No it's not unless mouse and keyboard come with the console. Well, at least in practice that's the way it goes.


Not true, Wii U doesn't come default with a Pro controller or Wii Remote yet some games require it. PS3/Xbox360 don't come default with Move/Kinect yet some games require it.


Hmmm...I have 9 retail Wii U games and 4 eShop games and none of them require a Pro controller unless you want to play multi player...and the PS3/360 would then also require an additional controller.



Stop hating and start playing.

Good to know that he watched the PS4 presentation to be able to make such an astute observations.

However, I too would like to see Total War on consoles. As long as we pretend like Stormrise didn't happen.


Creative Assembly have a second team working on an Alien game for next-gen consoles, so he has access to dev kits.

Feelin' them positive vibes, yo.

They could use the move to port their strategy games that rely heavily on pointer.

You're an adapted PC!

I have no idea about those Wii U controllers as I'm not at all interested in the console, but that Move/Kinect comparison doesn't work. Why? Because of some serious advertising. There's just no way mouse and keyboard could become at all popular on consoles without some heavy marketing, and I don't see it happening any time soon. In practice, it would be a financial suicide to require mouse and keyboard because no one uses them.


They don't have to require a mouse and keyboard. They can just make it an option like Dust 514.

 

Also, nobody uses a mouse and keyboard???

Umm... I believe the point was requiring mouse and keyboard. If it's just an option, there has to be a control scheme for controllers and for some games, it requires some dumbing down. Total War might just work with a controller but really, I can't see it being much fun if they try to keep the experience close to original. And let's face it: Changing too much would alienate the PC crowd and still probably not bring enough new customers, and in its current form, Total War has no place on consoles.

Also, no one uses mouse and keyboard on consoles. Well, I'd like you to read that as 'practically no one' because that's what I mean. On PC, mouse and keyboard are naturally the choice in most cases, though controllers seem to have grown their popularity.

It wasn't in Japan! Have they changed that?

The media spinning things in favor of Sony as usual. ALL CONSOLES ARE ADAPTED PCs.

@Eurogamer, Get a life.

I guess so. They have gamepad support.  Off-tv capabilities coming in April too.
