Using a PS3 Controller for PR

darklord63 · 12-02-2009, 06:30 PM

Does anyone use one? Is it even possible? If it is does it work well?
And finally if it does work well, I need some help making mine work.

Thanks

I've heard of x360 controllers being capable of being used in some games, but ive never heard of the ps3 controller do that.

My friend happens to be a PS3 junkie and prefers a controller over a mouse/keyboard, this would be interesting to see if it is possible. I too have seen 360 controllers for certain PC games..

For helicopters mate, keyboard and mouse are good for infantry, decent for land vehicles, but suck at anything that flies.

Apparently it is possible. Gonna try it out...

Edit - well the method on TOG didn't work for me.

Its Possible, Ive used both a Xbox360 controller, and PS3 controller, (usb) with a program called "Xpadder" Xpadder.com However it only really benefits those who prefer using vehicles ... As for Infantry Combat, PS3 and Xbox360 controllers, lack the reaction time that, a keyboard and mouse has.

Here is a Video Tutorial, if you are interested in Testing, Xpadder, for PS3 or Xbox controllers

PS3 Joypad works well for me (3rd party app, don't recall where I got it 'ps3sixaxis_en.exe), although I don't fly much, I was having fair success flying Huey's with it on training (just like GTA, but a bit more unforgiving). Pretty cool for driving too, with plenty of buttons for binds to BF2 controls and external VOIP apps (JoyToKey.exe), CO trucks and Hummers have analogue steering, who knew! Only drawback was I couldn't work out a way to bind the right analogue stick to my look around.

I'd love the PS3 stick for driving, 1/4 speed, 1/2 speed etc. Same with turning. Anything else = Mouse+KB > joystick.
