In PC GEOW...as soon as you plug in a controler, the interface changes automaticlly (I think bioshock does this too)

they showed a video recently of it being played with PC controls...and it did everything normally.

If you haven't noiticed,the first released video of "Gears of War" was running on a "Pc" not a "Xbox 360".So expect a nice and decent port.

what he is saying is that Gears recognized the controller, so when its plugged in its ABXY, etc, but when its unplugged it will revert back to keyboard and mouse (WASD, spacebar, etc). The video you saw had the controller plugged in.

actually the first time it was seen, Gears of War was running on a PowerMac G5, which I thought was pretty ironic, but the reason for that was because the 360 runs off of a processor that is derived from the PowerPC architecture.

If you've played the PC port of RE4 you'd notice that Capcom doesn't like to optimize their ports well for PC. I, like you, pressed all the buttons on the keyboard to find out what the "5" and "4" buttons are soI could actually shoot. It seemed like all they did was make it work on PC, because even in the tutorial files they showed a PS2 controller.

I think there was actually a mod called MouseAim, but I hada"bad" versionso I't didn't work for me. Search it up on google, that's where I found it.

I wouldn't know because I didn't really use it I just heard of it from a friend. Anyway, back on topic, I really think GoW will be a good port IF online and DX10 is actually free. I'm also psyched for the Unreal Editor that I think is supposed to come with the game. It's supposed to be like a map editor but it's actually what Epic used to make their maps. It's complete with your custom textures, sounds, everything. You can even choose how far a sound from something like a fire crackling travels. Check out the vid at gametrailers.com

His problem was that if he played with a keyboard and mouse the buttons shown on screen would be from a 360 controller. For example, you see "Press *right trigger pic*" and you wouldn't know what that is on a keyboard. Examples are Lost planet and RE4 for PC ^_^

I don't plan on buying it anyways. After you beat it once on Xbox 360 it gets kind of old. On the plus side, it does run smoother than the Xbox 360 version.

I see. I would be surprised if they weren't playing with a controller. Hopefully it switches depending on which scheme is chosen. Anyway, it will be a good game. I played it on the 360 and the PC Version has the potential to be even better.

Changing the interface is one of the last things they will do/care about. I don't think judging a game on what icons show up during missions is a good thing.

I kind of like this trend in PC games, auto detecting the Xbox360 controller setup-free. It's nice to have that option, I was surprised NFS ProStreet didn't have this option, but Juiced did, I think Jericho did, Crysis has it, and yeah Bioshock has it I believe. The option of using a controller is nice, especially when you don't have to set it up.

Cliffy B made it crystal clear that this isn't a port but a PC version with extra chapters exclusive to the PC playable @ 1920 x 1200 at 60 frames per second. And a source editor opening the game up to the map and mod community.

Oh, is that what that is? That's pretty sweet then, the not sweet part about Games for Windows is that Windows Live! crap. PC has always been about not having to pay extra for online play. I mean it should be available if you want to play on high quality servers and have achievements and that kind of thing all the time, but it shouldn't be mandatory just to play some multiplayer features.

In order to have you're title under the Games for Windows and Games for Windows Live the game must follow a few rules. Much like any console game must have standards to become licensed. Games for Windows games all have plug n play support for the Xbox 360 controller and it will auto-detect and map. If you notice the CRYSIS demo if you plug in the controller it will say something like Controller Conncected, and from there on it will give you messages like Press A, etc.

GFW is different than windows live...most GFW games dont use live (in fact only 3 do)

in addition to the controler support, there are other things they all need to have....like widescreen support.

You can easily find the controls for Lost Planet by going to PC Settings>Keyboard Settings. I know the keyboard buttons should have been displayed in-game, but you didn't have to resort to randomly selecting keys to see which one works.

yeah although its designed is based on controller, it still is optimized nicely for kb + m like using double tapping for movement etc
