View Full Version : How is it going to play on the 360.

I'm a console gaming, my computers not all that remotely up to date, and I rather play on a comfy couch or on my bed with a controller then on the cold hard perverbial steel of a PC chair and with the archaic keyboard and mouse.
If thats your thing, thats fine.
My only concern now is how the 360 version will play. Those zombies are moving awefully fast, and while its fine for mouse controls, it seems like they havent really put 360 gamers in mind with the design. Is there any word on how theyre accomidating the mechanics of the console controller for this game?
If you practice enough with the 360 controller you could probably play this game fine, but I have a feeling that they are either:
A.) Gonna need to slow things down a bit speed wise of the zombies
or
B.) Make the zombies have lower hp and do less damage.
Who knows what they will do, but I think the majority of 360 owners would have trouble using the controller to mow down all those running zombies. But like I said with practice I think you could play this game fine with the 360 controller, but it would require lots of playing probably.

omfgroflma they are making the game with pc gamers in mind, not ranting at u or saying ur 360 is shit (it is) but c'mon man....archaic keyboard and mouse....
i realy hope that the first release supports xbox live and pc link up! then lets see how comfy u are with ur noob stick!:) huhuuu

Or auto aim, like EVERY 360 shooter to date, zombies already do fall fast, in that preview the guy sprayed and zombies dropped, it wont be too hard. The game wont need to be slowed down at all, if you cant cope it only means you arent very gamer.
P.S, your chair must suck.

Puscifer, if you have nothing to add, add nothing at all.
and cush, thats what I figured they have to do. I would imagine, no matter how much you practice, the usage of a controller just doesnt let you to fire that fast.

Yes it does... jesus, whats with these people buying 360 for their first console and complaining about how they cant keep up with mouse and keyboards.
1. You can. I know because I have them both and theres barely a difference.
2. YOU CAN PLAY THE THREE SIXTY WITH A MOUSE AND KEYBOARD. Jesus, you pay 400 dollars for a half assed console, buy a game for it and complain it doesnt have a mouse and keyboard. How out of date is your computer? For 400 dollars you could have bought like an X1800 or 7800, that could easily play this game on full settings.
Dont mean to sound agry.
Puscifer

ohhh i agree the best things about consoles is the comfort of playing on a couch or lying on a bed, so buying a keyboard and mouse kinda defeats the object. I only play 2 games atm css and wow so using a control pad would be shite. and L4D is the first game ive been exited about for a long time and i reckon that also would be shite using a control pad.
my advice to 360 users is this!

See, its not the price, I dont LIKE playing games on a pc. I only like playing strategy games, and sim games ,on my pc.
I like playing on consoles more, its my thing. I dont care about "not keeping up" with a mouse, my only concern is how the 360 version will work. How are they designing the controls. For example, did they work around the inherent limitations of the analog sticks, how does the voice communication hotbuttons work. etc.
dontleave
04-21-2007, 08:05 AM
Exactly, so why buy a game spiritually made for PC. You'll know the controls when you get the game. Until then you can guess, considering theres been a dozen games beforehand made for consoles, and dead rising especially for 360. Its not like the 360 will run out of buttons...
Hotbuttons probably work the same in the PC version, you press a button for 360 probably one of the left side buttons, a dpad for ps users... dont know what its called with that. And it brings up a menu, and you can choose what to say.

play L4D on a Xbox 360 ? Amafawkingaawd,i would never EVER play this or any other pc games on a Xbox,Ps,gameboy(lol),psp - anything but a Pc ! Now to the "Answer" i think u can play 360 with mouse and keyboard as dontleave said...i have one myselfe and there is Usb ports on it. but if u choose to play with the stick...fine...but dont count on me coming and crying on ur funeral O.o
Maybe they won't even have voice communication hotbuttons. Remember all 360s come with a headset. I wonder if they will just be just using the headset for communication and have simple commands blurted out, such as "Reloading" or "I'm Down." Who knows, but I think it would be hard to scroll while blasting through zombies.
Also, about if you could use a mouse or keyboard. The game has to be designed to use a mouse and keyboard. If the game isn't made for it you can not simply just plug in a mouse and keyboard and start playing Gears of War with it. The game has to be designed to use it.

Aiming isn't bad for 360, I got it on release and it came with Call of Duty 2, the first thing I noticed is how much more responsive and smoothe to felt when I tried it, my friend was over and the first thing he said was "the mouse just got pwned" I chuckled grenaded him while he was camping up the stairs on that egypt map that reminds me of mos eisley from star wars.
Point. its not so bad. definately an improvement from xbox1
The 360 controller is definitely good, but I think if you were to play CS and put a team of 360 users in against a team of PC users, the 360 users would get owned every time. Nothing has a faster response time then a 2000 dpi laser mouse :)

yep guess ur right, but justice will not be done untill the console market crash's and burns. haha
joke btw
Haha, yea I don't think the console market will be crashing and burning anytime soon. M$ may crash and burn as they have yet to make any money in the console market, I believe they lost a lot of money on the first Xbox, but maybe they will make money on the 360. And we all know Sony has been dominating since PSX, but who knows maybe PS3 will flop. I think Nintendo makes money for each console they sell so they will be around for awhile too.

