Just curious if/how anyone handles playing FPSes on consoles. My first FPS games would have been GoldenEye and Turok games on N64, which have okay-to-awkward control schemes. Turok’s basically the southpaw WASD + joystick aiming, which isn’t too bad. Then probably played Halo 1/2 on a friend’s XBOX and later COD4 on PS3/360, so I didn’t really have any opportunity to use KB+M ever until I pirated Half-Life years later, which I think I was even using the trackpad, not even a mouse with it. Although I started PC gaming after that and lost my abilities by a large margin. Really prefer KB+M but I put some thumbstick extenders on my controller(s) right sticks and that helps a lot. I notice how much gamers bristle at learning new control schemes. Only thing I really don’t like is mouse games like RTS on controller. Also don’t get why '90s consoles frequently had mouse accessories and support while later consoles seemed to do away with them when FPS and RTSes got even more popular if anything.
I found this Piranha FX mouse controller thing for PS3 for really cheap at a game store and decided to try it out and it’s neat. It converts controller inputs to a mouse with a left-handed half-controller thing.
So do only certain games support the Gyro + Flick Stick thing? That seems cool.
On consoles yeah, not every game supports it, but there’s an increasing number of games that do, I think almost all the big shooters do support it on the PS5 right now, tho not every implementation is good. Fortnite is considered the gold standard for the implementation. On PC you can use it on any game by using Steam Input, but there are games on PC that also support it natively, which is preferred. Boomerang X is the first game to ever do it.
