I can't use a controller and this will remap any controller function to the KB and mouse.

I am looking at the PS4 first since it has the exclusives I want to play.

This device I will be testing out xim4.

I want to play Red Dead, Uncharted, Last of Us, and Horizon: Zero Dawn. I want to know if there are any good deals out there that include any of these games?

The console package I bought a few months ago came with Uncharted. Uncharted Bundle. Have no clue if there are actual savings on the bundle.

I think Last of Us is pretty cheap but get the remastered version.

Now the bad news. Red Dead is only PS3 and not backward compatible on the 4.

Don't worry about Red Dead since the new game is out later this year.

Not worried about price as much as this set up working, but I save where I can.

This is the best I can find right now, Includs Uncharted 4 but I want to play the others first.

It's amazing that the console and a game is 1/2 the price of one video card...

I wouldn't buy all the games until you are sure the adapter really works.

I would play Last of Us and Uncharted. Most folks end up playing Last of Us a couple of times. If you love Uncharted 4, then you might enjoy the first 3 games. The controls were a bit wonky in U1 but they vastly improved for U2.

Once you get those out of your system, you can check for deals on Horizon. Console games tend to retain higher prices longer than PC games or at least the ones I looked at held onto their price.

Good. Playing in order will be better since some of the characters carry over. Also huge leaps in controls and graphics. I played 4, then 1,2 and 3. 1 would have been more enjoyable if I didn't realize the controls and camera suck compared to 4.

The Drake Collection is $20.

Last of Us Remastered $17.

Uncharted Bundle for 4.

I really was shocked by how great the games looked and played.

GMG has deals on PS games now.

I am going to get this set up and see if it works as you suggested.

I will try out UC4 to see how the set up works but not play it, and go from there.

But it IS on PSNow. Which you can use a free trial for a week (pretty sure... May be a month) and play red dead revolver and redemption as well as the undead.

Nah, I have family business this weekend, and with download codes I can switch quickly if it works.



EDIT


ordered and it will be here friday, we will see if it works, playing from my recliner on a big screen will be interesting.

I used xim3 for my 360, it was amazing for battlefield 3. jumped from 1.5 to 3.5 KD.

best part about playing FPS on console with the adapter is, whereas PC has a different button for every action, and you may wind up with 15+ different controls.... mapping it off the console youll only have about 8. 1 button for weapon swap, etc.

edit:: in regards to your posts more specifically, it was obv years ago but the company was reliable and they always had updates and downloads for each game. forums will teach you anything you need to know. you can customize it as far as having custom sensitivities for ADS( aim down sights) and normal view. only reason i dont have a 4 is because they were still in production when the xbone launched. it actually was one of the deciding factors in my first PC build.

I can adapt to most things if I can have control of them. I know you have to wait for game specific "game controls" but the games other than Zero Dawn are not new games.

if i remember correctly most of the times when a new game launches one of the other games set ups typically work. like when a new COD would come out guys would be on forums saying to use the halo setup. might see a minor quirk here and there, and they werent all that behind, it's just they have to get their hands on the game before they can dive in and do the setup themselves before they push it out.

id hop on their forums if you can and see how recent the posts are, make sure the people who run it are still active.

I don't do MP unless it's an MMO so that's not an issue for me, I just want to play some exclusives since the PC game releases suck arse right now.

Don't waste your time.

Just watch the cutscenes on YouTube. That is all the game is, cutscenes.

Yawn.

Your hatred of Uncharted is ridiculous. The game has plenty of action, story and fantastic graphics.

Stop playing games and go watch your favorite Transformers movie.

It's a terrible game. The action, is always the same so damn scripted. Graphics are extremely impressive but it stops there.

Well it seems like you might be that default guy. Defending Uncharted is right up there with being a Michael Bay fan. No?

The game is not a good game. They can be fun and 4 was the best of the series . But damn what a struggle to get through. It's like you are pushed and pulled in the world with no choice for yourself.
