Controls for PC games - Doom3 Area51
markrvp:
Hello all.
Dire Radiant:
Its possible to use a gamepad to play Doom 3 but it would be horrible. There are times in Doom 3 you need to shift your aim point by a large angle almost instantly which would be impossible with a gamepad. It did help when dual analog sticks became available but it's as true today as it was then: First person shooters suck on consoles (and by extension, gamepads)
Timoe:
^ true. But if you could play doom on your cabinet, even with so so controls. Thats FREAGIN AWESOME.
I'm going to best buy a little later to see if I cant pick up lego star wars for the PC just to play on my cabinet (that I WILL build someday)
I'm also lookin for Virtua Tennis, Markrvp, any idea where I can get that for the PC?
markb:
Playing Doom3 is definitely possible on a cab, There maybe one hell of a lot of buttons on the key mapping screens however 10 of those are for individual weapon selection and about another 10 for features you'll rarely if ever use.
I have a 2 player 6 button configuration with trackball and 8 utility buttons and although it was a little awkward to play at first due to the unusual layout I find it fairly easy now.

My two kids and I have played Lego Star Wars on my new 2 player fighter panel until we're bleary-eyed.