If you honestly think you can't keep up with anything on screen with a standard console controller..then you should probably stop gaming and do something like..collecting bottle caps or watching grass grow.

Been there done that, unfortunately not too exciting. The only problem with console controllers is the response time is limited compared to a good mouse. I believe a guy with a mouse that is very experienced could blast away more zombies faster than an experienced player with a console controller.

04-21-2007, 10:35 AM
You'd be surprised. Personally the only pro for me on a PC is aiming is VERY easy. Turning is a lot easier on a console controller. Then again..I don't have too much online experience with a PC, but I have plenty with consoles. So it all boils down to preference.
I guess I can relate it to the fact I had HL2 for the good 'ole Xbox..and I played the PC version several times. I had a much easier time using the controller than keys and mouse.
Ehwell..I'll still be upgrading my PC for college anyways.

I have. The place where a mouse really shines over a joystick is in precision sniping on the fly. Any shot which must be made quickly with any sort of pinpoint accuracy is infinitely more reliable when done with a mouse. The only way the 360 can compete, and I use the term compete loosely, is with the assistance of auto-aim.
When one method requires additional assistance to function nearly as well as another, what does that say about the first method?

I agree, actually. For FPS, the M+K is better and easier, but that doesn't mean that the controller will be inadequate. M+K will be superior in a game like L4D, but the 360 controller will play just fine.
Speaking of auto-aim, I think that auto-aim will be more of a hindrance than anything else. With something like 40 targets moving around the screen at once, you're going to be shooting at a lot of different things in not a lot of time. If your crosshair is "sticking" to one target and you need to shoot at one that's closer to eating you alive, having auto-aim is going to get in the way. At least you'll be able to turn it off.

Dude, I snipe headshots on BLACK, a PS2 game, it has worse analog than the 360... Sniping in CoD is easy also. Im starting to get the feeling that you are just being a noob.
I disagree, L4D needs no precision aim or anything... Look at the gameplay vid, he downed 4 infected without even thinking, just shooting into a mob... cmon people?! Seriously, we all know controllers suck. But you dont need it for this game.
cbre88x
04-21-2007, 03:47 PM
I snipe in SOCOM: CA...it's actually very easy to get sniper shots with a joystick. The only thing that sucks is the huge recoil you get out of every gun.
I still say the controller is just as good as the M+K. Like I said...it is all personal preference, but we'll never know which is better until we get some 360/PC online action.
I usually turn off auto aim..auto aim is such a bitch in online play.
auto aim= for little sissys and 15 year olds that lack coordination.

what u guys have gotta think about is console fps games are generaly single playey where u kill bots, so the reaction speed dosnt need to be there as much as an online fps. pc fps games have been multi player for years with the likes of css, doom, unreal tourny etc etc, because the top games have always come out on pc and the gamers prefer to play on pc.

Just to clarify.
1. You can't use a mouse and keyboard on a 360 game. You can plug in a usb keyboard for sending email type messages to other users from it's dahboard/os (and for entering txt info on games, save names etc). Hopefully one day they will give the option.
2. The only comms on the 360 version would be via the headset. Talking to each other. No need to type a load of messages or choose from a drop down menu.
3. Auot aim on all 360 shooters? erm no. Some do in single player or on easy difficulty settings (as some pc shooters do as well) - but ramping the difficulty removes it, as does playing online for the most part.

I think the only Next Gen that can handle a decent FPS is the Wii because of its point control.
I have always been an avid supporter of them creating a Mouse/Keyboard type controller for a Console, just a key pad with a dozen or so button on it layed out like the left hand side of a keyboard and a simple mouse.

P.S.- guess what, the number one selling FPS was originally sold and is one of the top played online games today=Halo 2......and the number one selling game ever (soontobe) and even moreso outselling ANY movie i've read will be Halo 3, *gasp* an FPS on a console.

Best selling game of all time is one of the Sims, best selling franchise is obviously the Sims, I heard Roller Coaster Tycoon is up there somewhere.
Halo sold 5 million-ish, Halo 2 sold 8 million.... One of the GTAs is 13 million.
Best selling FPS is Goldeneye... both Half life Halo 2 and Goldeneye are in the 8 million range but Goldeneye has the most without hitting 9 million

You are better, that is right though. At moving a mouse and clicking a button on it.
Really, all the mouse does is enable faster movement and an easier menu system seeing that you can just click and use. But the keyboard is also a retarded system in itself considering the randomly placed keys for objects and games and when there are so many keys it just get annoying.

Random? You don't play enough... everyone knows "R" is the UNIVERSAL key for reload... And people appreciate the number of keys, its why the term "hotkeying" was invented, effectively enabling a user to do tasks much faster than if he had to open a menu, scroll, click, scroll some more etc. etc. Like with a controller. You really need to come up with a better arguement then, "Too many keys are annoying," I'm pretty sure someone brought that up before and had to wear the retard hat.
first off, they're not gonna change it at all for the 360, it will probably be the exact experience
And wrong, same GAME... very different experience.
Keyboard wasn't designed for gaming, it was designed for all purpose use along with the computer, that in itself makes it superior to a controller. The fact that it can do what a controller can't and also what a controller can do but better and wasn't even specifically made (in most cases) to do said action.
Also it was the first Goldeneye that sold more than Halo 2, without the already established fanbase.

