UT3 PS3 keyboard/mouse confirmed

[msmalls74]

Glad the KB/Mouse thing is still happening for the PS3 (no word on 360 yet), I hadn't heard it mentioned for a long while thought it may of been cut but looks like its still in there. Not sure about balancing but at least you can choose to play against keyboard and mouse or just controller.

Folks,

I checked with Steve Polge and he said that YES we are supporting keyboard and mouse in Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3. He is confident we are doing it in a way that will be balanced without feeling "gimped" for either side. We'll also allow people to choose whether or not they want to allow mixed controller vs. keyboard/mouse games or not.

I think you guys are going to love UT3!

More details to come later.

It just divides the user base, what happens if some of my friends want to play with mouse and others joypads? in the end it is always best if everyone is on a level playing field. If you want to play UT3 with a mouse get it on pc.

Like I said its balanced and its upto you if play against KB/mouse or not. In driving games, I mostly use a steering wheel, does that mean i shouldnt play against people who use a controller as its unfair to them, surely thats not a level playing field?

the comparison isn't the same, the steering wheel does not give a significant advantage (if any) over a game pad. Its widely acknowledged that a mouse an keyboard is far far superior to a gamepad.

I always do better with a wheel than joypad, maybe its just me but it always feel like its more natural driving that way. Same as people who only play FPS on consoles will possibly prefer to use a joypad. Cant see how its an issue, it must only be a good thing to have the choice there if you want it.
