for long periods of time. I even hate it when watching a movie.


(madoule) #17

etek was just concerned for everybody’s well-being. not that anyone here gets spine torsion while gaming on the couch. he’s right when saying: please take care of yer dear ol’ spine and use a decent chair while gaming. an additional desk will furthermore aid in achieving ergonomic stability.

i for myself hope that i can feed my monitor to the plasma screen and use M+KB on my comfy couch.
