Just look what happened last october regarding fortnite and xim not working, the playerbase loved it......until the xim developer found a workaround and epic didnt bother anymore. Definitely would be a chance for apex to stand out from pubg and fortnite where they failed. Plus lets be honest the only ones complaining and stating xim isnt cheating are the xim users. And yes xim is detectable, at least on xbox.
Is using a steering wheel cheating on Forza? That would be a nope. Are all steering wheel input devices made by Microsoft? Again nope! Do any third party companies that make steering wheel controllers get banned for making a better input device for driving games? Again guess what, NOPE! The Xim movements are sent thru and translated thru the controller. Meaning simply the keyboard and mouse movements go thru the Xim then thru the controller so to make sure those movements can’t exceed anything that a controller can’t do. Sure, it can do it a hell of a lot better. But, sorry if you choose to use a device that is less capable of doing a job then another. I’ll use a steering wheel when playing Forza and I don’t get separated into any “Steering Wheel” only servers. And to be honest I’ve never heard any controller players on Forza whining about steering wheel users like FPS players do. So I’m personally not asking any Xim user to apologize for playing a game how they choose!
And as far as EA winning back respect or player base if they did what you ask. I think if EA just enables native Keyboard and Mouse input for the game, which both Xbox and PS4 are capable of. They would win ten times the number of players that would come over from PC because they are tired of all the hacks and cheats that PC players have to deal with. And I do believe this will happen soon. Times change, input devices change. Adapt, overcome, improvise.
Didnt realise we where talking about forza.....oh hang on we are not. Now if you said playing an fps in vr counted as cheating, well thats up to the developers but tbh i would get behind that, sounds awsome. But comparing a mouse and keyboard "adapter" (and lets be clear we are talking about "adapters" not mouse and keyboard), to a steering wheel in another game is just not the same, yes its another input device but it doesnt give a significant advantage. Where as an adapter to use mouse and keyboard does. Mouse and keyboard should be alowed and in thier seperate severs in my opinion regardless of platform but thats not the major issue. Its the xim users that still choose to use the adapter to bypass seperation to get into controller lobbies to gain that advantage, and thats why it lays in the realm of cheating. And back to the steering wheel, im pritty sure you can take that and use it at a tournament but xim can not as one unfortunate rainbow six player discovered.
are you talking about that or gamer who got caught cheating in the middle of a tournament. that was some hilarious footage of. him batting away the refs hand.
you can hope for controller only lobbies all you want. there hasn't been controller only lobbies for MORE THAN TEN YEARS NOW. don't get your hopes up its gonna happen anytime soon.
if you wanna keep making post about it. that's cool. it is the number one way to spread the word about a better way to play the game. people like salty tears. keep em coming
