Gamepad for Split Second

Hey Guys!

Well I know that the game is a bit old but I've checked and found it works on my lappy. So what I want to ask is that which gamepad would b better to play it. I've searched for Microsoft X-Box Pad. Is it worth buying it for d game? Actually I'm not that much found of games but just a casual gamer :neutral:

Also Is there any game like this? Sadly NFS MW 2012 is unable to run on laptop

Thanks for your valuable replies :!:

Yes its worth it if you have money.

Racing games are meant to be played with Gamepads only. Buy one, that fits your budget.
You can try Blur.

Okay but 'Blur' is a Gamepad or it's alternative :?:

Can I buy it from ebay

Blur is a game and not a controller.

try Burnout Paradise .. one of the best racing games i ve played..
And Yes A 360 pad is great

Hello

The good news for me is that 'Blur' is also compatible on my laptop. But this makes me confuse that which one should I buy now

So I read the review of Split Second Here and that of Blur Here which makes me double minded

Actually I want to play as a single player , no multiplayer mode. So which one of it you guys would suggest me?
Thanks again

What are the specs on your laptop ?
I have split second and it freaking sucks..
The graphics and concept is good but IDK I never liked it EVER..
But do note that it is one of the rare PC games that have fully functional split screen support

I liked Split Second very much, specially the MP part.

Furtherstated tht luckily 'Burnout Paradise' can also run on lappy. I check d compatibility on SystemRequirements site. I've also gone through the review of this game on GameSpot where it is mentioned as Best Racing Game hving 9.0 Rating

. So I think It makes me hard to make choice for... Nw I want to buy this very game :/

get XBOX360 gamepad from flipkart or ebay

Blur,Split Second both are excellent games...
graphics wise Split Second is good
Split Second is more action oriented :mrgreen:

its an arcade freestyle racing (think GTA)..
The reason I prefer that over Split second is the driving mechanism is much more fun in Burnout Paradise than in splitsecond..
Especially the drifting part

Actually I find Split Second more enjoying than Blur because of its weird drifting style.

if you are play only one or two games then I don't think it would be worth to invest in a new Xbox-360 controller. check for second hand controller or cheaper alternate (which has analog trigger buttons).

Yeah , I'm searching for second hand gamepad or like that of PS3 version pad

^second hand @rs500
instead get this

Microsoft Wired Controller - Microsoft: Flipkart.com

Btw it all depends upon ur budget

If you buy any other console contrller, you can easily emulate the 360 controller by using xbox360cemu.. It supports almost ALL games..
But if u do buy something else, try to get something that has ANALOG triggers like the 360

research a bit, and find your controller..
I for one never liked the Xbox controller anyway (I dont like the layout)

Check this out.. perhaps this has analog triggers ?

Hmmm
That's a nice controller but I dnt want to invest this much amount for a GamePad. I'm planning for 1k for the device

Rest is for d game :razz:

then get controllers from Enter,iBall

If you are on a budget, Id recommend you get the Frontech JIL 1731..
I bought it 3 years ago and its still working like a BAWZ

I used it continuously and it worked without breaking a sweat..
The bad thing is, it doesnt have analog triggers

only digital (although in mostPC games, theres no difference)

Try ebay you can get a Logitech F310 for 1.1k from there .

@Nerevarine: Analog triggers is a must for racing games, it allows one to control the speed. I too had a Frontech gamepad, but when I switched to Xbox 360 Controller, I could easily control the speed of the cars. Thats one of the reason why I didn't suggest Frontech. BTW can you check if one of the analog sticks can be used for throttle?

+1, this has analog triggers.

You got me confused .. Is analog triggers really used for controlling acceleration ?? I used the left analog sticks for acceleration and right for reverse.. Both used together for drift.
I use triggers for handbrake and siren
By triggers i mean by the the upper shoulder buttons

AFAIK yes, triggers are used for acceleration, I used one of the sticks for steering and one for free look i.e, looking at sides or back

EDIT.. upper shoulder buttons are called bumpers, usually marked with RB (right bumper) or LB (left bumper) those are not analog, just buttons, triggers are marked at RT (Right Trigger) and LT (Left Trigger) these are analog

I used settings like this. other buttons are not configured in the below figure.
