Some basic PS3 Questions..

[EvilRyu2099]

Just curious, I recently purchased a PS3 and I'm wondering something.. I'm interested in purchasing and playing some FPS games online but I want to know if they support mouse and KB play, or do they just force everyone to use a controller? Personally I think it would be better if everyone is forced to use a controller since, it evens the playing field more.. It's just my opinion that playing with a mouse gives one a huge advantage against controller players because you basically can aim and turn quicker with a mouse..

Kinda reminds me of my current game SSFIV and how the PS3 controller is a little sensitive, and it's recommended to play with an arcade stick...

Now I know maybe this isn't the place for this but I just wanted some honest and quick feedback.. I tried googling this topic and all I got were old articles from a few years back..

As far as i know you cannot use keyboard and mouse in fps games or any game on the ps3.

I know Resistance: Fall of Man and Unreal Tournament III works with a mouse and keyboard. But if you'd like to play all your FPS's on your PS3 with a mouse and keyboard, there are adapters out there like the XFPS that will enable you to do that.

You may also want to look into the Frag FX controller by Splitfish. Some people seem to like it

Apparently you can... With this: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl- ... -2c8s.html
But that would be cheating now wouldnt it?

I say it's not an unfair advantage, because they could just buy the keyboard/mouse themselves.

That's saying that you should be forced to use the worse game controller just because other's are too poor to purchase the good one.

Most PS3 games don't support mouse and keyboard. A few do, but I don't believe most people use the mouse and keyboard, as at that point they actually understand the PC is the superior platform for FPS control.

This is a good question, because I cant seem to get into using a controller for FPS games. It just doesnt feel right. Much rather use the keyboard/mouse.

Well the problem with the PC FPS games is that hardware is constantly updating, so it's hard to keep up with the most recent Spec Requirements of the newer games... I remember a few years ago when F.E.A.R came out the Spec Requirements for that game was INSANE... I mean not many people back then were able to play it when it was first released due to it being so advanced technically..

Actually, a big problem is that people buy a new PC and refuse to play it on anything but the absolute highest settings at 1600x1200 on their PC. If they'll just knock the resolution down a little and turn down the shiny sliders a notch or two, it will still look good and likely better than a console game even if they don't have the absolute newest PC hardware. Some people also don't close other running programs when playing games either and have a bunch of junk 'helper' stuff running.
