a mouse.  If you look at the Dev walkthroughs, gameplay looks to be a combination of SCUMM games (for exploring) and Dragons Lair (fighting/action events).  Obviously, the moving/investigating/speech choices have been adapted for a joystick, but they could be done very well point and click style.  The action events (QTE) would have to be rethought out a bit, but could still be done with movements and button presses.

Being a huge fan of Lucasarts adventure games (DoTT expecially), I would love a resurgence of these types of games.  Hell, with that level of graphics, I would like to see a new interactive Indy adventure - think Fate of Atlantis with Heavy Rain production qualities.

Now, I'm sure some of the true "fans" of the game will come in and bash this post, and I mean no offense, but - if you think about it - it could really work.

And, if a mouse would work, what about motion controls - that is relatively easy to add to a mouse game.

I think that it'll be a huge win for either Sony or Microsoft if they enable mouse+keyboard controls (via USB) for their respective consoles. That can open them up to a huge number of PC exclusive games (most notably RTS's such as Empire: Total War).

I love old PC games that I play (since my computer can now handle them), but I don't want to pay 1000 (or whatever it costs)+ for a gaming PC (and people complain that the PS3 is expensive...)

If it plays anything like Indigo Prophecy then it could easily work on PC, since... Indigo Prophecy was also on PC...

crazyman is that you?

Don't be crazzy

Yes, it is me, but I am not the "you" you are looking for.

@De85 - it looks to play similarly, but there would definitly need to be some retooling of the UI.  I am merely hoping they do that, and seeing what other VGC members think of the idea.

PS3 already has this. But no developers use this.. except Unreal Tournament 3. It supports mouse and keyboard.

Sony has had mouse support since the ps1.

O.o Sony's totally not taking advantage of this opportunity. They should work out deals to make developers enable mouse and keyboard, talk with Creative Assembly and other RTS companies to port their games, and hype up how you can play FPS's with keyboard/mouse. Hell, they could even sell PS3 keyboard/mouses to make easy money off of idiots.

God dammit Sony >.<

Console game + KB+M = PC game.

Besides, allowing KB+M support in FPS would make it unfair for people using a controller, like they are meant to.

Hence increasing their sales of their "special" and overpriced Sony keyboard+mouse.

And while you're right in that replacing the controls will make the PS3 even closer to a PC (especially with Linux capabilities), that actually sounds like a good thing. You pretty much have a PC where you don't have to worry about being an expert and getting parts, and the high price tag, but still being able to play games that are really only suited for the PC (RTS's for example. I'll love to play ES with kb+mouse).
