I suck at FPS...

[DaGaffer]

...with a controller. I just can't get into playing FPS games on my PS3, (Battlefield: Bad Company sits there on my shelf, laughing at me), so I'm thinking about getting one of these: 3 XFPS Rate Up Keyboard/Mouse Adaptor. Anyone had a go with one?

stay away from that

either buy an fps that uses mice and kb on ps3 or get this Spltfish.com - Home

both have issues but split fish hampers you kless with lag issues

Lol i had the same problems mate, bought cod4 for the ps3 when it first came out got so pissed i couldnt kill peopel because of the dam analog i went and bought it for the PC, and then i never played on my ps3 so i sold the bloody thing!

Its not just a matter of getting "better", I just don't like playing FPS with a controller; it always feels slow and ponderous. Any other kind of game and the controller is fine, but with FPS it just takes all the fun out of it.

I usually turn the sensitivity all the way up on the Console FPS to get a better reaction out of the controller, Console FPS's can work but the Dual Shock controller is really not suited for it, hopefully the Wii remote will get better with the new motion sensor thing but then again Metroid 3 turned out ok. The 360 and N64 controllers work out ok as they fit nicely in the hands and the analog sticks are in the right place.

But to contradict myself nothing beats the keyboard and mouse for FPS's

Surely using a mouse on a console FPS would make them so easy as to pose no challenge whatsoever?

Why would you ever even want to play an FPS on a console? Some people are fucking insane.

qft tbh

It's just staggering how many morons are willing to play a game with an inherently flawed control system. Imagine trying to strafe jump and doing a 180 to throw a rocket into someone mid air on a console. Impossible. PC? Easy. (Quake Live shall rule!)

theres only ut3 that you can do that with kb an mouse on ps3 its doable on 360 as well.

Playing FPS on a console is neither here nor there, its playing FPS with a controller that's the issue. If the publishers wanted to migrate all the PC FPS players over (and the likes of EA would seem to prefer that, as the latest in their most popular PC FPS franchise is only available on console), all they have to do is give a mouse/kb option; the only ones left playing PC would be those in it purely for the technology. (It would also let them develop proper MMOs). Its not like MS and Sony don't support keyboards anyway, so why not let us use them for gaming? Unfair advantage? You could make that claim against someone using a steering wheel for a driving game, but no-one bats an eyelid about that. Makes no sense to me.

Agreed m8. Always feels to me like walking through treacle. Even with the sensitivity turned up it still feels awkward.

Can't beat a good mouse for an FPS tbh.
