Mouse and Keyboard Confirmed for DUST 514

CCP confirmed via tweet earlier this week that DUST 514, its EVE Online first-person shooter, would support keyboard and mouse control schemes on the PS3 console. This means if you have a USB keyboard and mouse sitting around for your PlayStation, you’ll be able to use them as your primary method of control in lieu of the PS3 controller. Duh.

DUST isn’t the first game to support keyboard and mouse controls – Unreal Tournament 3 featured a similar setup. The addition of this control mode should come as a comfort to PC gamers that believe keyboard and mouse inputs are the only true way to play shooting games, and will make it easier to chat back and forth with the other players roaming the world.

DUST 514 is set for release sometime this summer on both PS3 and PC. Since it will feature cross-platform support, it only makes sense that PS3 players have the same control options as PC players.
Do you prefer the keyboard and mouse setup?

You REALLY think that's the reason why cross platform never got anywhere? You never gave it a thought that the reason is more because of servers, optimisation, network, proprietary networks, software etc.
It has hardly anything to do with the controller.. IT's the problem of the different hardware enviroment, licences etc. Clear examples is how CoD servers work, one part is dedicated while others are peer-to-peer based depending on platform.

It's been proven many times to be the reason, gamepads simply cannot compete with the precision of the mouse/keyboard combo.
The hole in your argument in DC Universe Online, which is cross-platform.
I guess you forgot about, or aren't aware of, Shadowrun which was also cross-platform. Xbox players were getting beaten handily by PC players in that game.
Your arguments serve only to highlight your woeful lack of hardware knowledge and experience.

i used to own the fuck out of M/K users on Bad Company 2 with my PS3 controller via Motionjoy, and i'm good, but i wouldn't consider myself a pro

And DC Universe kinda contradicts what you are saying, it is NOT cross platform, yes, it is capable of being cross platform, but it isn't because of legal issues, it has nothing to do with what console has thee advantage, in fact, DC Universe is a game where it makes more sense to use a game-pad then it is a M/K

Oh hell yes. Too bad I have no interest in this particular game. Still the more games that support M/KB the more likely it will be added to future FPS's. It's a must, won't play the genre without a mouse.

Console pros can go cry in the corner. It takes no skill to use autoaim and analog sticks.

right, and it does take skill to put your mouse on a targets head and click? consoles, whether their controls are better for shooters or not, are harder to master.
