The KGB Oracle Forums Star Citizen (PUBLIC) KGB Star Citizen Faction Planning Joystick or Keyboard/Mouse or Controller

My new toy turned up
Came in its own hard plastic carry case with foam inserts very sniper-ish
Took a while to set up had to lose a monitor and I still do not have the focus perfect but WOW!!!!

It’s a real game changer each eye sees its own image so you see the games in 3D
All you see is the image there is nothing else
And the tracking means whenever you move your head the view changes as well

It changes you from being in a room looking at a screen to being inside the screen looking around

Played around with a few demos and half-life2 which has it supported in a beta version after 2 hours I had to stop due to me feeling sick
What my brain was seeing and my body was feeling was not matching up so I got motion sickness !!!!

Next game on the list is War Thunder it’s a beta of a flight sim that supports the rift so should give me a feel for how it will work in SC

One think that is already obvious is you do need to make sure you have all your controls in hand as you are effectively blind to reality

Are you talking about the Oculus Rift? Sounds like a nice piece of equipment.

Freelancer was a really nice combo of mouse + keyboard. I am sure they will implement that at least.

It would be nice if they added joystick to go along with it though! :-)

joystick is the main method of control its a flight sim

although in most demos of the hanger an gamepad was used

For the hangar a controller seems to work best right now.

and I am out of date already and OR has not even launched yet

OR dev kit mark 2 is now out

Sandie working with some OEM for custom Star Citizen HOTAS. ~12 months from start to finish. Expect more information down the road.

From the new ATV 14. Going to be interested in this.

I dislike that rachent skank faux gamer immensely. Other than that she has a decent rack and I would put it in her pooper.

Here is why this is a good thing. It forces SC to really support 6 DOF and full HOTAS support and move away from the arcade nature of the current technology demonstrator called Arena Commander.

After playing more recently.

Keyboard/mouse still elite
Joystick is good depending on the ship
Controller is great for racing.

They keep getting beat up by all the pro gamers who don't want an arcade sim fighter in space. At some point RSI is going to have to either step up to there promises or come clean about there inability to meet them on schedule.
