Control question

[jmill565]

Will we be able to use the 360 controler like champions? I was never really a game pad fan but I like how it works with champions.

It's the same engine as CO and they plan for console release same as CO. I would say this is more than plausible.

I hope so they have addicted me to it with CO.

Here is a more official response from the latest Q&A


Ten Ton Hammer: I wanted to ask you about supporting peripherals. Champions Online makes great use of an XBox controller. A lot of games that have a flying element to them have support for head-tracking peripherals and other gadgets. Have you decided on what kind of peripherals the games going to support yet?

Communication and coordination will play an important role in STO combat, but specific peripheral and addon support remains a question mark.

Craig: We haven't announced any deals or any official support yet. But, yeah, we're definitely looking in the X360 controller, because a lot of people have those and they work really well. As well as, I mean, joysticks
and other controllers like that, but I don't have any announcements right now. We'll try to get as many in as possible before we have to ship, and then keep adding them in afterwards as the community asks for support.

Good news. I love using the X360 controller on CO. I can't go back to the traditional keyboard controls now. The controller also makes it more fun, as it gives CO an action game feel.

I agree, I was never a controller fan befoer CO, but found it very useful there and really hope to see it iin STO as well.
