Ubisoft: Play Assassin's Creed 3 PC With A Controller [Mar 28, 2012, 11:24 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
There's a preview of Assassin's Creed 3 on GameSpy with quotes from Ubisoft Montreal Creative Director Alex Hutchinson about what to expect from the stealth/action sequel. The author deserves extra points for the concluding Q&A expressing skepticism that the PC edition of the game will be released alongside the console editions. On another PC-related topic, they learn that their professed "love" and plans for "supporting" the PC does not include putting time into mouse and keyboard support (thanks Destructoid). Here's word:
Sadly the PC version won't get much special treatment, he admitted: "We're definitely supporting PC, we love PC, but I think it'll be PC with a controller. I don't see us investing hugely in a mouse and keyboard setup. I think if you want to play on PC and you want to play Assassin's Creed, you have a controller."
This is patently absurd, as if keybinding was some arduous task that will involve the entire company. What's next, Kinect only? Sorry controller users, its all about motion now.
I hope he means something silly like not showing the PC prompts for QTE segments. Not allowing the use of KB/M is basically saying "we want free monies from you without doing any work", I can only assume he meant custom binds or whatever. The AC games have enough controls that custom keybinds are practically a necessity. Hell I find myself wanting to redo their input scheme even on the controllers.
