The days of Microprose and Jane's flight sims are long gone, sadly. The fact that those HAD to abstract flight models and controls made them a lot of fun.

Does MAME support Force Feedback on the G27? I wanna try Daytona with the whole setup going.

Thanks for your great advice, guys. Looks like if I want to have fun flying I need to tolerate some milwank (after replaying Crimson Skies); I think I'll make do. Skydrift is a definite buy, but after checking the demo out it's definitely more of a controller game.

I would pay so much money for a modern Tie Fighter or X-Wing. That depth of space sim really worked for me. I also recall it being hard as balls. It's not the type of game that gets made anymore. (  )

I don't know if this has been plugged here yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TOlKYrz3t8 While not strictly a TIE-clone, it definitely takes a lot of inspiration from the series. The first placeholder cockpit was a copy of the TIE fighter cockpit, actually. The sole dev, Kairo, is fairly active in the thread too.

I tried to check, and I'm pretty sure but not certain: if I have one Microsoft wireless receiver can i use 4 360 controllers with it simultaneously? What about 3 360 controllers and 1 wired xbone controller? I've never done this multiplayer PC thing and don't want to drop more money that I have to if it doesn't work

I would think the 3 and 1 would be fine.

I don't know how representative it is, but when I tried playing Spelunky with a friend using a wireless 360 pad and a wired one, only one of them would work in-game. I don't know if it was a game issue or a limitation in Steam or whatever, but we could only play together after I ditched the wireless and plugged in an old wired non-MS controller I had lying around.

I've played Sonic Racing Transformed with 1 wired 360 and 3 wireless before, so I imagine the Bone controller in the mix wouldn't change anything.

I can confirm that in most cases wired (Xbone) and wireless(360) work fine together, at least in Mount your Friends and Gang Beasts. Albeit there is confusion on which controller is first player, second player, ect. Its sometimes doesn't match what the controller says, but hey it works!

So im getting sick of deleting games to make room for more, I think its time to upgrade my 320gb hard drive. Im thinking a 3TB should be quite a nice upgrade? Its crazy the sizes of installs today. Wolf:TNO and Wasteland 2 are like 60 gigs together. Pogo Stick Eagle fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Sep 22, 2014 |

Anyone who has less than 1TB in this day and age really needs to upgrade. HDDs are dirt cheap. If I were building a new PC today I think I would probably get a 250GB SSD (and make that the system partition) and a 2TB HDD. You'd get the best balance of speed and storage space that way.

I have a 128GB SSD for system and a 250GB SSD for Games, but then I also have a 150Mbit cable connection so it's no big deal to install something if I want it. I also have ~4.5TB of other storage.

One of the best upgrades I've bought for my computer is a 500 GB SSD. They're really not THAT expensive now anyway, plus the price per MB goes down while the performance tends to go up the bigger you get.

SSD's are awesome. I would never use anything else now for a boot drive.  Did any of the latest consoles ever get SSD's? It's a real shame the next-gen consoles weren't fitted with them by default.

You can put SSDs in the PS4 I know, but you have to do that aftermarket - there aren't any models with them off the shelf. The process is officially supported though.

Consoles need ssd's badly. It would make even more appealing buying digital copies instead of blu-rays and then installing them.

Basically the hold-up with SSDs and consoles are: 1. The space issue, see above. 2. Cost. Console gamers think a $500 console is outrageous where PC gamers see that as a decent upgrade cost. Even with savings from ordering in bulk there is no way for Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo to make a console at an affordable price point with SSDs still.

Depends on if the game is designed around the limitations of a gamepad. Just shoehorning a gamepad control scheme into a PC game doesn't work. For one, without proper acceleration the camera always feels awkward. A good example of a good gamepad shooter would be Resident Evil 4. Just being in third person doesn't make it a gamepad game either. For example, if you tried to play APB Reloaded with a gamepad you would get slaughtered. As I played Halo 3 online years ago I've often wondered what it would be like to use a mouse and keyboard. Everything moves so slowly and methodically that I'm not sure if it would have helped.

It still mostly worked in 5 but the greater number of faster moving enemies and QTE's to fend off the attacks (of which the prompts may or may not actually appear or actually work if they do appear in time and you manage to perform them) they'll do when they get close meant it didn't work nearly as well as in 4.

There is nothing you can do to an FPS that would make it play acceptably on a gamepad without turning it into a game of some other genre. Not that this stops people trying, because nobody but bitter old Quake players seem to miss the games where incredible precision in movement and aim actually mattered.

I would strongly never recommend anyone to use a gamepad in a shooting in a multiplayer setting but you know, who cares if it isn't MP then? Granted there are few things like arena shooters that I feel like will never ever work well with a gamepad due to the speed and reaction times needed but frankly you could probably still do it anyway with a gamepad if you spent enough time at it (like playing Dark Souls with a guitar hero/rock band controller)

I've played plenty of FPSs on both PC and consoles and I've never noticed PC shooters to be much more appreciably complex or faster outside of old 90s FPSs like Doom or Quake. Keyboard+mouse vs. controllers doesn't really matter for 99% of games or gamers unless you're a multiplayer turbosperg.

I played against a guy on BF4 pc that claimed that he had to play infantry with gamepad because he used it to fly a chopper, we told him to just leave it aside until he hopped into one and he told us that was cheating.  Also, I've played well over a thousand hours of CoD games on my 360 with goons and it works nicely as everyone is stuck with a gamepad but It'll never be as good as the good old kb+m combo. Even games like RE still work better with kb+m (even RE4 with the beta patch).

There's this game called Dark Void where you're a 3rd person shootyman but then you press a button and suddenly you're in a plane flying game. I play that with a gamepad, it's p. nice.

I played the entirety of Borderlands 2 with a controller and it ruled because I could sit in my recliner sofa, put my feet up and stuff crispy snacks into my mouth without gunking up my keyboard.
