Keyboard or Gamepad

Postby Morten1337 » Sat Sep 17, 2011 6:35 pm

quick question...
Are you using a keyboard or a controller when playing thps.
and if you're using the keyboard, do you use WASD or the arrows?

I'm getting an error when trying to submit.

My input on this: I have never been a fan of controllers. I seriously hate using my thumbs to control my character, it goes with everything - FPS games, THPS games, Snowboarding games, etc, I can only use a keyboard because it feels more natural for me.

I do NOT use WSAD, I've set up a custom keybinding which feels pretty natural to me, i've had it like this for over 6 years and i've gotten used to it.

Up, Down, Left, Right
C = Grind
A, S = Revert
Tab = Get off board
Control = Grab trick
Alt = Flip Trick

Pretty weird bindings, I know. Only problem with it is I sometimes accidentally alt tab. But otherwise, in my opinion, it's a very "ergonomic" arrangement of keys. For me, at least.

That is one WEIRD ass control setup!

Keyboard on PC, gamepad on console. Seems like no PC gamepads work well enough for any of the THPS ports lol.

I use default thps4 keyboard settings, which are arrows and 2468. Used to use gamepad, and could never imagine that keyboard would actually be better after playing thps since thps2. However me and my friend (who never played thps) asked me to use keyboard so we would be equal. We played a lot of thps4 and then after 2 weeks or something I realised that I perfected the keyboard controls. And It's really weird that I learned keyboard in 2 weeks, while gamepad/joystick is still a struggle for me.


P.S. I've no idea why can't we vote lol the poll script may be broken, but I've seen it work before and haven't touched it.

Gamepads all of the way for me.

I also seem to be having problems with voting too.

My logitech controller works fine with THPS PC, It's not very hard to get used to 2-button DD, i couldn't play the game with a keyboard cause it was too hard

I'm fine either way. I can play it on consoles, but if you give me a pc version I won't complain.
