Hello everyone. Does anyone think Sony or the developers would ban players for using these online. In essence it could be abused like modded controllers in the online environment.

Agree = Yes they could ban for using it.
Disagree = No they won't ban for using it.

hikayu5667d ago

wait for sony's official word on it .

OhReginald5667d ago

I as well want to hear what sony has to say about it.

Pandamobile5667d ago

It would be stupid of Sony to ban the Eagle Eye.

Aggesan5667d ago

They can't, haven't and won't ban people for using these kind of hardware converters.

First of all, I've been using a XFPS-converter since something like 2 years back and they haven't banned anyone so far, so why would they now? Anyway, it's actually not really like playing with mouse and keyboard for the PC, and I'm still getting better scores with my dualshock 3.

Second: Not a big percentage of players use these devices so it's not really worth the hustle for the developers to develop software that would block the devices or ban the users.

Third: It's not really possible to detect people using the converters since all they do is sending signals to the PS3 identical to those from the dualshock 3/sixaxis. Hence, they can't ban the people using them even if they would want to.

that would suck as i have a whole selection of saturn pads and classic arcade sticks hooked up using usb.

they could ban especially if they start to scan at boot up looking for ps3 jailbreaks..

i think devs shoudl just open the console games to support keyboards and mice and ahole devs should allow more gamepad support.. damn keyboard elitist bastards.. making me jump through hurdles to play a game the way i want.. how are you going to have a game on console and pc but not allow the pc version to use a game pad and a console version to use a keyboard? it makes no sense

Valay5667d ago

I just don't know about peripherals. I haven't bought many for any of my systems.

Newtype5667d ago

Wow, that's cool. SC2 is possible on PS3 with that device.

ChozenWoan5667d ago

Actually, the PS3 has had usb keyboard and mouse support from day one. It's up to the devs to use them.

TardcoreGamer5667d ago

I think that its fine if the pc guys want to use them..they will still die by my hands and a dual shock 3. they have no real advantage against a trained veteran!

Pandamobile5667d ago

Except for lots more precision and faster reflexes :)

ChronoJoe5667d ago

Which is of course fair, when you're playing with a group of people who're using controllers?

Where's the sense of achievement? there isn't one, it'll be as shallow as playing with AI.

Pandamobile5667d ago

I can't enjoy FPS games on my PS3. I just get frustrated and rage quit after 1-2 games of Killzone 2 due to the shitty controls. I'd be able to enjoy the game a lot more with a mouse and keyboard, so that's what I plan to do.

ChronoJoe5667d ago

Uh.. are you stupid?

Killzone 2 is an awful example, since you'll still be locked to the in-game sensitivity (uber slow), and high deadzones.

If you want to use it, you'll need to play games like Call of Duty that let you control the in-game sensitivity to a decent degree. That's why they demo call of duty.
