Unless they start mass producing the Keyboards and mice :P Plus not ALL games support mouse and keyboard, I'm just wondering why some of the shooters out there don't ^^

It would be a nice option for many FPS games but it will only appeal to a small part of the market that would want to go through the trouble to setup a mouse and keyboard in their living room and the much smaller group that would do it on a computer desk. The other problem is the afore mentioned online fairness problem. You don't want the KB/M players chasing your controller jockeys off of servers.

I give this thread a 9.6. 

 Yeah it would only appeal to a fraction of the people playing, but I could easily immagine the more "hardcore FPS demographic" jumping all over something like that :P Plus if it's already an option for PC, why not just toss the feature in ^^ it would play and control just as well as the PC version minus the graphical tweaking. I can't immagine it being much effort to add the code. 

Your score seems awfully high :P I call shenanigans ;/ 

It changes things more than you think. Game balancing for KB/M is different then controller. Weapon targeting usually has to be tweaked. Many weapons on console shooters are designed with the controller in mind. When people use them on a KB/M, they feel clunky and not accurate enough. Also, if a weapon was purpusefully made to be difficult to be accurate with, it's possible that with a mouse it can become more useful and again make the game an inconsistent experience from mouse to controller. Although it may be a good thing for many games that don't need and shouldn't have it, it also prevents the developer from using motion controls for anything. They would have to adapt it to the KB/M setup.

I give that post a 9.3.

Because as much as people bitch not enough people would bother actually doing it to justify the effort.

They want you to buy Sixaxis/DS3 controllers! Sony doesn't make money off of other people selling pc peripherals.

I've never used the keyboard and mouse combination, so i dont get why everyone says its the best method for a FPS...

This is a fantastic reply and a very well thought out statement in my opinion. This puts a bit of limelight on the situation :P I still think for games that show up on the PC like COD4 and what not should still have a mouse option, but I can see a bit better why they wouldn't include it :D

@Smubu, isn't Sony one of the only companies that strongly supports the notion of 3rd party hardware? Them and logitech are good ol' buddies and pals :D

@Twesterm, well the only game that I can think of that really supports it is UT3, and that didn't sell too hot on the PS3 XD If more games had it I'm sure the feature would be a little more popular.  

Um... for more reasons that are worth explaining in a post, but mostly because with a mouse you can turn, look, and aim instantly.  With a Jorstick you are fighting with moving your targeting reticule in another direction at a limited speed and never to the exact spot you are trying to aim.

Honestly I want someone to make a KB&M PS3 game with cross-controller support so I can show all these console gamers the difference it makes... it's not a small diference.
