So that's the theoretical perfect controller IMO. (Oh wait, I just remembered: there's an analog keyboard that got Kickstarted, which would let you press WASD "by degrees," which in turn would let you move in any angle you want by combination of degrees.

(A theoretical ideal controller would somehow replace WASD with full analog any-direction any-speed directional control) Controller's just limited for twitchy 3D shooter games. (I could explain further why it's worse, but it would be confusing and theoretical rambling probably. You may prefer immediate comfort over long term potential though Sooo, ultimately I think that while this control scheme is presently the most natural for you because of prior experience, I think you're greatly limiting how good you can get, because of the theoretical (and practical) limitations of the controller. If it just maps the stick to WASD then it's likely the answer is "no." The way to answer the question would just be to see if you can walk in incremental angles between, say, forward (W) and forward-right (WD). or does the stick just get remapped to the 8 directions available with WASD. Does the movement analog let you move at arbitrary angles? (like: angles between diagonals).

The motion and precision required for that sounds like it would be exhausting for your thumb, and imprecise.Īll that being said, it does sound kind of intriguing and i tend to enjoy adjusting to unfamiliar control schemes so i might try it. But, just thinking about the motion required: it sounds like it would forever be harder to do: walking while using extremely brief bursts of running to dodge attacks. you can probably get really consistent at walking/running consistently. It does sound kinda cool though, although I feel like there's a risk of running when you meant to walk and getting pushed over and killed, but it can probably be adjusted to. It sounds like it has two distinct stages, rather than, for example, your movement speed increasing gradually as you tilt the stick further. That doesn't sound especially like "full range" analog.
