I'm sorry if these questions have been answered in one form or another; I can't really find too much info on the subject. But I was wondering how compatible ARR would be with the controller on the PC, if still compatable. I loves playing the later build of 1.0 with the controller, and sometimes with a mixture of the controller and the mouse (was a lifesaving combination in the Nael Van Darnus scuffle). I hope the mechanics of how it worked doesn't change too much. The controller was way better to play with than the keyboard, imo.

Yes, the controller will still be usable on the PC. It'll use the UI from the PS3.

As for when we'll be getting the controller option: Beta, according to the interviews.

That's cool beans, I'm just hoping not too much changes and it runs just as well with a controller in ARR.

Have you seen the ps3 UI? It looks nice to control, with better button assignment. So if anything, it should be an improvement over our current one.

12-05-2012, 04:31 AMSkyeWindbinderYeah, I saw i. I was just worried it wouldbe so different it might cause problems. But never mind me, I'm probably fretting over too much. The new UI does look pretty boss.Quote:

If anything, it was stated that pc players can use either ps3 UI or the pc UI.Quote:

"The UI for using a PS3 controller or PC gamepad is completely different from the one for keyboard/mouse, right down to how the screen's set up," Yoshida explained.

PS3 controllers are tiny, my biggest complaint against PlayStation has always been controllers since DS2. the original PS controllers were nice.

I would suggest the 360 wired, they have a special one for pc if you're ever interested =] -
12-06-2012, 12:56 AMFelisYou can make a 360 wireless into a 360 wired with only this: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Black...roller+chargerQuote:

12-06-2012, 02:02 AMKyriThank you Rockababy :) Perhaps im a little too rough with my games but ive actually had the cords go in 3 controllers between me and my husband, so we tried wireless(plus future shop was out of wired) and found out how crappy the battery rest was >< atm were using the wireless with a cheap version of a xbox cord that keeps it charged and from turning off, but a pain in the @$$ because you need to have a usb spot for the cord and for the wireless part, silly but for some reason it wont seem to work without that part. In the end the cord to plug and play will save me batteries and only cost 15$ vs the $60 I pay for the new full controller when the cord goes wonky.Quote:

My question on the subject would be: If I want to play with a controller, will I be forced to play with the PS3 UI or if I can choose to play with a controller on the Keyboard/Mouse UI (like we did in 2.0)???
Why? Because, from what I read, the PS3 UI will not offer a great deal of customization (fixed UI) and since I like to re-organize my UI to my liking, the PS3 UI doesn't really appeal to me. -
12-06-2012, 03:43 AMValmonteas long as windows can properly interface & identify the device, the dxinput driver should work unless the device is malfunctioning. with Dxinput you have to map the buttons yourself, which i find better when you want to do combination mapping. the default SE mapping for X360 device doesn't allow LT+X to go into active mode for instance.Quote:

Yes, fix the controller reconnection and it's all good. That's why I had to use the DS3 to keep it connected until its battery runs out.

12-06-2012, 04:37 AMValmontethe old client was so paranoid it locked itself away in its own executable, once the game was running nothing could be added or changed as the game itself assumed nothing would.Quote:

For the PS3 version can you relocate the UI position or size?
M: It is possible to change the display position. We are currently making adjustments to see how much we can do for the size but we are thinking to make this possible as well.
How will you change it?
M: There is a special mode called HUD layout mode, from there you can change each individual menu size or position.
