Mouse/Keyboard or Controller?
Hey, guys, I was wondering what you are using, mouse and keyboard or a controller.

I still have an old Playstation analog stick controller lying around here, I was wondering if it is worth buying an USB adapter for it.

My biggest concern is aiming with the stick though, is that working well?
Are the breaking free wiggle QTEs easier with a stick?
Also, does the vibration work for in RE6?

Using a PS3 controller was too much trouble tbh, trust me I know..I tried to get the bindings for it and it just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up (I use MotionJoy to use it for my PC < This worked but the bindings had been weird). I just ended up using my 360 Controllerf for the Xbox360 and it's much better but I still miss using my PS3 controller lol
You can try using it though.
The stick I'm not sure 100% about, but it should be good and using analouges for QTE's is much easier tbh.
Yeah Vibration does work by the way.

Both. Keyboard + Mouse in Mercinaries. For other game modes - controller, especially Agent Hunt.

Not a good idea. X360 controller is better choice.

Matter of habit. This will have to work out, get used to.

Nope, QTE's (with stick on controller) easier on keyboard, such as releases.

Yep, it's work fine on X360 compatible controller.

I have a PS3 controller hooked up with a USB cable. Got MotionInJoy. It's works like a charm for QTE and escape scenes.

However, when I play Mercenaries, I like to swap to keyboard for the super easy cheese aiming.

Like your previous thread, Controller+Crosshair+Controlled Burst Fires+Selective Shooting. It works.

In RE5 controller was useful. In RE6 - not.

I have an old Playstation 1 analog stick, but that should be the same as the PS2 one, except for not being black, right?

What's MotionInJoy?

It's a program that allows you to use a PS3 controller as a PC controller. It can also emulate the Xbox 360's controller scheme. When I play, I see Xbox buttons inputs.

Do I even need that for my old PS controller? A USB-adapter should be enough, then you can configure everything else in game, I thought.

I have a crappy old joystick I abuse as a footswitch for the microphone button, and that thing works right when you plug it in.

I don't think you can use an old PS1 controller on PC. You'd need one hell of a special plug for that. >.<

It's identical with the PS2 controller, just grey instead of black. Same plugs and everything, and there are USB adapters for that.

I suggest you just buy a new Xbox or PS3 controller. Even if you do get the USB plug for it, there's no garantee it'll work nicely with RE6. Just sayin'....

I just read up on that. The controller I have is the Dualshock I, the Dualshock II has pressure-sensitive buttons, that's the only difference. Apparently it doesn't work with games on the PS2 that use this feature, but it should work just fine on a PC. Even my crappy joystick could be used as controller, and that thing definitely has the cheapest buttons ever.

I use the mouse and keyboard. I feel like using any controller would hinder my aim, and would overall lack any benefits. Plus, my mouse has three buttons I can program with macros that allow me to perform any QTEs (including breaking away from an enemy) at probably the fastest possible speed without that tapping, or spinning fuss. Good stuff.

If you want to use a PS3 controller - download the drivers for Motionjoy 0.7.1001, then download Better DS3, it is offline and works like a charm. After it is working, you can uninstall Motionjoy, if you need multiple USB ports used, hook up the con to the ones you want, install the drivers via Motionjoy before you uninstall, run Better DS3 and you should be good to go.
