Support NeoGAF

[5amshift]

A game pretty much under Microsoft's wing is able to be used with Xbox controllers? Not surprised.

Is there a cable version of the X1 controller? Or is it wireless only? I'd like to try it, but I hate dealing with batteries.

All you need is a Micro USB cable. They are very cheap on Amazon, got one of their branded ones for my Xbox One controller. Works great.

Segregate controller players from kb/m!

This better release with complete drivers to replace the 360 pad or it's pointless... I'm in need of a new PC controller, but I'm not gonna buy one for just one game.

Yes, that will be the case. They are making sure the controller works with all games that support the Xbox 360 controller.

I'm going to grab this on origin, grab an X1 pad and pretend I'm playing on the X1. That's a few bucks saved.

Spoiler

Well, that's until Quantum Break comes out, as I'm fucking crazy about Remedy.

Correction: Turns out this was a mistake on Respawn's part, according to a spokesperson. In an updated tweet, and a follow up with Polygon, a Respawn spokesperson said they meant it would support the Xbox 360 controller, not the Xbox One controller.

Oh goddammit.

lol geez

The XB1 controller isn't even supported by MS on PC yet, anyway. Waiting on Steam Controller support.

 

[Edvardelis]

Microsoft already has an API for 360 controllers on the PC, it's called XInput.

It's been around forever. Lots of games support it. It works perfectly.

There are even compatible Logitech controllers (F310/F510/F710).

Segregate controller players from kb/m!

Thats really my biggest issue with shooters on pc. I like the feeling of playing with a controller, but I don't like getting destroyed by kb/m players. So I'm basically forced to use kb/m on pc in order to enjoy the multiplayer. Day one for me if they figure out a way to segregate kb/m from controller players.

Awesome! I can't wa---

FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

We're slated to get XB1 controller drivers on PC this year though right? Man, Microsoft come the fuck on.

haha, well that's fine. If I were to use a controller, I'd vastly prefer the 360 controller anyway. For me it's DS4 > 360 >>> XBO > WiiU Gamepad >>>> DS3 >>> Wiimote

TITLE CHANGE time! lol

 

[Chance Hale]

Damn it, Microsoft really need to get the XBO controller drivers out. My favorite by far and I'd really love to be using it on the PC.

 

[Ricerocket]

I'm actually amazed that a controller can't have basic driver support for button inputs. What is the X1 controller doing different from a 360 controller?

 

[Rizific]

Have no intentions on using a controller on pc for TF, but the actual drivers for the x1 controller have me excited.

That's my biggest issue with playing on PC as well. I'm looking to get a used 360 for this game, would rather just play it on PC with my 360 controller.

 

[Ryaaan14]

God dammit. This thread ruined my day.

 

[Mononoke]

Sweet, easy kills.

Eh. Bumper Jumper layout does a pretty good job emulating keyboard and mouse. It's not perfect, and I'm not saying it's as accurate. Obviously it's not. But it's pretty darn good. The default setting for the controller is terrible though. You can't run on a wall and jetpack and aim at the same time. Bumper jumper will be like keyboard and mouse, in that you will be able to run on walls, and jetpack while aiming and shooting at someone at the same time.

 

[AJLma]

This is hilarious.

I'd assume that they'd like to recoup that $100 million they spent developing the controller. I doubt I'm the only person ready to buy one of these day one as soon as I hear the drivers are ready.

Maybe they're just trying to give Valve a leg up.
