HEXUS.tv :: XCM XFPS 360: Console FPS played properly

[BlueMagician]

This looks awesome to me! The only thing that has ever put me off consoles like the EggBox, is the the lack of Keyboard & Mouse control for games such as FPS's.

Comments like: "People with keyboard and mouse have is so easy over *most* controller people" really annoy me!

I fail to see how adding the option of an arguably better method of control to a console, whilst simultaneously giving the 'saw-thumb' generation a taste of how well a game can be played, is anything but a good thing, or unfair in any way.

FPS's were born with Keyboard and Mouse technology in mind - and IMHO it is the only way to control one. Kudos to this company for filling a large gap in the market.


I don't often make such opinionated and bold statements in forums, but this is one subject I feel very strongly about.

I think that console manufacturers should give us the option of an 'official' keyboard/keypad and mouse controller. They'd probably work out cheaper, games would support them properly and people wouldn't consider it a hack/cheat in online games.

i have mixed feelings about this. i agree regarding the equality of a console fps and i also agree on a kind of filter system that detects if a user is using this device.

seems cool and i myself may purchase one has half the time i play my 360 directly infront of my tft

Hmmm..
To be honest I don't see why you would bother with a console to be honest...
But each to there own. But I loves my computer.

Great device. The price point is the last concern for me.
20 quid is the highest price i would offer for this kit.
There are not too many FPS on xbox 360. Some titles you could get pc versions for a cheaper price. Like rainbow six vegas, quake 4, far cry. etc.

I think i would definately get it when halo3 release.
