Okay, guys
we're gonna talk about one of the most debated topics in fortnight that is console players using a keyboard and mouse versus a
controller the peripheral
debate if you will and it is
obviously an advantage to plug in a keyboard and a mouse on your
Playstation 4 and it's obvious
It is it gives you basically the same realm with your with your peripherals that it would be on a PC
so
People are pretty hot about it
Because as of right now when you go play on we're just gonna use PlayStation 4 as an example if you're using a controller
You could potentially playing against somebody that is using a keyboard mouse, but they're not on PC
They are on the same platform as you which
obviously is going to give them some sort of advantage and up until this point epic games has not made a
difference they haven't they haven't looked at this as
Different at all with the peripherals because they even have allowed in their big tournaments for hundreds of thousands of dollars
People to plug in a keyboard plug in a mouse and play on console
We saw the whole thing with the eye drops bodies guy and whether or not he was on keyboard mouse and they stated
That they can use whatever peripheral they want
well
I think things are going to change and I'm not knocking
Anybody that uses a keyboard mouse on PlayStation if you're allowed to do it go for it my son Bryce
Does it he plays on PC but when he was streaming on my channel?
he would go over to the PlayStation he would plug in his keyboard mouse and he would go to town and
You could watch him
He's a pretty good builder and he would have a distinct advantage
Against a lot of the console players that he was pitted against because technically he was pitted against console players
But he was kind of a PC player
Well, he was a PC player, but he was playing on consoling now. It looks like this has gotten so
Heated that there are going to be some changes
So if you're a console player that has gotten accustomed to playing on keyboard mouse and you know
You're getting matched up against controller players. Those days are probably going to be gone very soon
So you guys can see it on the screen here Nathan Mooney the community manager at Epic Games
Has put out a statement on there. Fortnight B are on their reddit. Okay regarding the use of keyboard mouse on consoles
we're actually working on some matchmaking tech on that way that will pair you against folks based on your choice of
peripherals, if you don't know if riff reels are that means whether or not you want to use a controller or whether or not you
Want to use a keyboard and mouse or guitar hero controller?
Whatever you want to use more info on this coming out later this week
But if you're on a keyboard and mouse, you will be going up against keyboard and mouse players
So they are not banning the keyboard and mouse
From console but what they are going to do is add another layer of matchmaking
So if you're on an Xbox or you're on a Playstation 4, I don't know if you can plug it into an Xbox
I'll just stick with Playstation 4 because I know you can if you're on a
Playstation 4 and you're using a keyboard mouse in the coming weeks
You will not be paired up against people that are using a PlayStation 4 controller
You will be in a different pool of other console players
that are using the keyboard and mouse now if this goes over into
Tournaments and it's it's that way for everything
I think this is the most fair and balanced way to handle this issue to handle this debate. I think this is perfect
now if it's still going to be custom lobbies or
Things where there's certain people that are in these big tournaments and they're playing on console yet
They're playing on a keyboard mouse and they get to pit themselves against people with a controller. I don't think that's fair
I really don't think that is fair because it is I don't know if it's proven, but it's pretty
Obvious if you look and watch people play for the most part
You are at a distinct disadvantage
If you're using a controller as opposed to somebody that has all their hotkeys has everything mapped out how they want to
With their keyboard. So if this goes all the way through the system, I think this is absolutely perfect
They're not going to stop you from using your keyboard mouse on the console
But they are going to make it where you are not playing basically cross-platform
I know you're on a console, but in all essence it's cross-platform you might as well be treated as a
PC player for the most part and you are going to be put in a pool of
Other people that are using a keyboard and mouse. This is a huge update
This is their answer to fix the problem. And I know they're probably looking at these big tournaments
They're going to be doing and trying to get ahead of them before before every tournament is won by a console player
That's using a keyboard and mouse on these online tournaments and they need to make some changes now and that
Looks like with exactly what they're gonna do. So I want to know what you guys think do you think this is fair?
Do you think they should ban the use of using other?
peripherals besides a controller on console period are you the kind of person that says hey if you're playing on a Playstation 4
You have to be using a PlayStation 4 controller or you need to go play on
PC or do you think this is a good middle ground to where everybody?
Should be happy because I mean if you look at it
It's it's pretty obvious that you can get an advantage if you're using that on a console and when you think console you're kind of
Expected to be playing with the controller and I know people will argue. Well, you can use a scuff on the controller
There's advantages there you can you can use different things on your scuff to be able to build faster
And you're absolutely right you are but I think there's still a level between a scuf controller
And a keyboard and mouse that has to be looked at and has to be addressed and that is exactly what they are doing
So you guys let me know what you think also. Let me know what you think about all the leaks
We got yesterday man a samsung galaxy
Skin that basically cost you a thousand dollars and for tonight
How many people do you think are going to go pre-order this new samsung galaxy note 9 just to get the v bucks
15,000 v bucks and just to get this skin
This will be the most rare skin in for tonight
If this ends up being true and I am curious to see how many
people they're actually gonna go try to obtain this thing and then and then when gifting comes when gifting comes
How are you going to do that?
I'm honestly thinking about
Trying to figure out a way to get a couple of these myself at a cheaper rate somehow so I can store these
Galaxy skins and then when gifting comes I can do a giveaway and give one of these freakin Galaxy skins to a team chaos member
That didn't have the means or the money to go get the the samsung galaxy note 9
I don't like the fact that if it's true, it's a 30-day exclusive thing for Android if you preorder I get what they're doing
I understand, but I'm not really keen on it
But you guys let me know what you think enjoy rest of this victory royale with me and Joe
It's pretty entertaining and I'll see you soon
