PC Gamepad Compatibility List -=Update 3/20/2013=-

SpykeZ · May 31, 2011

I've spent 4+ years keeping this thread updated on another forum, figured I'd bring it over here. Some games people just like playing with a gamepad better.

Games I test are with an xbox360 wired gamepad. Wireless xbox360 gamepads using the receiver don't work in some games for whatever reason.

Also if looking for a game, use ctrl+f to find your game easier

Gamepad Software

Xpadder lets you map keyboard mouse movements to any pc game
XBOX360 Controller Emulator v3.0 will add more controller support for G4W

That RPG list is woefully short.

SpykeZ · May 31, 2011

Ya it is :\ RPG's in general are in short supply

Keep in mind some of them might be in action/adventure as well which is why I'm going to merge them. Unless the people here would like it as it's seperate category?

I was thinking of adding Fallout 3 and New Vegas to the list but I see those as more of an FPS than an RPG but then again it's whole game play mechanics are based on RPG elements. Darn hybrids!

[edit] I moved the Fallouts, they're more RPG than anything.

GanjaSMK · May 31, 2011

Sent you a PM (two actually) of a few more games to add!

Great list, many thanks. This should get stickied once it's finished, or at least I give it my vote for a sticky. I love using gamepads for some games.

pjBSOD · May 31, 2011

Burning Paradise worked with my Logitech gamepad.

Lifeshield · May 31, 2011

Thankyou very much for this list. +1.

Please add the following:

Unreal Tournament 3
Global Agenda
Left 4 Dead 2
The Witcher 2
Tomb Raider: Underworld (you have this listed as Underground)
Bulletstorm
FIFA11
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
Hunted: Demons Forge

SpykeZ · May 31, 2011

I gotta go to work but I'll be sure to add them when I get home

Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition

GanjaSMK · Jun 1, 2011

I suggest you make a Poll in this thread so I can go make another thread pointing people to this one and asking for poll votes! Or maybe wait until 50 or so posts...

Lifeshield · Jun 1, 2011

Poll for what? Oh wait was that another bump?

GanjaSMK · Jun 1, 2011

Oh you know, a poll to have this stickied!

Chuckclc · Jun 1, 2011

Does the XBOX 360 emulator thingy that has a dead link on the OP allow you to use the 360 controller on games that currently do not fully support it? IE: MVP Baseball 2005, modded of course?

Wow I got to try this! havent even heard of such a thing.

SpykeZ · Jun 1, 2011

Haha awesome

admflameberg · Jun 1, 2011

Logitech has Xinput supported gamepads the F series. as another choice if some one doesnt like the shape of the xbox 360 controller. Tho the F series has a switch function for older Dx input games to on the rear, so it can be switch from Xinput mode to dx input mode and back.

JoeWalsh · Jun 1, 2011

Under "gamepad software," perhaps add:
MotioninJoy: Allows PS3 controller to function as an HID-compliant game controller.

ps3sixaxis_en driver: MotioninJoy alternative (usage instructions in tutorial).

ControlMK: Mapping software for game controllers (should detect any/all).

I know you're testing the listed games with an X360 gamepad, but people with PS3 controllers should be able to get them working with mapping software if just the drivers/MotioninJoy doesn't work.

I've used the sixaxis drivers and ControlMK to play GRID, Burnout, MX vs. ATV, HAWX, and TMU.

I'll make up a section in the post when I wake up in the morning. Going to bed, but thanks for the info
