Playing with a controller?

[Arts Of The Ging]

I first played this game about 10 years ago on my xbox 360 and obviously that was with a controller. Why doesnt the PC version support a controller? Did the game come out on PC before consoles?

I have tried manually configuring the joystick controls but there are not enough buttons on the controller, it thinks that the whole D-pad is 1 button.

Is there a better way to use a controller with this game?

yeah i was surprised that the store page say controller support but the options dont give enough buttons to set it up properly. kinda was hoping to use mine as well. but until then ive been using a KB/M just fine.

Ya, it is lame that the PC port of a lot of games lose the controller support they had on consoles. Not everyone plays or likes keyboard/mouse. I do hate that well keyboard/mouse is better arguement. It might be for them, but isnt for 99% of the rest.

From now on I am going to look if they have controller support if they dont I wont buy, they can just go away or learn to support controllers & keyboard/mouse.

Its a shame too, the game looks better on PC, but I would rather play it on the console cause of the controls....

And before someone suggests using Xpadder or anything like that, go away, that is not controller support, that just emulates your digital keyboard, not an analog controller.

Game was released in 2005, the console versions came later. It is funny that you complain about controller support while PC gamers complain about bad console ports.

I use pinnacle profiler you dl profiles people make and works best for fluid controls

I'm a little dissapointed myself. I literally cannot play with keyboard and mouse. I've tried with countless games, and I just can't do it. I really need controller support to play anything. Oh well I'll just watch my bf play F.E.A.R once he wakes up later. I'd hate to have wasted money.

I configured the end all be all Dualshock 4 config for FEAR and its expansions.
I could post it.
requires in game settings mouse sensitivity set to 1/10
and mouse smoothing set to 1/10.
also under controls under inventory in the menus set 'next grenade' to a period ( . )

you can lean with left and right dpad.
and slowmo is L1 for maximum twitch reflex ability
also aiming is clicking in right analog stick just like xbox 360... again for maximum twitch reflex. personally I hate holding to aim in a game like fear besides it was never designed to be held down to aim like COD

using this config I beat
fear1 on extreme
fear extract point twice on extreme
and perseus on extreme once as well.

essentially its exactly like the 360 controller
