I think the only type of mouse/keyboard that may work would be the FragFx controller which is made specifically for the PS3.

It's a mistake to allow M/KB on consoles. Sure some people want to play with them, but others prefer the controllers. Allowing M/KB will effectively kill any online components because those with controllers just won't be able to compete.

Big mistake IMO.

Seriously, ask yourself this, if you have a choice between the controller or m&k, which would you choose to use ? Since you already know you will "pwn" everyone using m&k ? ...... yeah, exactly. Same goes to everyone else.

It has been confirmed by Mark Rein himself. Haven't seen you around in a while Deihmos.

Um if we wanted to use m&k we wuould have bought PCs. We buy consoles to play games we like using a controller which WE think is comfortable to us.

This late in the process that most likely would have been confirmed, just like cross platform play was.

Not too worried about that. They can always do what shadowrun does, give controll some suped up auto-aim so they can keep their edge.

It wouldn't be fair for those that aren't using one because it's much easier with a mouse and keyboard. If ou could use that it would be the same as playing a pc game

So forcing every PS3 gamer to use a KB/M to be competitive is ok with you?

To the first guy who replied me.. Find me a $600 PC that can play COD4 or UT3 or any future FPS games.. to the guy above me, It's not a matter of forcing, dont get me wrong. It's just a simple question, If you have a CHOICE... which would you choose ?

Yes, it is a simple question, but it's irrelavent what I would choose. Many people would NOT choose KB/M and they will be screwed in multiplayer.

All PS3 owners already have a PC that can play PC games anyways right? Go play it on your PC if you want KB/M.

I have never played a PC game but i would imagine that if i wanted to shoot someone all i'll need to do is see him, put my mouse pointer on his head and click (at least before he does it to me). Is this true? If this is true...then what fun is it?

Good points, but one thing being missed. There are people that want it so how to provide it - only allow it in custom matches......

The point right above - that you are quoting is that not everyone has a PC that can play these games. I only have a laptop - NVIDA card, 2.2ghz Core 2 duo and some other good stuff - $1400 and guess what - UT3 demo looks like CRAP so I got a ps3 to play games on and a computer to do other stuff on....

agreed, PC shooters just aren't as fun as console imo, sure you get better controls but where's the skill in that? i stick to RTS on PC.

I'm on a single core CPU with 8xAGP and UT3 looks just fine on it. But then again, that's what you get for trying to game on a laptop. This is all still outside of the point anyways.

Screwing over a bunch of the users is a bad idea, and putting KB/M for PS3 games is going to do just that. This game will easily be the most available used game for the PS3 because of all the returns that will happen.

If there was a way of having a group of servers for kb/m and others for joypad only then why not.

As long as you somehow managed to stop kb/m from connecting to the joypad servers. Probably not possible.

i hear the most idiotic complaints here sometimes... So EXCUSE ME if i want to play Killzone 2 the way any fps should be played.

only noobs who don't know what an fps is will try to play it with pad instead of kb/mouse.

if some guy feels he's getting his ass kicked online he will take the mouse and keyboard from his own pc and connect it to the PS3. so you're saying we should dumb down 1 game because some people don't want to adjust?

well... maybe those same people should just try to play rock band or guitar hero with the pad also... why put some instruments to play those games?

Yes, UT will have mouse and keyboard support, the dev said it wouldn't bring it to the PS3 if it didn't have, and I'm hoping Killzone 2 will have it also. I will be very sad to miss probably one of the best fps ever because of such an easy to fix situation. It's like repeating the Resistance stuff all over again. I would have bought it and lots of my friends would also if it had kb/m support.

Go play it on your PC if you want KB/M. You do have a PC right? Why should they crap on the console users when the PC is perfectly capable of fulfilling the need for KB/M?

Some people are just too closedminded..

Some people like to play with with mouse and keyboard other like to play with a controll ( i cant understand why but i respect that, it's their choice) So if you like one of the other, use it, play with it and be happy.

About online play, well here is where it gets tricky, one solution would be to have seperate servers for mouse and keyboard, other for joypad. They've done tests with controllers vs mouse in online fps against eachother, and guess who had it easier, the controller most of the time, just becaus eof the heavy autoaim that it has, remove it and it's another issue.

Myself i have played plenty of fps with mouse and with controller and i prefer mouse and keyboard over controller anyday.

It just makes the game more fun and smoother to play. Play say Halflife 2 with a controller then do it with a mouse and see which you like the best...

Game developers should cater to both sides of the player base, not force someone to play something in a way they dont like.

Personaly i've skipped quite alot of games i'd loved to play, because in the long run, i cant really stand using a controller in a fps.

And to those who whines about things getting unbalanced online if mouse and controller where mixed.. well there is something called FragFX which works quite excellent, not as good as a mouse but way better then a controller and guess what, tons are using it!

;)
