Thanks, really appreciate it. I am sincere about keyboard not working, we would never have made it controller only if we could figure a way to get the game to be playable with keyboard mouse. We did try, we failed, we know it will cost us sales.

That's a nice sentiment, at least you thought about us KB & mouse fossils. Good luck with the prtfolio! :)

Look at the controller as just another tool for the PC. At the end of the day you're still using a PC once you put the controller down and not stuck with some derp console.

I used to be anti everything console and am still of the belief that they are holding the quality of games back because they've become the primary design platform for almost all genres but I digress.

Having bought a rather cheap Xbox 360 for windows controller I must admit everything car related in any game feels better. I was playing Mafia 2 with controller driving and keyboard/mouse when not in a car. Like I said, just look at it as a tool for your versatile PC.

Also, playing the (cricket) demo it becomes immediately clear that the controller is the ideal method of control for this game and not because it's a console port.

Well said.
I used a controller on a Computer way before I had a console.... way way back...

Why would anybody want to use a keyboard and mouse to play a cricket game is beyond me.

Consider this. I have a physical disability and as part of that i can only use one hand. I can not use a controller i need a keybaord so the game for me i can not play this. Which is a real shame. Something the devs need to consider when developing games people with physical disabilitys do play PC games.

grats and no thanks.. you might as well just bin your PC, I'll stay old skool.

[edit] ..in retrospect, that seems a bit uncharitable. I think there IS a place for controllers in PC gaming, I just hope it doesn't become ubiquitous.

We do consider disabilities when we make our games. Indeed we have people come in to test for us, including those with Colour Blindness.

We could not find a way to make the game playable, in our opinion, for keyboard and mouse.

While that is great that you get some people with disability's to test your game you obviously didn't count on a scenario where a person with a physical disability like the use of one hand only wouldn't be able to play your games.

I also don't believe you cant get this to work on a keyboard and mouse. Everything is configurable. EA Cricket series you were able to use a keyboard and mouse.

Perhaps in the future when you develop games you will take my problem into consideration and i will even come and test it for you if you are in Australia.

I am glad to i didnt buy this game as i would have a big argument trying to get a refund for the game.

You need 360 degree movement on both feet and bat - this cannot be achieved in real time with a keyboard/mouse combination.

I often hope that the devs, out of a malicious desire to silence these people, do indeed develope the keyboard and mouse controls so that we can all have a good laugh at their expense.
For God's sake its a controller not a renuciation of your relligion or beliefs!!!

Too bad if you only have one functioning hand to play the game. Would you be laughing at my expense.

Has anyone tried using this for pc games http://ahkscript.org/ Auto hot key. I would be interested if some one was able to make a script for DB. I have sleeping dogs and i had the same trouble as the keyboard had limited configurations. So some one made me a script at the forums.

[moosc]

No not laughing at your expence at all. In fact have great sympathy and respect for your condition and the problems you must encounter in day to day Life.

However Considerring that the comment you quoted was posted in 30th June this year and well before your comments then I can say that you have taken the comment out of context and it therefore appears offensive and demeaning to you.

IIRC the comment was made after several posts across a number of threads that bemoaned the non-availability of the Keyboard and mouse for use in game. Despite the Developers explaining that the controller was required because of the unique 360 degree shot making ability of the game.

These people persisted long after any reasonable person having the facts would have desisted in their complaining. I was therefore prompted to reply in the sarcastic nature of the quoted comment.

Respectivly

The controller works great on ps3 you guys not buying it because of this is your loss.

Some people (i.e. ME) can't really be bothered installing their controllers on it :'(

Well thats just lazy, a full 6 degrees of freedom can be achived easily with keyboard only - even without a mouse. And more accurately than any controller ever could achieve - Elite 1984 acheived this along with numerous flight and space sims from 20 years ago.
