Anyone know if this will be playable with xbox 360 controller on pc?

Need to know if I should get the pc or the ps3 version as my pc is hooked up to my tv. I don't really play a lot of games on the pc but if the pc version is gonna be so much better than I'll go that route.

I haven't heard of any official news, but I know that Skyrim was kinda developed for xbox first, then PC. So, the native XBox controller *should* work. As I understand it, Oblivion did not have support for an XBox controller, but Fallout 3 had - and they mention a LOT of Fallout 3 in interviews and such. I also read you can set up Oblivion to use an XBox controller http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Co...er_for_Windows so I would think that if all else fails, it should be able to work for Skyrim as well. Otherwise, consider getting this: http://cyborggaming.com/prod/cyborgpad.htm as it is for both XBox and PC, so you get software for the PC where you can customize it.

But to get back to the subject, although no official statement has been issued (that I know of), I doubt it will be a problem.

I watched a video (an epic video) which demo'ed skyrim on an xbox 360 .... My natural assumption then is that it uses the normal controller? I dont own an xbox, but I dont think there are other input devices really for it? I could be hugely mistaken tho

Aside from that, the games looks absolutely brilliant, those unscripted dragons ... WOW!!! Cant wait, gonna be freaking awesome!

I saw the same demo last night I was very surprised to find out that it was played on an xbox :O

I wonder how it will look on the PS3 though? I'll have to make a choice to get it for ps3 or pc but so far that choice seems obvious

Even if the pc version doesn't support the 360 controller I got a program called xpadder that can map the 360 buttons to do nearly anything - even control the mouse cursor.

I can't wait for this game. I've even put in leave for the 12th

Yeah, I was not totally sold on the game(had not done enough research i guess) ... and then I saw how you can equip anything you like in each hand ... and those dragons .. wow! dam those dragons are awesome! lol

And i assume it should have a kick ass story like elder scrolls normally have

[stevovo]

To be honest, I never even finished the 4th one (oblivion). I keep starting a game, then I play through the story for a bit and then wonder off and start doing my own thing for 30 - 40 hours, then I do it all over again a few months later after I've lost the save game

[SYNERGY]

The PC version will be the best - it has mods for it

Theres a group that is even porting Morrowind to the Skrym engine!

[unskinnybob]

I hope it DOES support XBOX controller. Fallout New Vegas PC was legendary with controller (minus needing an elastic band to "auto run").

I didn't play Mass Effect 2 on account of no controller support. Suck it Bio.

I saw this on the new NAG DVD. I hope the 3rd person perspective works well!

What blasphemy is this? Developed for xbox first? That doesn't sound right

Opinion: keyboard and mouse for a game like this is infinitely better

IMHO sitting back on my recliner feet up with a wireless gamepad by FAR outweighs "more accurate aiming" with a mouse and whatever other benefits mouse/keyboard combo may have.

+1

Besides, it's swords and shields most of the time except if you going to be casting a lot of ranged spells, so you won't really need to have the accuracy of a mouse.
