Much-wanted peripheral support to be included in PlayStation version of Epic FPS
Format holders have long resisted it for fear of muddying the perception that their machines are not simply PCs that sit under the TV – but it seems that Sony is to break the mould and allow Epic to implement ‘proper’ mouse and keyboard support in unreal Tournament III.
CVG reports that on the UTIII forum, Epic boss Mark Rein stated: “I checked with Steve Polge and he said that, yes, we are supporting keyboard and mouse in Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3.
“He is confident we are doing it in a way that will be balanced without feeling ‘gimped’ for either side. We'll also allow people to choose whether or not they want to allow mixed controller vs. keyboard/mouse games or not.”
The decision flies in the face of previous FPS conversions – most notably Microsoft’s recent cross-platform Shadowrun, which saw joypad-equipped 360 owners take on mouse-touting PC hardnuts.

ps3 mouse keyboard
Why is it when a mouse and keyboard is intoduced on PS3 everyone lashes out that its no longer a consol experience but a PC? Please... its just another way to play, and it happens to be more fun for some people. Its not like theyre wiping out the controller, so please chill. Its all about having fun. The more options the better and the larger the market. Hope to see more games with it.

Hopefully when the next Call of Duty (COD5) comes out that will support keyboard and mouse too.
Re: ps3 mouse keyboard
I've been holding off from buying either a Xbox360 or PS3, because of both systems lacking Keyboard and mouse control... I'm not the only PC gamer who would dig deep into his/her pocket if this were implimented by either console. Sony has taken a tentative step by allowing UT to include this desired control for FPS games... However, until it becomes standard with all FPS games, and indeed Strategy games on consoles, I shall be keeping my wallet tightly shut. I won't say that I haven't been tempted, but having played an FPS on a friends Xbox360, the targeting help is just so... well! downriight embarrassing and unrealistic. Sony and Microsoft are missing out on millions of lost sales because of their intransigence.
