Mouse/Keyboard or Controller? How will you play the game?

[Hiecchi]

According to some reviews, there is some kind of auto aiming involved which you cant deactivate (just make it worse), so is it safe to assume that the game is more for controller than mouse/keyboard?

Or do you still plan to play the game with keyboard/mouse?
By the way, there are no infos about PS5 controller support on PC for the Adaptive Trigger or doesnt AC6 support that feature at all?
Just asking bc im still trying to decide if i should play the game with my xbox pro controller or just buy a ps5controller/ use my old ps4 controller.

im gonna wait and see how the kb controls are first, but it seems to be kinda akward for controller if you have soft lock on since you have to move the right stick for camera and hit face buttons for boost and things

It's not auto-aim, it's automatic lock-on. Historically there have been manual aim weapons, but I haven't seen any make an appearance in the videos I've watched. Will most certainly have limited turn speed on mouse where it just ignores you mousing faster, so for sure controller game.

Keyboard and Mouse for me

I hope it works ok with controller.... I really want to play this on the tv.

I'll try both to see what enables the best experience, honestly.

There is an upgrade you get from area that allows manual aiming.

M&K, Logitech G502se Hero mouse (two plus one thumb buttons, two buttons near left click)

There was something in the live showcase/or a youtube vid about being able to activate and deactivate aim assist. one hard locks and reduces accuracy the other is accurate but you need to manually follow the target with the camera like old ac games. just what i saw though. soon we'll find out

I believe mouse and keyboard is the most superior means of playing, although I will be using a controller.

I thought throttling the afterburner with the triggers was nice in 4th gen, but I don't think that's a feature here.

Controller since this was always a console game.

According to a preview video on YouTube, apparently there's no aim cursor limit in AC6 so M&K will have the advantage,especially being to access all the controls at once.

Controller will have a disadvantage in not just manual aiming, but also because they will need to hold the controller awkwardly in order to optimally play due to needing to boost + camera control at the same time unless they get a controller with back buttons.

This really only matters in PVP and S-Rank speedruns, but I'd imagine if you're into that there will be separate categories for PC and console anyways.

There's no limited turn speed for mouse. Also there's an option for manual aim. Shown in a preview video. You still have to wait for your AC to actually turn so you can't do instant 180 no scopes.

I'll try both and pick the one I like best.

I'm playing it with Controller as it's how it should be played, and for the nostalgia feels..
