I hope MS's next patch renders this useless. There are plenty of PC games for M/K fans.

Not when it comes to accuracy, in any way shape or freeform, sorry.

That's what I used to think. I used to think that controller was only superior in terms of movement.

But after playing around with XNA I realize that the analog sticks are extremely sensitive and the accuracy is amazing.

So I wouldn't label it as an accuracy issue, but rather the fact that our thumbs simply do not have the capacity to be that precise. Whereas using a mouse with our wrists benefit from a large range of movement, thus we can reduce the sensitivity to match our skills.

Ie. Two millimeter movement with a mouse translates to 0.2 millimeter movement on an analog stick. Most gamers aren't at that point in skill yet, and I think most gamers will never reach that sort of skill.

I think games like GRAW and GoW that allow you to have variable sensitivities during gameplay overcome this issue. Lost Planet is another example, though it does it a bit differently.

looks like you need a *wired* controller to sync the XFPS, a P&C Cable with a wireless controller won't do

To be honest if it works as smoothly or even close to as smooth as a mouse does, I'm all for it. I hate console FPS so this could make all the wonderful shooters playable for me.

Those videos look like shit, steer clear. Waay too much lag and it doesnt seem to be any better than the older version of it

But a controller can be just as good if not better for FPSs than a Keyboard and mouse! More comfortable too!

You're...kidding right? There's no way you actually mean that.

You're...kidding right? There's no way you actually mean that.

What he said was pretty accurate, just like a controller!

Anyways, I'd love it if there was actually a Nunchuck + Mouse solution. That seems absurdly ideal for games that don't need 50 bazillion keys on a keyboard.

Wonder how Gears plays with this...?
