IGN: Penguin United Eagle Eye Converter Review

If you really want to play PS3 FPS games like you do on PC, you have the time to optimize your settings, view some tutorials, and you have a USB mouse and keyboard (though they better not be wireless or use their own drivers, as they likely won't work), the Eagle Eye Converter is the best option out there. The reality, though, is that this is a niche item that doesn't function well enough or easily enough to recommend for its $60 price.

they should make this PS3/360, since the same converter is now also available for the 360.

Also, this thing came out a while back, why such a late review haha?

dkgshiz5212d ago

Mu friend got one of these two weeks ago. It was pretty much just trash. Pretty unresponsive.

HellzAssassin5212d ago

Yeah, I could say the same about my brother.

He's a hardcore FPS PC gamer. In fact, he's currently in a LAN tournament in Florida for CSS. He bought this wanting to play some of the PS3 exclusive games such as Resistance and Killzone with a mouse and keyboard and was sadly disappointed in how bad the product was. He's hoping for an update that'll fix the unresponsive controls...

these kids think it will make them better

^ Well, having a control setup that you're more comfortable with would actually make you better.

Though if expensive peripherals like this get made, then it's going to make online FPS matches an unbalanced affair.

Personally, I find games running at 30fps being more of an barrier on console FPS games than the actual controls.

xTruthx5212d ago

Its been working 4 me lol, depends on the mouse you got too

Jaws0075212d ago

who the hell would want to play with a shitty mouse and keyboard when gaming? wouldn't feel right sitting in my lazy boy chair.

Shuklar5212d ago (Edited 5212d ago )

Wow, just like G4, IGN is really on the ball. /s

This was shown last year during CES, and released August 2010. They showed the 360 version during CES 2011.

Ign sucks ass. This peripheral should get at minimum a 7.5. If you d/l the new firmware 2.0, set it up which with easy instructions and video instructions, takes all of 10 minutes and then do an in game calibration it feels almost like it would on pc. For that fact alone this should get a 7.5 because all the other mouse/keyboard adapters and converters are ass compared to it. It does have some movement inconsistencies from time to time and i've been online with it and i either do the same or better with it usually but i usually just stick to the controller and use the eagle eye for single player games because it works like a charm on single player. Again i would say this deserves an 8 for what it does not a 5.5. I bet they didn't even know how to set it up right. Ign are a bunch of casual lamo's.

20 Years Ago, Guild Wars Made a Promise That it Still Hasn't Broken Today

After 20 years of ongoing service, the original Guild Wars still makes good on a promise it made that no other MMORPG has been able to truly mimic.

Been there since day 1, and the first beta, same with GW2. 20 years and they never said oh now we need to charge a monthly fee, and they only made Guild Wars no other games. I'm going to assume GW3 will have the same business model.

I got to 50 I believe but never got into it very much.It was fun but all of my friends were still playing EQ. Good to see it’s still going though.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos3d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto3d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba3d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz2d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u2d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
