How I Played Killzone 3 With A Mouse

When I first reviewed the Splitfish FragFX Shark I was extremely happy to roll over years Counter-Strike skills on the PC back to console games. The Splitfish line of controllers allowed my precise mouse movements to be translated into analog movements and I found a new love for console first person shooters.

Next thing we'll see articles like "How I played Killzone 3 with Kinect"

...oh wait, nevermind, that'd look retarded.

awiseman5555d ago

Thats so off topic....its just trolling

andrew1719945555d ago

sad to say its probably goin to happen with all people hackin the system now

killcycle5555d ago

Frag FX don't get rid of the weight system, it just changes your right stick to a mouse.

I find the pad much more precise with a DS3 but now Kz3 is here the Move just seems to perform better then them both for me.

I dont follow xbox360 articles. whats the point

For proper KB+M support you need a better input device since all games have different view lock.

XIM3 for the 360 is a good example.

CyberCam5555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

The PenguinUnited Eagle Eye makes the FragFx, Fragenstein and all other imitations irrelevant! It has fully adjustable deadzone to totally eliminate the zigzaging the others are plague with and the game doesn't need to be coded any special way. Also, you can use almost any mouse & keyboard you feel comfortable with.

duplissi5555d ago

... im pretty sure my fragfx has an adjustable deadzone.

RBLAZE19885555d ago

That is so true man. I had a splitfish and returned it the next day. What a shoddy product. It was worse than playing with analogue sticks. I use the eagle eye converter and it feels 98% like playing on a pc. I pray that nobody here falls for this product after they read my comment. If you want to try mouse and keyboard on ps3 get the eagle eye convertor.

theonlylolking5555d ago

XIM3 is easily the best of them. If only there was a PS3 version of it.

@anyone who reads this

I know about eagle eye and fragFX but they are not as good as the XIM3.

CyberCam5555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

WOW! From the looks of it... it's going cost about as much a console! Great to see that they got rid of having to use a pc along side with it and having the ability to store 50 configurations is very cool!

Unfortunately, I'm not a 360 gamer.

RBLAZE19885555d ago

Actually there are xim3 adapters for the ps3. I think you might be confused.

adamthecarolla5555d ago

if only the Obsiv would release the dam XIM 3 already! get some volunteers!

andrew1719945555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

i just wish they would make mor console games like unreal tournement 3 where u can use a keyboard and mouse, mod the game, and actually have funn :)

RBLAZE19885555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

I can't understand why devs don't give the option for mouse and keyboard on the ps3. Even sony's first party devs. They should be the ones leading the way with this option i mean it is a supported control scheme on ps3 and not the 360...they could use it to get people on the side of the ps3. They would sell a lot more copies if they had this. I wish i worked at one of these companies so I could smack the decision makers.

badz1495555d ago

but they do make DS3 and MOVE! they obviously want to sell those but good enough not blocking any 3rd party peripherals like kb+m to work with the PS3! plus, it's all about console gaming and controllers are the way to go on console.

RBLAZE19885555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

It was an advertised feature. If you think that playing fps games with a controller is better than a mouse and keyboard you need help. Also why not give the option and split up the matchmaking for each control method like they do between ds3 and move.

Also sony could make a mouse and keyboard peripheral to sell and make money.

badz1495555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

why's the need to be so defensive? I said it's just that Sony is focusing everything on consoles because they are supporting PS2, PSP, PS3 and soon to come the NGP and the main purpose of gaming on console is to be away from kb+mouse! although it's an advertised feature, Sony has no obligation to utilize it in their games just like how youtube upload feature are not being utilized by 99.9% of games out there!

it's not like you're restricted with controller on the PS3. you can still use kb+m if you want to although special add-ons are required but yeah, most console gamers prefers controllers over kb+m because if that's not the case, they all would've been a dedicated pc gamer in the 1st place!

"Also sony could make a mouse and keyboard peripheral to sell and make money."

why would they do that? you think they can compete with dirt cheap kb+m available on the market today? NOT A CHANCE!

solidworm5555d ago

Lol PC gamers want the tech to do the aiming,....no skill required.

zeph945555d ago

Thats why consoles have auto-aim built in....

andrew1719945555d ago

true that, thats why most players on consoles wen it comes to real games they suck

theonlylolking5555d ago

That is what I hate. It messes up my aim instead of fixing it.

Stationfan5555d ago

Believe it or not with proper calibration Move will give you the KB mouse feeling, but feel even better because the aesthetics and trigger button. It will take practice but once you get the hang of it its a beast.

The thing is people will knock it because the won't get used to it first day, and act like if kb and mouse clicked first day.

LunaticBrandon5555d ago

Move does not come close to the precision of a mouse but it definitely is way more precise than I thought possible.

Dark_king5555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

Actually the move is as precise as a mouse.But because your actually holding it up your supporting weight this tends to make you more inaccurate.If you remove the human element they are however both as precise as each other.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic528d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23528d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1528d ago (Edited 528d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger519d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1094d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1094d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1094d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491093d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381094d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim1094d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1094d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381094d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1094d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761094d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301094d ago (Edited 1094d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger1094d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1094d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1094d ago (Edited 1094d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1094d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1094d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1845d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1845d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1845d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1845d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1845d ago
Vegamyster1845d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1845d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1845d ago (Edited 1845d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1845d ago

I rather play it when it's available then wait 10 years.

MadLad1844d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1845d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Been playing mgo on pc with mouse. It's not perfect but I can make it work.

2 is the better game.

A Remake would be good. 60fps 2-4k

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
