Controller support ?

[Warsoul]

Still have no integrated controller support ?

[I´ve [E]nOuGh!]

this game is not made for using controllers and propably never will be.
there´s too many button needed so keyboard is a must.

[Warsoul]

I play with my ps3 6axis. Still have few buttons on keyboard but i'm still able to play with my controller.

[Nick]

How did you set it up please ? I'm having a hard time figuring out since there is no controller panel indicating a game controller can be set up.

I use a registered version of JoyToKey[joytokey.net] for all my favorite WASD-games because it is worth it.

I configure all the buttons and the stick of the left half of the game controller, on right hand I use the mouse, and for the few rest the keyboard

[Warsoul]

For my part; i use Motioninjoy

[Luhuftikus]

JoyToKey allows me to use my game controller as an additional keyboard.
So I can completely relaxed and leaning back go hunting.

Yepp, targeting with a joystick? What a horrible imagination.

[Warsoul]

Most of real warfare arsenal use flightstick for aiming, like helicopter, aircraft, artillery, tank, etc. So the sentence : Joystick or flightstick are not made to aim are simply by facts an absurdity. Sry for my english.

[Luhuftikus]

The best way to aim manually is through a computer mouse.
If I want to hit my target through a technical manner I do not play a hunting game.

[Warsoul]

The reason why engineer choosed the flightstick for aiming in real military purpose :
We need a stable devise for aiming when you are moving resulting rumble and G force.
We need a device we can handle in any position. Upside down or anything else.
We need a solid device they can work after an hit.

Imagine an mouse targeting system in any of theses criticals situations.
Rumblling at 110km/h with 3Gs lateral force. So well aimed shots !
Upside down mid loop aiming situation. Oh damm i forgot gravity !
We got hit ! Damm wheres my mouse ?

[Luhuftikus]

And what has this to do with a computer hunting game where aiming and hitting by hand is the most fun? While I am sitting at my desktop under normal G-conditions?

Again, without a technical advanced target system (software and hardware) a stick is nearly useless.

Hey, but no: This would be great fun trying to cut down a rabbit with a joystick while this rabbit is hopping to the right and to the left spontaniously!

[Warsoul]

The point is : a mouse is a pointing device not an aiming device. If you spent your time to ''AIM'' with a mouse, you choose the easiest way and all you aiming skills you develop with it can't serve you in real life. Indeed you can use mouse targeting system with armed satelite. It's almost you can do with your precious skills. So i recommend to use some devices who give you real aiming skills they can be usefull in a case of an world war.

And i'm still able to aim correclty with my ps3 controller when i play Hunter. It's harder for sure. But wich kind of hardcore gamer like it easier ?

Really, that is the point. Using a pointing device for targeting spontaneously moving objects is a 1:1 translation of my hand movements like in real life when I take a gun into my hands.
(Btw, I do not play theHunter because I want to become a good hunter in real life. I do it for fun.)

In fact you suggest to use a special weapon or whatever device with a stick controlled target system to go hunting? - You are very funny!

And the fun goes on: "...in a case of an world war".
Do we still talk about a video game about hunting sport?

- Okay, I agree! I am completely wasting my time when I play theHunter with mouse. And this silly practise of myself is to blame when I will be the first one who is dead in case of a war.
What a tragedy!

Yes, of course, only with a special piece of software.
And since you are continuously ignoring that no one wants a technical advanced target system in a video game about hunting sport, I will ignore your further comments.

Can't wait til the AH-64's released..

Sounds like this game is abandonware. I hope someday they learn to add controller support if their going to be in the video game industry :P
