Game released for consoles. Can we get controller support at last?

[Zeev]

Any chance these lazy devs will release a controller support for PC version after they released this game for consoles?

In most cases games nowdays get controller support for PC versions after they are ported to consoles.

No one is being lazy. The devs are just long gone.

Runic studio was closed a couple of years ago by the publisher Perfect World.

What you're seeing here - the porting of TL2 to consoles - is the result of some other external porting team paid by perfect world so they can amass a bit more money from the franchise.

Don't expect them to do anything for the PC version. The support has been abysmal since Runic was closed. Because they were the ones doing the support mostly and I guess perfect world didn't care enough to replace them.

I mean look around. Are you seeing any community manager or dev from perfect world ? Nothing. PF just abandoned TL2 for PC is the way I see it.

I wouldn't trust any further game developed by Perfect World when I see how this one has been neglected once it stopped making enough money..

Sorry for the rant. But maybe I'm wrong. I hope to be proven wrong actually ! I just doubt it's gonna happen

perfect world is behind gunfire games "remnant from the ashes"

gunfire games says the game is expected to have a long life span. heres hoping.

Oh but if the game is successful and many people buy it, it will have a long lifetime. They will just drop support as soon as the studio stop making enough revenue for them

Perfect world have always been ♥♥♥♥ publishers. Don't expect them to go back and fix it, especially considering I've been seeing horror stories about issues on the switch version.

Perfect World will ruin the Torchlight franchise. They new Torchlight is going to be FTP...even the alpha has microtransactions.

I've bought it for the Xbox One X and it really is a dreadful port. Frame rate issues aside the controller implementation is absolutely horrible.

Give developers time to fix it.

[potterman28wxcv]

Did the developers of the Xbox One X port acknowledge the problems, and said they were going to fix it?

Which is weird, because I remember the xbox version of torchlight 1 being pretty good controls wise.

There's been patches rolled out or scheduled on all 3 Consoles and it seems more will be required.

Yes, people from PW have responded on the Discord about patch dates and players have been using various Forums to post their findings.

Yeah it is bad, framerate is horrible when the screen gets busy.

I guess chances aren't very high to get controller support but since the game has mod support, wouldn't it be somehow possible to mod it into the game? Preferably the same controller support that the console versions got. At least xbox controller. ARPG's are just great on the controller, perfect couch games.

This is what we have for controller mods from the past:

I've read on console you can't swap weapons and the controls are messed up and you can't transmute at npc who even makes a comment about needing a patch.
