I thought you had to have a FragFX or similar hardware to use the keyboard and mouse for actual games on consoles.
Any one pick up Killzone 2?

Did you play a game with the keyboard an mouse or just browse the internet from the PS3? I was under the understanding it was for browsing only.

No I played games with it. Weird it sounds like I wasn't supposed to be able to? My PS3 isn't modded either.

Ok I tried this last night and was not able to play Killzone 2 with it. After some research I found that Killzone 2 does not support it. So Baez did you play Killzone 2? If so how??

No I haven't got Killzone yet. Grabbing it this weekend probably. So it's pretty likely it won't work.
you know whats weird theres actually youtube videos of people playing kz2 with a M+K so either its a hoax ( which many youtube commentors suggested ) or their really is PS3 specific hardware that can do it. Either way a M+K won't work as well as you guys think because of controller input lag.
For those that don't know, theres controller input lag in the game, which means it takes take for your character to move even after recieving the input. Just turn left and right in the game and you'll notice it. The designers specifically put this into the game to "give the game a weighty feel," and this effect is defiantely more dramatic in single player then multiplayer. From a game design stance I think this was a HORRIBLE decision, I mean I don't even have to explain why...its just so obvious how input lag totally screws up gameplay mechanics. Eitherway the defenders of it said it won't change and the game isn't supposed to be a COD4, so oh well just gotta live with it.
Also consoles should seriously not allow people to play with a M+K combo ( or if they do, not require special hardware for it ). Theres a video of a game critic guy getting UT3 to work for the xbox ( or PS3? I forget ) and he shows just how badly you can dominate the console people in such a fast paced game ( he also shows tricks you can do with a M+K that you can't do with a controller like instant 180s and rocket jumps ). Console games should be on equal playing ground and its one of their strengths for competition that shouldn't be taken away.

Gabb there is a patch out for Killzone 2 now, came out last week I think?? Any way the controls are now normal and no delay. The game is much better now and I have played it more often since

i was gonna say how much i liked the first one for xbox...but it turns out i am thinking of "killswitch". which is a freaking awesome game BTW.
no I know about that patch and there was rumors it decreased the input lag and didn't get rid of it ( these are all rumors apparently no one even knows what the patch really did to be sure ). Anyways I am speaking primarily for single player, not multiplayer ( which already has tighter controls I hear ). I'm still playing single player and as we speak there is still input lag. When I turn, Sev doesn't turn instantly, there is some time and it makes head shots incredibly hard to line up against a moving enemy because theres also trigger lag.
