If you are one of the few people who is still playing video games on a console, then you know that sometimes it can seem like a complicated process. If you are interested in playing Watch Dogs with a controller, then I’m afraid that you will be disappointed to find out that it is not supported by this game. However, if you are having trouble with the game and need help beating a level or completing an objective, then you should definitely check out games tips for Watch Dogs.
How to play Watch Dogs with a controller
Watch Dogs was developed with PC in mind, so do not expect to be able to play it on your Xbox360 or PS3. Ubisoft has announced that they will be releasing an Xbox 360 and PS3 version at some point in the near future.
If you have been playing your video games on a console for most of your life and want to switch over to PC gaming, I’m sorry to say that this is not going to happen anytime soon. When this game was released it was only for PC. This is the first time that a game has been made for PC and it looks like more games are going to be developed this way in the future. If you want to play Watch Dogs on console, you have to wait until Ubisoft releases these ports later on this year or early next year.
Another reason why Watch Dogs was not released for Xbox360 or PS3 is because new generation consoles are starting to come out. For example, Microsoft announced their newest console called XBOX ONE and Sony will be releasing their newest PlayStation 4 at E3 this year.
What are external controllers?
External controllers are devices that you can connect to your computer or gaming console to control your game play. There are many different types of external controllers, but the most popular ones for Watch Dogs are gamepads and steering wheels.
Gamepads look like miniature versions of a PlayStation or Xbox controller, and they plug into your USB port. They usually have two analog sticks, a d-pad, and several buttons. Steering wheels are designed to give you a more realistic driving experience, and they also plug into your USB port. Most steering wheels have pedals that simulate the accelerator and brake, and some even have a shifter.
If you’re playing Watch Dogs on PC, you can use either a gamepad or a steering wheel. If you’re playing on a console, you’ll need to use the controller that came with your console.
External controllers can really enhance your gaming experience, so if you’re looking for a way to take your Watch Dogs gameplay to the next level, consider investing in one!
Why should I use an external controller with Watch Dogs?
There are a number of reasons you might want to use an external controller with Watch Dogs. Maybe you’re more comfortable using a traditional gamepad, or maybe you find the on-screen controls too fiddly. Whatever your reasons, using an external controller can give you a distinct advantage in Watch Dogs.
External controllers can offer greater precision and accuracy than on-screen controls, and they can also be more ergonomic, meaning you won’t get as tired playing. If you’re looking to up your game, using an external controller is definitely worth considering. There are a number of ways you can go about this. One method is to plug your Dual Shock 3 or 4 controller into your PlayStation 4 and use the PS4 controller in tandem with the onscreen controls.
You may find this works better for you than using an external controller, but we’d recommend giving it a try either way. Another approach is to use your Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller via an adapter (we’ve used one from Nikko for this guide). The only real downside here is that most controllers are designed for PC users, so you might have to get a little inventive when setting something up. So if you’re looking to get more from Watch Dogs using an external controller – or if you’ve just got a different preference entirely –
