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

Just got this from a game developer I always thought it'd start with the little guys and big guys playing catch up later.
---------
My name is Bostjan Troha, and I am the CEO of a game developer that's currently working on a full-retail PS3/Xbox360/PC action-adventure game. I've noticed your effort to include custom button remapping in games. We'll put that in our game.
But more importantly, please let me know how would you like us to make games even more enjoyable for you. I am sure you have many ideas and solutions, and we'll be happy to implement them in our games, if at all possible.

Not sure if its been mentioned, I missed the last 6 pages! =P

But speaking of remapping, could you not use a remapping program, to remap mouse button one for example as 'W' or whatever character, then within the game map 'W' as walk? But press Mouse button 1 to make the game register you pressing 'W'...? Or is that too simple... :(

remapping programs doesn't work with all my mouse buttons
 
I've already sent a message to MS to see if they can't come up with a built-in app that would deal with control mapping.

Will let you know if i hear anything.

Yeah, bah :(

Will it work with one of the buttons though? Like I say the 'standard buttons? 'Then you could try using the game to map the 'side' buttons to do other things? (ie not walk) Or is it the side ones that the game does not recognise etc?

Isnt this something that Direct Input was built for? Im surprised to learn its not been updated since DX8...

what i'm wanting/hoping to be able to remap the controls to any controller/buttons/device to play the game

for example fifa 2010 had a option to control the game with a controller or mouse and can remap buttons. i prefer using the mouse in them games... fiffa 2011 they've removed the mouse control so that mean i can't play that.

Yes, long term, complete remapping options :)

Short term, if you can get other buttons to work with certain programs configs then thats a bonus

I guess it remains a two prong attack - MS could update DirectInput to allow the user to 'programme' the input device to their desire - no doubt that would give a load of flexibility but would be cumbersome and need some thought (profiles for apps/games etc).

Ideally game developers just need to open up their games (as someone said GfW accredation is where this should be), but for some, this could lead to the argument of potentially marring the game experience and adding in controller option that just werent envisaged initially (your example of FIFA 11 is a good one). Id be interested to hear the effort involved from the developers who have already said they will post-patch this in - gives you idea of resource requirements to argue with the big developers/publishers...

I guess theres also a niche market for custom input devices, but I assume thats already suitably covered...

Eye Controlled Gaming

If you are ever in Austin, TX you are more then welcome to come by and try our eye controlled gaming system. While you would probably still want to use a mouse you may be able to map things like reload, or grenades so you can play more easily. If the game developers build in some customization, we can take it all out. We also have plans on our site if anyone wants to build their own. Waterloolabs.com Let me know if you have any questions.
