Controller support?

[-INFAMOUS686-]

Will there be controller support/ is there, for this game? I remeber asking one of the devs for the other space hulk and they said they would implement it but never did. Thank you.

If I had to guess, I would say probably not. The plan for Ascension so far has been to keep it on PC and not port it to other consoles, so controller support might not have a good return on the time and money that would need to be invested in it.

I'm sure if they had the manpower and monetary resources to implement it, then they would. But Full Control is too small of a company to be spending the time and money making a new UI and other support code Controller Support would require if they can't sell alot of copies ofthe game to make up for the expense. You cannever say for sure though, it may be possible in the future. Best bet is to make a request for it and do so with a concise, logical argument.

I hope they do for Big picture mode. it's always nice and relaxing to pick up a controller and play a few hours on the couch. Got really excited when I read this small bit of what is or should be changing in 2015:



"SH on previous gen consoles and handhelds

What we do have though is, that we together with Hoplite Research are porting Space Hulk to some of the previous generation consoles and handhelds.

Specifically this means PS3, PS Vita and the Wii U.

Hoplite is doing the practical porting efforts, and we look very much forward to get Space Hulk out on other platforms."

The user interfaces for Space Hulk and Space Hulk Ascension do have some significant differences, but the root engine is the same for both games so it could be possible to see the controller support at a much later date for SHA if the port-over for SH Boardgame is successful. I wouldn't completely give up hope just yet, but be ready for a fairly long wait.
