Awesome! Even though I will not be getting for the PS3 (the PC version FTW!!) I am SUPER happy about the PS3 supporting a keyboard and mouse setup.

Now if I can just get microsoft to pull their heads out of their asses and support K&M for games like Command and Conquer I will be a very happy man.

Very nice, that would be funny if Sony re-released the playstation mouse

Kleptic6899d ago

haha i remember that thing...I was like 12 when I got my first PS a little after it launched...and i thought it was awesome that it had a available mouse (the picture was on the box)...

didn't only one game use that thing? I thought it was some kind of music thing, and you needed the mouse to do something...a friend of mine actually bought that thing, and needless to say he was a bit upset at the fact that it did...well...absolutely nothing...

Yea I thought it was PSN release for a second.

razer6899d ago (Edited 6899d ago )

So doesn't really mean squat to me. Nice to see the support though I guess. MS really needs to open up and allow people to use a Mouse(they already support keyboard) so they have that option as well. MS is concerned about balance, yet Sony seems to take a who cares approach and leaves it up to the devs. For Shadowrun on the 360 the PC players get their ass handed too them more so than not and complain that keyboard people have to be gimped. Expect a ton of complaints and low review scores if that balance isn't perfect.

I don't really like Mouse and Keyboard either but alot of people do and they let you turn the option off where you dont' have to play with someone using a K/M....way to go Sony for giving options to your fans

Kleptic6899d ago (Edited 6899d ago )

a "who cares approach"...haha...

So you think that MS is taking a "concern about balance" approach with their hardware?...by changing standard protocols for PC accessories, despite using a USB 2.0 connection...So people look at a 360, and read the specs, and say "2 USB ports...awesome"...only to find out that basically nothing without the Xbox logo on it works with the console...

Epic said that the function of the keyboard and mouse could be turned off on the PS3...so if you only want to play people with a controller...you can...if you only want to play people with M/K...you can...

This game gets some really funny reactions from the xbox crowd...First it was "Epic stabbed us in the back"...then it was "well we don't really care about user generated content anyway...XBL rulez...lets go get drunk..."...and now its "We don't like using a K/M"...never admitting that all of these features at least do not hurt the game...if this stuff was also coming to the 360, people wouldn't be like "that sucks...I am not buying it now"

gEnKiE6899d ago

Im loving this game more and more everytime i hear about it and i was excited when i seen the first screen shot of it...

Whoooop6899d ago

The only way I would've consider this game was if they supported mouse and keyboard.

This game is way too fast to be played with analogs IMO, besides FPS's always feel much better with M&K.

Tech Focus - Motion Blur: Is It Good For Gaming Graphics?

Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?

TheOptimist2920d ago

I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.

XentaJones2919d ago

motion blur makes me sick... so its off.

OpenGL2919d ago

I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

TheSplooge2919d ago

I always turn it off. Along with depth of field.

Mr_Wilson2919d ago

Those plus vignetting, chromatic aberration, and film grain.

Let’s be Honest, DOOM Looks like the Best First Person Shooter We’ve Seen in Ages

Alex from GamersFTW writes:

“In all seriousness though, I feel like DOOM’s success will be measured by how much the game has to offer. Graphically it’s looking spectacular, and I’m sure the latest multiplayer trailer caught all of our attention. Personally, the game is beginning to remind me of those late nights playing Unreal Tournament 3, which is totally a good thing. This, in addition to the promise of user-generated content, is making DOOM look like the best first-person shooter I’ve seen in ages.”

The campaign looks brilliant, like a true nostalgia trip to the original DOOM titles of old! The multiplayer equally looks like a trip down memory lane to fast-paced and frantic arena games a-la Quake, and honestly the MP REALLY makes me want to the get game at launch to capitalise on the hype. Problem is I'm not overly fussed with multiplayer typically in games, they can get weary after a while, and buying a game solely for its MP is risky - especially on console - as it's heavily dependant on the community!

Rock to my left, hard place to my right..

EDIT: On the MP note, does anyone know if it'll have bots available, similar to Unreal Tournament 3? I still give that a quick play time to time with bots (and all the mad mutators).

c00lvilKid693750d ago

I’m exactly the same, usually multiplayer games are of no interest to me. But DOOM has sparked my curiosity, especially as someone who used to enjoy multiplayer first person shooters like Quake/Unreal. Totally understand your concerns about it being heavily dependant on the community, too. Which is just another reason they should include bots, in case the numbers need to be made up. I’m hoping the community will be good, considering the creative freedoms they’re handing over with the SnapMap thing.

Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL

wakeNbake3750d ago

Well thats just a low budget turd, no comparison at all.

mezati993750d ago

i am gonna have to agree with this
