ccp really should do some market research into kb/m before applying them to find out how its going to A effect balance and B effect market appeal

I lol if you are one of the ones whining for Kb/m, merely from the irony, and don't worry, the game will probably die if they include Kb/m so I guess that makes the adaptability rather pointless. The pragmatic truth is that kuken is right. CCP will alienate a large share of the market once people realise Kb\m support is in the game while only drawing in a marginal few, it makes no business or gameplay sense to me whatsoever as to why they would want it in the first place.

Came to this thread since it had a GM tag and I thought I might learn some super cool news.

Got trolled by CCP GM.

Left empty handed.





Give me KBM already.

this is a PS3 game!!!!!!!! NOT a PC game!!!!!!!!!!!

CCP, you will create an UnBALANCED advantage for the keyboard bs users.

I've been using the splitflish - never been much for joystick-aiming myself.

I hope the mouse implementation improves... right now with the splitfish it is crap, and I know it can be better - used it for my entire MAG career.

I can aim better with the right analog atm.

Yes, I'm all up for KB + M.
Now, I know there are loads of hardcore console shooter fans out there who are rightly proud of their pad skills, but let me run something by you all..
I sucked when I started using the PS3 controller. no biggie - it's a new skill for me, so I expected to, but I'm picking it up pretty well, and starting to take names. What I didn't anticipate is the way that situational awareness suffers using the console controller - as you can't glance around as fast as a human could move his head and eyes, your visual awareness cone narrows down in front of you. With mouse you could glance round more freely like a soldier on a battlefield might. Your awareness (potentially) improves, you get to admire the scenery more, and I'd argue that you feel more present and involved in the game world, so the experience becomes more immersive as a result.

Also, and this is a personal observation, the console controller encourages people to dance and caper 'round like a demented ballerina. Not quite what I'd expected of an immortal super-soldier. some means of effectively using cover has a more military feel to it than hopping from foot to foot.

So, KB/M, and move controller, it's been said. I'm looking forward to feeling more present on the battlefield!

+1 to KBM support. either decision they make, they'll be alienating some market.

Without KBM it alienates every PC gamer.
With KBM it alienates a small percentage of the PS3 market (Which is only the few who can't stand the though of playing against PC gamers).

It seems like an obvious decision to make. Plus it gives EVERYONE the option of using their KBM on the game. Since everyone here has a computer, everyone can use it.

I went from PC only, to PS3 only for gaming. Resistance 1 basically taught me how to use a controller and I know what you guys are going through. Just practice and you will get it, that and the game being patched. If you keep fighting with it and put up a bad attitude when you use it, of course nothing is going to change.

If you guys really need assistance, I use something called a KontrolFreek. Attachment for the right analog stick that gives you a much better turn radius.

I AM used to using a gamepad. I am consistently among the top players in many console FPS titles.

But I cannot deny that KBM would make this game much better.

It's simply a much better control scheme and leaving it out would be horrible for this title.

Meh, I think console players are scared because their "niche" customization that dominates everyone with a controller will be put to the test.

K & M offers pure skill to overcome any obstacle. Not seeing who can break dance fight the fastest when you come across an enemy.

Those that don't care enough to get a keyboard and mouse won't care enough to notice.

No one is arguing that it isn't a better control method(I'm not), but if it breaks balance, I'd rather leave it out. If it is getting nerfed to the point that there is no difference, than its a useless addition. Console games got along fine without kb/m and will be fine without it. Everyone seems to be so wrapped up in control schemes, when it's the game polish that will make more of a difference anyway.
