I guess I should correct myself as it was more along the lines of aiming down the sight cuz you usually slow down to walking speed anyway.

Walking is essential in games like Tomb Raider to admire the hip sway.

The End.

The only games I remember using it alot were in JK2/JK3 MP duels.

pressure sensitive buttons would be good for racing games, other then that i don't see the need for it.

XInput supports only "next generation" controllers. This limits it basically to controllers for the Xbox 360 that also have Windows drivers. Legacy Windows controllers, joysticks and generalized force-feedback devices are not supported.
XInput supports a maximum of four controllers at a time. This is an Xbox limit, carried over to Windows. Although as of 2010[update] few PC games require more than four controllers at once, this seems[original research?] like an arbitrary restriction as DirectInput has no such limitation.
XInput does not support keyboards, mice, or mouse-type devices. While this mirrors Microsoft's recommendation not to use DirectInput with these devices[8], programmers can use DirectInput with these devices.
XInput supports maxima of 4 axes, 10 buttons, 2 triggers and 8-direction digital pad per controller, compared to DirectInput's support for 8 axes, 128 buttons, and full-range POV. (Incidentally, the number of axes, buttons and triggers XInput supports corresponds directly to the Xbox 360 controller.)
As of 2010[update] XInput is for Xbox 360 controllers, while DirectInput is for any controller.

haha, this also shows MS great support for PC gaming.

Almost everyone owns a gamepad or wheel now anyway, but that's probably the only use I can see.

Splinter Cell had a good idea how to deal with no analog sticks on the PC.

you mean turn the scrool wheel for walk/run control?

**Vardant** · 07-06-10, 07:46 AM

It wasn't just walk or run, it had probably 4 different speed settings , but yeah, that's what I meant.

Yea I really like Chaos Theory's controls.

For me i cant see pressure sensitive keyboards working for FPS games...i would so much rather do little presses than have to figure out how hard to press it.

Theres a reason mouse and keyboard are better than analogue joypads for FPS games and the mouse precision over analogue precision is only half of it.

pressure sensitive keypads imo are a novelty aimed towards those of us who cannot choose between mouse and keyboard and a joypad.

Having played a good deal of console games, I simply think pressure sensitive buttons are bad. In a racing game it's tiring to make sure you fully press a button all the time, and in many other games it just ends up being an unreliable form of input.
