[QUOTE=diwako;42455022]The PS3 already had Mouse and Keyboard support, just the games never implemented that. I already used those on the PS3 to watch youtube videos on TV.[/QUOTE] Mouse and keyboard work in PS3-version of Unreal Tournament 3 just like they work on the PC-version.
[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;42456083]I remember some study being done by Microsoft of that nature. Don't remember what game they used but what I do remember is the controller team was a professional/semi-professional team and the KBMs were semi-serious teens. The KBMs wiped the floor with the pros.[/QUOTE] Do you have more information on this? I'm interested.
Yes please.
I'd think the PS4 would be keyboard&mouse compatible because that's how it was with PS3. As for Xbox, it really makes sense cause all you need is a USB port and drivers. But I don't think a lot of developers release console games with keyboard support. I think Unreal Tournament III had keyboard support on PS3, but can't think of any others.

Didn't they go against this before when they saw the mouse was VERY MUCH mouse precise than the controller? I mean shit, in FPS Mouse/Keyboard wins hands down

On both LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2, you could type your text messages with a keyboard instead, if you prefer that over a low quality microphone communication, which was very useful.

[QUOTE=Durrsly;42456378]I want that second one for Steam.[/QUOTE] I have it and it's the greatest damn steam controller ever, only thing that it's missing is a central guide button. And the thumbsticks are hard plastic. Probably need to replace those with normal PS2/Xbox ones.

[QUOTE=Flash_Fire;42454950]I hope this means Sony do the same[/QUOTE] Sony already said it was supported. I lurk the PS4 subreddit.
[QUOTE=Zombie man70;42457027]Sony already said it was supported. I lurk the PS4 subreddit.[/QUOTE] yes but they do everything opposite of microsoft so ps4 is ruined!!!!

[editline]8th October 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=S31-Syntax;42455594]The Wii could also use KBM for text input. I can't think of a single game that used it, but I know its browser could.[/QUOTE] MH3U on the Wii U allows you to use a keyboard instead of the Gamepad to type messages, I have no clue if the original version on the Wii allowed you to do that.
...erm...it's a nice idea, MS, but it's not gonna make me buy an XBone. I already have a gaming machine that uses MKB input, and have had it since I was 12 or 13. You're not going to sell me a console solely because it features something computers have had since the dawn of modern PCs.

[QUOTE=Makol;42457464]MH3U on the Wii U allows you to use a keyboard instead of the Gamepad to type messages, I have no clue if the original version on the Wii allowed you to do that.[/QUOTE] It did.
I don't care for people who say, "Lol still think XBone sucks and it will never be good." In my opinion, the better one gets, the more the rival strives to improve, they are literally forced to if they want to complete. The more improvements and the more XBone gives us what we want, Sony will step up to the plate ultimately making these 2 consoles exactly what we want. We are the winners in the end.
more like just watch them do this and then copyright several things vaguely relating to it so that sony can't participate *cough*whathappenedlastgeneration
[QUOTE=diwako;42455022]The PS3 already had Mouse and Keyboard support, just the games never implemented that. I already used those on the PS3 to watch youtube videos on TV.[/QUOTE] Half-Life for PS2 had keyboard and mouse support. You can even use a USB keyboard on a 1st gen PS3 with Half-Life.

snip one sec
[QUOTE=diwako;42455022]The PS3 already had Mouse and Keyboard support, just the games never implemented that. I already used those on the PS3 to watch youtube videos on TV.[/QUOTE] The Xbox 360 also supported keyboards, for text input only tho.
Even though I'd love this to happen, it just means that controller gamers are going to be totally dominated by decent mouse/keyboard players. Maybe this would work cool with RTS/strategy games though and MMORPG's. Wasn't this the reason they never did cross-platform multiplayer: PC vs 360? The platform was already there, GFWL, but it never happened.

I really want mouse and keyboard support for consoles, I just cannot get used to controller sticks in games when it comes to trying to aim at something to shoot.
