    Sooo... PS4 controls - Keyboard and mouse?

    Sooo.. If not PC... (and I am still holding out for a PC version..) but if that doesn't happen.. Can you at least provide full support for mouse and keyboard on the PS4? A game like this should not be limited by a controller.. they just won't do it justice. That alone would probably stop most of the complaining. Your game looks amazing. It is just the control interface (any console controller) that is going to make it hard to really get into.

    Thanks!

    Is using a controller really that arduous. I admit so games I do prefer a mouse and keyboard. But I dont see how a controller would hinder you from getting into a game. Also don't understand how a controller isn't gonna do justice for the game. If it plays like any other 3rd person cover shooter a controller can do the job easy.

    I'm still sure there will be a pc version, it is probably just gonna come out some time after the console release.

    Yes.. it really is that arduous. It is painful. And very inaccurate. It isn't even fun. With a mouse and keyboard.. I can be looking around, enjoying the visuals, spotting for danger or areas to explore, and still moving... It is literally 100x harder to do that with a controller. It isn't fun to do that with a controller.

    I won't even go into the differences between combat with a controller vs mouse and keyboard.

    Controllers are fantastic for some games. Fighters, action/adventure (though even some of these not so much), platformers, etc. But for immersive worlds.. for shooters.. for games that have a lot of options... keyboard and mouse is sooo much more enjoyable. Keymapping so that you can enjoy it how you want to enjoy it.. precision with a mouse so you don't need crap like auto-aim or very loose targeting requirements (like most console shooters have)... it just makes a world of difference. It is one thing if it is some halo/COD rip off shooter that you are just running and gunning.. But the Division looks like something you could get really tactical with.. and I just don't see a controller doing it justice. A controller would take away from the experience.

    And... like I said.. I am still hoping for the PC version.. at the same time as the console release..

    but if not that.. it would be nice if they could fully support the mouse and keyboard option.. which should be a relatively easy alternative. and then those that enjoy controllers.. can use them... and those of us that enjoy mouse and keyboard can use what we like. It is the best of both worlds.

    Game looks great but I will not buy it if not for PC EVER EVER EVER. You can only have my money if it's for PC!

    Yeah each to their own, i often come across individual gamers who have a difficult time using a gamepad/controller, some just can't adapt, i remember a long time ago i used to get cramps in my thumbs using a gamepad/controller, and in first person i had a tough time aiming, but after spending some time on a console i adapted just fine, i often use a controller now in the games that support a controller, i even use an xbox 360 wireless controller for the ArmA 3 alpha, and that's also when pounding the ground as a grunt on stratis in first or third person perspective. There is some time to go yet so maybe they will release a pc version the same time as the consoles?.

    Guys, we will have a PC version!

    http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=589731

    Machinima has been running a livestream and they just finished talking with the devs from The Division one of the fan questions was will it be coming to PC. They said currently they are focusing on Next Gen consoles, but if there is the demand for a PC version it will be made. They even said straight up sign petitions, get on the forums and post your requests.

    Whoever posted that on Neogaf copied a post that I made a few days ago that got locked by the moderators here. http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...rsion-possible is the original post. Unfortunately Machinima has not yet uploaded the cut pieces of their livestream, and I don't know when or even if they will re-upload the video.

    Guys lets not drag the thread off topic please - if you wish to discus the potential of a PC version - please use one of the exsiting PC petition / request threads.


    That does a few things.

    Keeps the forum clear for people to talk about other things, with threads being derailed from the subject.

    Keeps the PC request threads current for people to read

    Stops the PC request thread from disappearing from the first page [however unlikely that is]


    Thank you for your understanding.
