When it comes to Konami and Collections, I know to have doubts going in, it's just best to be cautious at this point.
Weird. I'm not personally bothered by it though, as I play all third person games with a controller. M/K should still be mandatory for any PC release.
Was going to use a controller anyways BUT this tells me all I need to know about the quality of the PC ports. It’s going to be very low effort in all possible ways, everything will be blurry, low FPS lock, bad controls with no options at all for anything, etc
someone will mod it in :P (sucks that they even have to, hopefully over time Konami patches kb & m controls)
I've never seen anyone refer to these games as shooters, especially the original titles with their awkward controls.
2 and 3 appeared too, i managed to wishlist them before they got removed.I've managed to get in the steam page, apparently it was just MGS1 on Steam for now? Maybe its not the case for all the games
MGS1 is clearly an emulated PSX version so no KB&M makes sense.I've managed to get in the steam page, apparently it was just MGS1 on Steam for now? Maybe its not the case for all the games
I don't think every PC game has to support KB+M, but really devs should really just include keyboard controls to avoid the negative PR no matter how shitty they are to use.
Maybe not every but M+KB is still used by majority or at least half of the PC gamers..not supporting native controls for a major title or titles is really poor. Honestly this screams of a straight console to PC port to me.
The Castlevania and Contra collections were done by M2 and leagues better than most retro comps we get.
The TMNT one, while with your typical issues from DE, was better than a lot of stuff too.
How the fuck do you do this? Shit, even for games that straight up tell you to use a controller on PC (Outer Wilds), you can still use full keyboard and mouse. This is a joke.
I'd assume because they aren't native ports, but emulated straight from Playstation (especially MGS1).
The Law of K states that in any given scenario, K (Konami) will do the most Konami thing possible.

Example:
Good. Clearly Kojima-sans artistic vision never considered mouse and keyboard to be an option for the player to use. Thus these ports should not tolerate attempts by filthy PC players to subvert this holy artistic intent. Indeed, the games should check if there is any mouse and keyboard connected when they are launched, and instantly crash the PC if that's the case.
I was always going to play with a controller anyway, but doesn't fill me with hope about the general quality of the port.
Honestly for these games as long as there is a resolution selector, I'm set. We already know it will run at 60 FPS because the 360 and PS3 versions do, and this is based on these. So the likely 60 FPS cap won't bother me (a 30 FPS cap would)
(MGS1 probably IS capped at 30 but eh, it's a PSX game)
No M+K support means a lot of accessibility devices are fucked, yay for gamers with disabilities.
