not sure what you mean there.

As for keyboard/mice on PS3/X360 it may run into the problem most accessories do and that is usage. I mean the controller is standard so developers have to implent it into their games, some will, some won't.

i think this a whole different ball game then what your pointing out.
for 1, we're talkin FPS games, not maping a keyboard out to use a platformer, that would be silly.
keyboard support is already in many of the online games that consoles use.. basic keyboard support is VERY easy to impliment.

i can almost guarantee that all the FPS companies making these FPS games for PS3 and x360 that make em for PC are going to add the keyboard support if the console allows them to. (the console only developers will follow suit afterwards) In many of these games, like Unreal tourmanent 2007, Quake 4, Call of Duty, Half Life 2, etc. that have been developed on PC, will/already have the keyboard functions built into them, they just lie unused on a console that doesnt let it use it.

because for keyboard controls YOU develop the config. not them, when they have to design a game for 2 completely different controllers, they have to make up things to add and take away buttons. to figure out how they can get one thing done on another controller thats layed out different.

this is nothing like adding keyboard/mouse support. where you go into the control settings and tell it i want e to be move foward, and this key to jump. or that key to shoot.


IF the consoles allow the developers to add the support... then Keyboard/mouse support will be STANDARD for FPS games on consoles by the end of the new gen.

I don't think this point is entirely true. Well atleast on a whole.
There are people who buy fishing rods for games or steering wheels for racing game.
The games are built around the controller yes, but people find it more immersive to actually have a device they can control. While the Rev doesn't necessarily take the shape, it does allow a certain level of interaction as you control the action with your body.

Its like this I guess, have you ever played or known someoen who played a game and leaned their body in one way or another trying to well I guess control whats going on?

I don't know the last point with fun/precision. Case and point is most people will be using the Rev controller all at once. Unless, you are referring to playing a game on the 360 compared to the Rev.. then er I don't know

yea, but fishing rods, are something you play on your own for fun, and i dont know they may be easier to play then a controller i've never played em.

Steering wheels in racing games ARE the more procise and easier way to race. like, if someone were to go online with a racing game, one using a controller, one using a steering wheel. i'd give the advantage to the one using the wheel. he can control speed and turning much smoother and more accuratly then the person with the controller.



What im saying for nintendos new controller, is while it may be a more fun way to control such and such game, it may not be the BEST way to control it. it all depends on the game. i'd love to use it on sports games and try it out, but i wouldnt want to seriously play a sports game using it. i'd want the better way.
