I prefer controllers for games. I use a PS2 controller myself.

and I totally missed your last question, sorry Mr. Alan. Depends entirely on how dependent we want the game to be on the keyboard or is mouse going to be a huge component as well? If mouse is used frequently I would say spacebar for menu response.

I think 360 controller input should have a hidden feature that crashes the game at random times to punish people for using 360 controllers. just a thought. :P

I'ma big fan of WASD for movement being the FPS addict that I am, I think it allows you to move around and have rapid access to the number keys for keyboard shortcuts and what-not.

Ok so we are aiming to support both mouse/keyboard as well as 360 controller as input to our game last i heard. Pretty soon we'll have to figure out game controls.

360 controller is pretty straight forward like...





* Left analog stick to walk, and to change selection in menus
* A to progress through text boxes when they come up or select menu items
* B to cancel

But for keyboard...
* right now, W,A,S,D or arrows walks around. WASD is kind of odd but i think a good portion of gamers gravitate towards there anyways.





* what would we want the player to press when a text box comes up (ie dialog). Enter?
