Use Keyboard and Mouse with PS3 Games Update?

jimm895,

Your logic is like saying "The bicycle is just a lazy way of travelling that really doesn't requier any skill (compared to cars)." Would you want to drive your car in heavy traffic using an Xbox controller? My point is that some methods just make more sense than another depending on what you need to do. Some games are meant for controllers, and some games are meant for keyboard and mouse, regardless of the gaming platform.

Ironically, you end up making a good argument for keyboard and mouse by pointing out how easy they are to use!

Personally, I would rather play any FPS with a keyboard and mouse. They should always add support for them in these kinds of games. And Sony should release an official Bluetooth keyboard and mouse set for the PS3. I was going to buy Modern Warfare 2 on the PC for this reason, but I hate Steam and won't have anything to do with them. So now I'm stuck having a lesser experience with a PS3 controller. Controllers are for platformers and fighters, get it straight!

unreal you can play with a KB and mouse

The keyboard and mouse is just a lazy way of gameing that really doesn't requier any skill (just place the pointer on the target and click isn't much of a challenge). The controller does take some type of skill to use (can quick snipe, manuver a vehicle and fire at the same time, or a number of other combinations while someone is trying to get the mouse lined up on a target. Try flying a WWII fighter plane and drop bombs and fire the machine guns at the same time with a keyboard and mouse. jimm895

Well you exposed the hell out of yourself here.

FPS games started on the PC. Keyboard and mouse has always been the intended control scheme. They eventually made their way to consoles because analog sticks were the best way to adaptthe control scheme to the other gaming medium.

Sit down on a PC and play COD4 or Counterstrike with a keyboard and mouse and then come back and say it doesn't require any skill. Wait, I know what you would say, though. You would say that it's so easy to use that everyone killed you repeatedly, when that's really just a sugar-coated way of saying that you're not good at the game.

Trying to claim that you can do more with a controller simultaneously than you can with a mouse and keyboard is a good way of pointing out that you just haven't done any gaming on PC. That's like someone asking why dropping dedicated servers from MW2 is a big deal.

The old C&C games should be able to use KB/M

bowlingotter your post is an epic win.

Mouse & Keyboard is the best setup for FPS. I myself play FPS on PS3 and PC. What i find is that it feels much better on PC then on ps3. I still aim good on ps3 but not as good as pc. I got good on the joystick because your force too. I even sticked them FPS freeks on my joystick just so it aims better. But even with extra addons it wont beat the Mouse & Keyboard setup.
