i just got dead space 2 but i'm so disappointed

[gareth170]

Is this thread still about Dead space 2? If so this game is totally awesome and has returned my lost faith in computa' gamin', that is all.

the game looks great but the custom control options are very poor.

 

[gareth170]

No worries mate I'll do it when I get home.

It's got a good weight to it mate by no means is it light though. I can find out the weight of it if you want as I have digital scales.

do u think it's similar weight of 2-3 AA batterys?

I'm sure something could be done to help with that, say some type of light restraints over the shins that would stop your legs from moving but leave both feet free to operate pedals, a joystick or button panel or whatever. I'm sure it's not the first time you've asked your GF to tie you up anyway

P.S Your spelling is fine, we understand you perfectly

yeah that'll work..

I think ultimately what would be both the easiest method and give you the best control possible is a SmartNav/TrackIR and some additional controls operated by your feet.

Something like this http://unkool.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/sf4_te_controller1.jpg would give you an idea for a possible alternative control scheme. Left foot operates the stick for character movement, right foot operates the buttons while your SmartNav/TrackIR mimics mouselook/aim.

You would know better than anyone else, is this a control scheme you think you would be able to operate?

ohh i remember them

yeah it could work..
it maybe worth a try.

Hi again.

Damn you are good you hit the Apex every time :O.

I cant find that web cam I am real sorry I thought it was in the garage but meh.

[gareth170]

Hey Gareth,

I have been following this thread from the start but have not posted until now.

You really impressed me with how you manage to play the games (especially how well!) with just using your chin. You are a great inspiration and developers should stand up and take note and not be so narrow minded leaving such games non customisable.

I have a Wii mote going spare if you would like it? Would save you spending out if it doesn't turn out to be any good!

Let me know if you are interested, mail in trust

thank you mate

i'm going to try a arcade joystick next week to see if i can press the buttons with my feet if i can then i'll go the SmartNav system route, but if i can't then i'll try the wii mote route .

 

[gareth170]

Been reading this thread and just wanted to give a big thumbs up to gareth

thanks mate.

i have just checked the youtube comments 99% of are good, afew are nasty.

 

[gareth170]

Theirs always some Gareth just ignore em.

yeah tbh i knew some would.. isn't the first time and sure won't be the last time, lol

 

[gareth170]

Yeah, I saw one or two unkind, cruel comments and I did briefly consider politely asking them to refrain from doing this, but straight away "Don't feed the troll" sprang to mind so I chose to ignore those comments.

As I learned a while back, ignoring someone can be one of the most effective and satifying ways to deal with them.

You're much loved by us all mate.

yeah i'm not going to reply to them. and true ignoring is the best way, works with the gf also lol

thanks again too all that have been kind and helpful..

@Gareth. Scumbag comments are par for the course on youtube. You could post a video of the most perfectly shaped breasts anyone has ever seen and it would still get hateful comments. Ignore them.

ohh ok mate,

 

[gareth170]

wow awesome i just went onto steam and gareths kotaku article was there under recent news on my fallout new vegas screen

Hopefully dev's should take all this onboard.

wow

yeah hopefully they will take note of all this..

I hope they help.

well thats a good start. hopefully they'll start doing fully remapping settings in all they games and maybe patch the games that don't support it..

 

[gareth170]

I've emailed a couple of publishers so far, awaiting a response.

great,

 

[gareth170]

Forgive me, I was a little doubtful of your sincerity at the beginning of the thread too, but how wrong was I. You're a very inspirational person

You can disable comments in Youtube via the channel settings page, I always do this for my own videos too.

i forgive u don't worry mate...

nearly all comments in Youtube have been nice so far

 

[gareth170]

I noticed this thread the other day but didn't bother reading because I thought it would be some one having a moan... well it is, but this is a lot different.

Simply amazing Gareth, I hope you get something sorted out. I send this thread to my mate who works for Codemasters and see if he can send it to some one higher up and get it pushed around some places and stuff for you.

thank u very much mate.

the more game companys knows about having fully customisable controls settings is very important in all games, the better.

 

[gareth170]

btw did anyone take part in tdu2 beta? if so did u notice if the controls can be fully customisable controls?
