30K 0 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) So GR:FS is not for the PC as I am sure you have heard about & you still like the classic PC Style Keyboard and Mouse to play with? A possibility may be here. Basicly it would be like setting up a PC that can play high quality games without the updates and drivers and Graphics cards to worry about. What I am talking about is the XBOX 360 yes that's right the XBOX 360, if you don't like the Console Controls, You can buy adapters such as this one http://xim3.com/?page_id=187 (I Do Not Have One Myself But I Am Thinking Of Getting One) so that you can actually plug in a USB Keyboard and Mouse into this device and it will play just as a PC! All you need is an Adapter, a Small TV Screen, a Regular Computer Desk and an XBOX 360. You could set your gaming station up just the same as a PC on your Computer Desk. That site also shows you how to set up the device. But there may be one problem so don`t get your hopes up.. Here it is.. I do not know if gr:fs will be supported or even if it will work with this set up. This is something you would probably have to speak with the vendor about!

Rocky 1,223 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Sounds promising, although for me it would have to be a PS3 version. I am not sure if they are working on one for the PS3 or not, but I will find out! There is a PS3 keyboard gadget out there, not sure if it is good as this device though. Thanks for the info, I'll look a bit deeper into this as there is no way I am playing GR:FS with a joypad, keyboard FTW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They released a version for Xbox 360 recently. And they work I own one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky 1,223 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yes, Eagle Eye that was it. I have not bought one yet, but I really am thinking about it, if GRFS is console only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky 1,223 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Our interview with the XIM3 guys is up now, read about the XIM3 gadget for the X360 here! Some interesting details in there, particularly on how they tweak the device for specific games to get the greatest accuracy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blame 42 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 What's in it for Ghost Recon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OldGhost 3 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 A prediction. This may force game console makers to include this technology and control hookups into their consoles. AND......... Speed the extinction of games made for PC. OldGhost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cons72 0 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I would be concerned this would violate the XBL terms of service. leading to an account or console ban. Especially seeing as there is software running between the controller and K/M, seems like it could fall under system tampering even though it does not internally change any XBL operating system.