LMAO! XD Omg that's the saddest thing I've seen from a pc fanboy. Yea it's a pc game, but it DID come out on console first. And it became FAMOUS because it came out on consoles first.
and the fact you are getting so emotional about a thread, brings joy to my heart to see.
Ignorance at its finest once again. I give up with this fight, pc gamers are complete douchebags and think just because their noob mouse moves faster that they're better.
well we win then obviously.
edit: obviously you missed the joke part, however your reaction was priceless.
Did goldeneye or half-life 2 sell as many copies as fast as Halo did? Was the online community as large as halo had?
Halo is the only game you can use for statistics, ironic that the only reason it exists is because microsoft made so much money off their PC franchise they created a console which bungie made a game for.

I don't think so, i know so! lol:P
nah i dont want to get into this argument really but at the end of the day i'd much rather play L4D on my pc then on a console.

Why do Console vs. PC wars always break out? We're all gamers, so why can't we just get along?
I prefer PC's but I can see why others with different lifestyles would prefer consoles.
In most cases:
Consoles win for just messing around with friends in multilayer on a single piece of hardware, not needing to worry about if your hardware's compatible with games and ... something else which I cant think of yet because I'm not into console gaming much any more.
PC's win for professional play, game customization and graphical power.
(by professional play I mean large gaming tournaments, etc. I don't mean that PC gamers are any more professional than console gamers in general)

keeps boredom at bay.
tbh i dont really care, but when someone gets annoyed enough because the damn PC gamers r rippin on a console well i have to laugh :)
edit: also its human nature, if everyone just go along we wouldnt have war, shooting games would not exist, neither would guns, there would be no need. In essence we would be totally defenceless againts anything other than ourselves - of which we wouldnt need to be.

Console = Role Playing, Fighting, Platformers, Racing, Sports
PC = Strategy, Simulation, First Person Shooters, Better Role Playing, and Monkies.
i could never play a game with keyboard and mouse thats just to difficult for me so 360 would be the way to go for me!!

War between conflicting things (which mostly ends up being religion) I can understand. But war over the tools used to do something?
I've never heard of a jet fighter and a helicopter pilot fighting over the tools they use to fly. But come to think of it, I've never heard of an 8-16 year old pilot with inadequacy issues either... lol.

Lmfao @ him thinking that a keyboard doesn't have better movement than a controller. All of the keys are chosen by you (less limitations to the user, unlike shitty consoles) and using all 5 of your fingers for movement is highly more efficient then using ONE THUMB and having the rest of your fingers sit idly by on the back of the controller serving no purpose what-so-ever.

when I first read this I thought are you serious because playing l4d on the 360 will be like playing any other fps on it I really dont see how it would be hard to play.

Exactly. The only difference in gameplay from the different control methods is how used a person is to one or the other. The original post was regarding the speed of the zombies, which for people who aren't very good with analogue stick aiming could be a problem, but in that case easy mode could be played instead.

The xbox 360 controller can hook up to a pc you know. At least I heard it can. If it can't, get a cheap adapter thing that lets you hook up console controllers to your computer. If you're still not happy, get a bluetooth adapter, wiimote and nunchuk, and GlovePIE then play with the wiimote!
I vote for playing with the archaic keyboard and mouse.

You're the biggest fucking moron ever, if I knew you in real life and you said that stupid shit I'd smack you the fuck up you stupid ignorant cunt. You are a fucking moron because....
1. Even a standard controller requires the use of at least 2 thumbs in order to operate the movement stick and the aiming stick.
2. Unless you're playing a racing game, which in this case even most of them these days use the triggers in the back, your fingers are almost always being used. And you are most usually only using your thumbs for movement, thumb for face buttons, and your index and middle finger to push the triggers.
Now that I'm done showing you how STUPID you fucking are, I'm sure you'll know the middle finger, which IS used by some when playing with a controller, can also be used to non-verybally speak 2 very effective words expressing many feelings depending on how and when you use it. Such as.....
*Raises his middle finger*
Fuck you, stupid ignorant pc fanboy.

No its not... 2 for 5... that's efficiency by definition almost. This is obviously comnig from a guy whos never touched a controller. It CAN BE much more fluid than WASD or arrows. The left analog movement, right analog look is the perfect combination, thinking back on it now it's probably generally better... but then you have your perks with the mouse and keyboard, hotkeying and setting sensitivy to 1000...
But then there are retarded games like CoD2 that have strafe as the shoulder button... wtf was up with that?

Some game developers made the controls extremely stupid. I love Rainbow Six vegas but I hate how the iron sight button is the analog stick and you need to push it in. They could've easily moved it to the Ltrigger and moved the wall cover to the analog stick instead since that's used less. But whatever.
