Fishing rod controller support?

[Troy Muni]

Hi, what type of controller do you recommend using for this game? I have an old fishing rod controller from the original xbox (Pro Fishing Challenge) and it got me thinking about finding a new rod/reel controller to try this game out with.

Fishing rod controllers usually bounded to one special fishing game. And in most cases it's a legal questions how to use them not technical. In future we have plans to support native xbox controllers as well.

So does that mean no fishing controller? You would sell twice as many copies and could even make a few bucks on the controller as well. Those controllers are so much fun to use. For the love of God, please license one!

Yes xbox pc controller support would be good idea, have it vibrate when you get a hit or fighting the reel in a fish.

well i love theidea of a fishing controller but they would have to design their own to be released for the game which would be sweet making one thats very very realistic but it would lack some very important things to make it feel real like i mean you could cast it out and it feel real but setting the hook and fighting the fish would feel empty as nothing would be pullin on it if they could replicate all of that properly that would ba amazing i have seen it done back when i was younger and lived up in indiana my grandfather was the manager and head boat salesman at a boat store/shop during the day at night her worked for general motors in a factory but every year in indianapolis there would be a boat show where all the big companies in fishing and hunting would be there his store would take some of their boats up there to display and try and sell and advertise their store but this was back in like the late 90's early 2000's there was this fishing simulator thing there that had the line goinf to some kind of pully thing or whatever that would pull on the line to make it feel real ya know i was really young so i dont and didnt really know wtf was going with it i also dont remeber anything about how they would cast when playing it but anywho i dont think that would be practicle i mean it would be okay with just a plain analog fishing controller but i would want to actually fight with the fish and feel it ya know thats most of the fun and excitement of fishing

Well technically there's no period, so it's not a sentence.

And this is a very old necro just to point that out.

Heres you fishing rod idea with feedback

Rod with buttons/gyroscope etc, then have a line attached to a hook/platform on the desk or floor which can be for the feedback.

omg that's my old post hahaha...I still have one of those controllers from the original game by Atlas, Pro Fishing Challenge on the first xbox. That was THE best fishing game, ever. Was literally an MMO on the original xbox and no one remembers it. The controller vibrated, you could set the hook for real by jerking it....it was awesome. So something like that still doesn't exist?
