Xbox 360 controller and APB

I know alot of you guys are against the 360 controller and only use mouse and keyboard... but i was wondering sometimes i hook my lappy upto my 50 inch lcd while chillin in bed.... and its kind of hard to use a keybaord and mouse when gameing.... has anyone tried playing this game with a 360 controller? does it work or have to be mod'd with xpadder or wahtever?

 

bump anyone?

 

I haven't played it, but isn't the game pretty new? Most of the new games have support for 360 controllers. Well at least the new "Games for Windows Live" games do.

 

Most of us on these forums use the Xbox360 controller with our PC games so I have no idea why you would think anyone here would be against them. I also use that controller with many games and emulation. I have never played APB but I would expect native Xbox360 controller support out of the box with no third party solutions required.

 

Yes, games to work with the Xbox 360 controller.

If you use the wired controller like me, all you have to do is plug it in, and your ready to go.

If you use wireless, you need a thing (forget the name) to plug into your USB port to receive the wireless signal.

As for the games, they have to support the Xbox 360 controller. Most Games for Windows Live support the controller, all you have to do is select "Controller or Gamepad" from the settings menu, and you should see the Xbox 360 controller there.

Some games do not support the 360 controller though. A quick look through Google should help you with that.

I usually search for something along the lines of:

"Prototype PC Xbox 360 controller"

And usually the first few listings will have information on if the game supports the controller or not.

 

APB is an MMO. Unless it's completely different than all the other MMOs out there, you're not going to have enough buttons on a controller to map everything.

 

Well this answerd all my questions if anyone is interested, its a list of games that the XBOX 360 controller can be used with

Xbox 360 Controller Support for PC (video game concept) - Giant Bomb

 

You should check out my gamepad guide, I make mention of the xbox 360 controller emulator so you can use any gamepad for those games.

So if you prefer a PS3 or Wii Classic Controller to the 360 controller you can use it all the same.
