I really think that, if we want to continue focusing on shooters then it is only to the industry's benefit that we start pushing mouse and keyboard.

Then we can start coming up with mice and keyboards that work well on the couch.

Well, anyhow, i made my point, CCP deside if they are going to lose tons of players, gain more or just jurk around and dont dear to do anything. On the event on iceland they told Keyboard and mouse whas going to be an option. If that isnt the case anymore, i'm selling my PS3. Something i shoud have done ages ago, but kept it as i whas waiting for this game. Pc is and have always been the ultimate gaming machine, and think its a error that they aint making this game for PC, as Eve Online is a PC game, and Dust built on the same concept.

You consistently argue that this change will chase away players.

Yet that's what you're doing.

Do you have some sort of preference for console gamers over PC gamers?

There are many players here that are actually attracted to Dust 514 because of KBM.

Let me ask you this: Are you absolutely certain that the amount of console players who will get indignant over adding KBM will outnumber the players who came to Dust 514 because of KBM support?

Enough with the kb/m thread spam already! If this game was also released on pc, then I'd say yes to balance it out but it's a ps3 exclusive so there is no good reason to do it other than the fact that some people don't know how to use a controller properly. This game was made for PS3 players who have no problem using a controller for FPS, not to atract whiny pc players who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn without kb/m. If any of you decide to get rid of your ps3 because of this, good riddance, the rest of us are doing just fine.

Cant be better written. :) Perfect points, and yes i have also friends that have got themselfe a PS3 and keyboard and mouse just as the rason CCP told that it will have support. But havent seen any more info on it. And today i finnaly tested the game, and there isnt any support yet. :(

But CCP said they would. They should hold up to their words. If not, then how can you trust them with what they say?

From CCP Jian, on Twitter: "@EONmagazine and those asking for an "official statement": DUST 514 *will* support keyboard and mouse on PS3"

I wonder if they're actually listening to themselves.

This is a change that benefits the console gamer. Mouse and keyboard doesn't have to be exclusive to PC gaming. They're going to be given the chance to experience the ergonomic, sharp, smooth and intuitive controls of PC FPS and they're whining about it.

The RTS market is non-existent for the PS3. Why's that? :P

Because people don't know any better, and for the most part people complain about the cost of running and maintaining a PC.



Players on PC (for games that y'know.. aren't given the one-size-fits-all treatment a-la Activision) don't get aim assist. They don't. Hitting a target on PC, is hitting a target. Those hitboxes are proper, and the mouse input is left alone.

"Analogue requires more dexterity". I'd argue against that considering more keys, more fine movements on the keyboard. Either way, this is a pretty stupid argument. Mice are better for shooters, everyone in here has pretty much agreed, therefore mice should be an option offered, despite people's fears of it being the "dominating input".

A keyboard + mouse is cheaper then a dualshock controller.

Just sayin.


CCP supposedly have plans to bring the game to the PC after the 1-year exclusivity agreement, so they will need good kb/m support anyway.

Sorry console kiddies, but it's time to realize that computers are replacing the crappy, over priced, under achieving garbage known as consoles. Consoles just aren't what they used to be.

Racing wheel users don't have a noti-- are you kidding me? That might be true for kart style racing but for others analogue input is a must. A steering wheel (hell, a gamepad) has a HUGE advantage versus a keyboard, even for racing games on the PC. End result, people are expected to adapt to either get a controller or a steering wheel. It should be no different here.

OT: Went and had food.. Mmm food.



Yeah 'cause modern day developers make shooters that are worthwhile on the PC these days. Naw, instead they take the console experience and just slap it on the PC with limited FoV, lackluster controls, and terrible textures.

Oh, I'm sorry. The PC market is small? Gee, that's well backed up :3

draw a perfect circle with a mouse in game ccp , then do it with a pad. feel the difference. plz just try it
ps3 community just want it ballanced with a pad, as you can see ^

Your wrong he stated that the aim assist is bugged. So the problem is that we don't want aim assist but must have it because KB/M support is coming. If it's not balanced a game that I've been following since 2010 will fail.

If KB/M screws up the one FPS that I had hope for I quit FPS gaming I refuse to play COD and DICE/EA are greedy bastards.

Supposedly it IS getting ported to PC in a year. Since we're all in the same universe in Dust 514, you'll have to be facing PC users eventually.

And it'll do just fine on consoles if it has mouse and keyboard unhindered.

That's quite a claim, can you back it up with numbers?

Apparently YOU lack it, actually.

The number of PS3 owners with PCs that just happen to have a compatible mouse and keyboard attached is probably larger than you appreciate.

And the number of PS3 players willing to spend $20 or so on cheap peripherals so they can become more competitive in their otherwise-free FPS is also probably higher than you think.

As for myself, I have an old PC with USB KB+M, but I don't intend to use them, and will be disappointed if CCP can't balance the two control schemes. It's been done before, so I don't see a reason why it can't happen here. As long as the controller works competently, I intend to have fun and not care as much about competition.

Templar Two protip, pc gamers always get what they want.

There's a reason if nobody ever did it again over 5 years and dozens of FPS.

Because the industry is notably stagnating and refuses to move past Call of Duty?
