Controller support?

[SpawN]

Great game, any chance of controller support?

I played on GPD Win 2 with a build-in gamepad and works fine, it would be nice if this game have controller support as an option so setting is more easy and I can finally use D-Pad. if you struggle playing with the controller it doesn't mean others will struggle too.

Some devs just suck and are living in the past.

Not going to throw oil on the fire here, and I respect the decision of the developers to not work on controller support, but:

I did play this game with the steam controller, and it is definitely playable like that. In fact, the steam controller works almost out of the box without any real issues - much better than with a lot of other games. At least for sp, i am sure in online play I would not be accurate enough maybe.

Another thing: with the steamdeck coming, I can imagine that a lot of players will want to try rwr with it.

The reason it works with the steam controller is because it has the trackpads, rather than relying solely on analog sticks. The Valve switch also has trackpads, iirc, so should work about as well.

I would also love controller support. I'd be playing much more if i could sit on my couch and play it on my tv.

use reWASD...will work with ease.

As well as gamers. All believe a Mouse and keyboard are superior. DEAD WRONG. 20 years ago sure, but not today. The Elite 2 is proof and my skills with it are more proof.

Very interested to see how Steam Input profiles work with the Steam Deck for this game. RWR in bed would be tits, even if it isn't ideal.

Yea, I wonder how it will go without is having to do anything on our end.
Looking at the Steam Deck design, it "could" indeed work similar to the Steam Controller.
Having a trackpad on the right side is an absolute must-have for aiming, so this is at least a good thing. As for the camera position, it might be a bit problematic. In RWR the camera is much further away than the usual top-down shooter, hence why everything could look a bit too small on the small 7 inch screen (make a screenshot of RWR and open it full screen on your smartphone to get an idea. Phones being roughly 6 inches nowadays are close enough). It could be solved by having a different camera distance but would, on the other hand, require shorter bullet decays, smaller AI view distances, etc.
Maybe someone would then do it as a mod, but it obviously wouldn't be compatible with multiplayer, and even if it would be the case, it would be frustrating compared to PC players who have a significantly further view distance.

But well, maybe the Steam Deck experience with RWR will be good enough right from scratch, as I doubt we'd spend some time in optimizations for that matter.

I am doubting you would ever do that as well ;-)

whoa

So it looks like real controller support is here with aim assist and everything.

When can we expect local Co-Op or split screen for 4?

lol..now after years you realized finally that aiming etc works with gamepads. Congratulations, you are no longer in the league of left in the stone age developers. Sarcasm aside, thanks a ton for the Update devs, better late than never.

We still definitely wouldn't have added controller support without working on a proper Steam Deck implementation and would therefore remain in the "stone age". That's just how it is.

It's almost like they ignore that the reason controller support was 'off the table' is because the game's aim system is based on cursor location, rather than just directional aim, and that it requires auto aim to handle vertical accounting with a controller, where it would still be totally inferior to mouse in actual play.

I don't doubt issues will show up as time goes on with the auto-aim grabbing the 'wrong' targets.

Local Co-op?
