The ability to hook keyboards to game systems has existed for decades. People don't like it. Nobody wants to play an action game on a console balancing a keyboard on their lap.

dude, you don't play MGS2, you watch MGS2:p

but yeah, only flaw in a teriffic game, was that there wasn't much of it.

Good point. Hopefully remedied in MGS3.

Not to mention that even though you can hook up a keyboard how many games bother to support it?

Besides you'll also need a joystick since game controllers tend to be two handed affairs.

hopefully they'll balance it out, i don't mind cutscenes, but i do like gameplay as well.

Game controllers have their place, so do Keyboards and mice..

and this..

is just freaking collossal.

To be honest i wouldn't buy FS3 if it was for a console.  The controls would be annoying and i'd bet anything you'd need to use the analog sticks to move and i despise analog sticks.  I suppose i'd just wait for a PC release and if one didn't come i wouldn't buy the game.  Using a keyboard with my console doesn't appeal to me and since i pretty much hate console controllers there wouldn't be much point in me buying it.  I just have to hope FS3 is for the PC.

What are y'all doing difficult 'bout, who cares if it is coming out on console or on PC's? you are either a console fan and love the console version of a game ignoring the pc version,  or you're a pc fan simply ignoring the console version these days it is not rare to see games come out on both pc and console...that is ofcourse if'nwhenever there is a ...III ...

Turnsky: What the hell is that???

[Dark_4ce]

Oh... "That thing"... The game cool. But only because the controllers were cool. Kinda made you feel like your driving that huge mech. but I only tried it at the store that had a huge plasma screen on which I played it. Twas fun.

Steel Batallion. It's a shame the game isn't all that great. But oh well, I kept the original box in mint condition, I'm gonna make some money of that baby in a few years.

has anyone ever thought to email X-Play to see if they'd run a feature on FS2?

Requiring a console game to use a special peripheral is the kiss of death unless said peripheral comes free with the game.

[Lonestar]

Um why use a console when a PC has more options? Im bored of a game, i can mod it with a PC. With a console, im screwed with what the developers gave me.

Only now is console doing content downloading. Ive been doing that for years already! Console's are great dont get me wrong, but a PC beats it hands down every time.

As for FS3 on Console, thats just insanity. FS2 had more controls then you knew what to do with, i doubt FS will port to console and if they do that means they are going to hack it down to nothing!

Im for FS3 no matter where its made, but prefferably on PC.

Actually, they did review FS2 a few years ago (back when ZDTV ran everything) and they absolutely LOVED it.

Okay, first I was going to post about Steel Battalion, 'til I realized aldo was referring to that game; it's not, I just saw a Steel Battalion extra-special rig for that controller in a game catalog.

But then I noticed people dissing MGS...

I'm really hoping they meant MGS2; MGS's cuscenes can be skipped without too much major-plot loss if you're selective about it.
MGS2 wasn't that bad, up until Emma dies. At that point it just got ludicrous...cutscene after cutscene, each with a plot twist of its own. And I didn't save too often when I played it, something like 6 times, so I missed all of Jack and Rose's relationship problems, meaning I missed a major portion of the cutscene.

So MGS did not have too many cutscenes. And MGS2 was actually pretty good, except for Raiden and the whole dozen plot twists at the end.
 "Raiden, your mission is to infiltrate Big Shell and rescue the President."
"The President!?"
"Yes, he's been captured by a group of terrorists."
"Captured!?"
"While touring the Big Shell, a Terrorist group apparently took control of the station, taking him and several other personnel hostage."
"Hostages!?"
...

"We're going to expand your vocabulary too."
"Expand?!"

"We're going to give you a haircut, so you don't looks so much like a girlie-man"
"haircut?!"
