I'd still take a mouse over a console stick anyday for pure speed *AND* accuracy. There's just a greater range of motion you can do with a mouse.

What does mouse over control have to do with the game being on ps3 or pc or 360
either way you play the game

Oh come on invisible.  The only thing Mouse has over analog sticks for sure is how easy they are to get used to and learn.  The rest is preference and skill level and the way the game's shooting/aiming is designed.  There is a SLIGHT accuracy advantage for mouse, but not a gigantic one like others say.  Speed is the same, just up/down the sensitivity in every single game's options menu.

And I believe your question was answered agent. Lemme dubba check.

EDIT:  I found no question.

fact is, the faster you make your analogue stick, the less accurate it becomes. this effect is much stronger on a analogue stick than on a mouse.

heeeeeee maybe your are the one who needs a few mathematic courses or philosophy to learn the meanings...

The faster your sensitivity is, the more accurate it becomes and this is only related to skills.
If you can't play on the highest sensitivity, do not cry that it's not accurate. Only the speed is changing, and the same thing happens with your mouse.

The lower you player on a controller, your maximum speed cannot go higher.



You have to use the thumbtick slower at 10 to reach the same distance you would... by pushing the thumbstick at his maximum on the edge on a 2 sensitivity. It's definately more accurate and you have to handle it.

HAHA you used the same font in your sig that you did in those pics.  I don't know why that's funny, but it kind of is.

But anyways Hyrage is right, you can't relate accuracy with the controller, it's skill.

lol I did it fast and I didn't remove the font in my photoshop lol.... Oups  :-[

But Rambo was right if he meant: it's more difficult to use a thumbstick when you higher the sensitivity rather than... it's less accurate. This is why controller require skills, but the same thing goes for a mouse.

that's only true if you can't aim precisely enough (per pixel/head size/whatever) on the slow settings. this would be like playing with a 5dpi mouse. but once you go from 800dpi to 2000dpi, it doesn't become more accurate, it only becomes faster due to smaller mouse movements, and smaller mistakes in the mouse movement count. but obviously the controller sucks more than i expected...

But I also expect that you probably don't play that much with it too. A lot of people prefer the mouse/keyboard, but the Consoles are taking actually a huge wave of popularity over the PC, it tends to become more a preference than a fact.

You EXPECT too much.  You know what, go play with a controller for years like you have with a keyboard then tell me how much it ZOMG SUCKZORZ!!  I've played with a gamepad for years and I find nothing wrong with it other than the fact that it can be tough to warmup if you haven't played for a month or two.  It's preference, for the last time.

well hopefully it will be possible to play vs console players some day so we can settle this once and for all.

1. Wrong... it's just preferences...
2. Too late, already tested with Shadowrun, but I guess you do not play this game anyway.

We will be.  There are a few peeps from console who'd buy a PC so they can play this.  Plus, it will support gamepads, because well UE3 does.  What would be nice is to have a bunch of console/gamepad users like Hyrage and myself to be gamepad controls designers.

Yeah, but actually, I do not appreciate the Control Settings from UT3 [also seems to be the same from GoW PC], I'll have to tweak it later... no time for that now. Maybe we will be able to convert Rambo ^^.
