Mouse & Keyboard Support

So for any of the consoles (360, ONE, PS3, PS4) will this game have mouse and keyboard support? Please keep comments such as "it doesn't need mouse and keyboard support" to yourself as it doesn't answer the question. I imagine it wouldn't be supported on the 360 or PS3 because they have a history of not doing it and when they do -- it's bad However, going into the next gen, it would be nice to see KB+M support on shooters moving forward. Honestly, it would be even nicer if I just had a couple of consoles and then a tablet or something on the side. Thanks a lot :)

  • Keyboard and mouse = 90% accuracy. It's a generation thing. For the grandfathers of the world like myself, going into KBM would be so unfair to those who are so used to controller or controller only. I think that would put such a divide in the game. Different versions would have to be made. The rage quit would be the struggle

  • Do you really want to use a mouse @ 30 fps?

    • I'm hoping they don't because the majority of players will be using controllers and since KB+M is much easier it would give some an unfair advantage.

      • So many people miss a simple solution to the moaners who choose not to use kbm but state that anyone using kbm have a huge advantage (never understood that. Especially as you can get a decent kbm set up for half the price of a ps4 controller). With a game that will sell as many copies as this one it would be no big thing to limit pvp combat to kbm vs kbm and controller vs controller.. Let the game sort it out and never the twain shall meet.

      • I would appreciate mouse and keyboard compatibility, but there has been no official word on it as of yet. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

        • I know more is usually better, but in this case I hope [u]no[/u]. Keyboard and mouse [i]is[/i] better for accuracy than controller but this will have a huge effect on competitive multiplayer if added.

        • I'm saying no. It would give a significant advantage to players who chose to use a keyboard and mouse, and would upset players who did not wish, or was unable, to use such a set-up.

            Unlikely, Bungie probably will not cater to the PC crowd for a console game because that would probably drive away more players than it would attract.

            • The statistics from testing have shown time and time again that a mouse is faster, more precise and generally easier to conform to over a controler. That being said, while I agree it would be a nice feature I do not believe it will be implemented due to creating an uneven playing field in competitive multiplayer.

            • Why do people seem to believe that a mouse and keyboard is so much more superior than a controller? I use my controller on PC games and I do much better with it than when I use my keyboard and mouse. I think it's more what you are used to playing with that is superior. Although for some games a mouse and keyboard is better because a keyboard has so many keys to hot key controls, I was talking more about most fps games.

              • Personally I am coming over from PC gaming world after leaving the console world back in the 90s I have played with current gen consoles and I can get use to the difference between K&M vs controller. I prefer K&M but it isn't so much of game support, not as much as hardware support from the console them self supporting the hardware. Personally I have a $150+ mouse and $100+ keyboard I would love to use. Mouse: Cyborg MMO RAT7 Keyboard: Logitech G15 Keyboard

              • I really hope they are adding K&M support on the PS4. I´ve tried playing shooters with controller, hell, i even forced myself into playing some for over 2 weeks just to get used to it but it simply doesn´t work. It´s slow, inaccurate and well, forget about giving quick chat messages to anyone. So, as much as i love everything about Destiny, i would hate to have to skip the game (if it doesn´t come out on PC). Just let everyone decide how to play. And about those people complaining they would have to buy K&M, yeah well... You just bought a console for 400 $, add 20 more and you have it. At least basic stuff, which already is way better in control. Anyway: I really hope this will be/is added.

              • Do consoles even support the mouse and keyboard? That's where it would have to start. Then developers could simply add the support and hell, it might even cause developers to just add custom control mapping to every game. That would be great. So while I prefer a solid controller in my hands I would fully support the addition of the mouse and keyboard as a control medium.

                • there are a lot of things we don't "need". This is more in the nice to have category. If it sells more copies of the game, we get a larger more vibrant community, then what is the downside? I don't understand the thought that this will drive away more than it will attract. Is there something about KBM that people that play with controllers don't like?

                • I agree with the OP. It was implemented with Dust and although I thought it had issues, it was much better for me as a PC gamer. I think that will alleviate some concerns by the PC crowd if you could play w KBM. As far as advantage goes, if everyone can use the KBM, then where is the advantage? Those that prefer controllers are still able to use them. As for the comment about just play on the PC if I want to use KBM, I would if they sell this game for the PC. 14+ years on KBM for gaming is rough habit to break :)

                  • Yeah I feel what you mean. You can't understand how many times I've seen people being pricks over using a controller in a pc game. But this time it's a little different: While when you choose to play a pc game with a controller you accept the fact that you will suffer of an handicap in PvP, using K&M in a console game is a complete advantage. This means that a team of people using M&K to play, not necessarily a competitive match, even a normal, social, PvP, will completely devastate other people, thus ruining their experience because of their advantage. More people would then start using M&K, resulting in a complete no-sense for console gaming. Do not worry, Bungie is showing alot of interest in shipping the game to PC, and they know a huge chunk of their fanbase would buy their game for PC even if they have the console version (I for one), but right now they have to deal with 4 consoles, its not that easy. So IMO, we will likely see a PC version coming later after launch.

                    • I wouldn't mind the ability to have a keyboard for sending messages purely for ease, but not for playing. If I wanted to use a keyboard for playing I would play on my gaming computer. I'm using a console for a reason. Using a mouse and keyboard would most definitely put controller users at a disadvantage especially when it came to sniping. Way to easy with a mouse.

                    • I hope it doesn't. It would essentially make them required for competitive play - and quite frankly, I like using a controller better. And if they allowed Keyboard/mouse, I'd have to use them because they enable more control. I don't want that, I'd rather be comfortable while I retain the ability to be competetive. (And don't just say, "well, you could still use a controller!" A mouse has far more speed and accuracy. So, I couldn't)
