Dirt Showdown Controller Tests on Ubuntu Linux
150Further investigating Virtual Programming's latest port, Dirt Showdown, we go in-depth to see what controllers work with the title and if plug-and-play can be achieved with ease.
Timeline:
1. Intro 0:00
2. Logitech Rumblepad 2 3:41
3. PS1 5:42
3. PS2 7:26
4. PS3 Wired 8:50
5. PS3 Wireless 10:40
6. PS4 Wired 11:24
7. PS4 Wireless 12:43
8. 360 Wired 15:00
9. 360 Wireless 16:32
10. Outro/Summary 18.20
The end results are pretty amazing. All controllers are pretty much just plug-and-play, with the only exception being PS3's controller in wireless mode (I was unable to pair the device via Bluetooth even after using QTsixA or it's CLI mode).
Downright, I would recommend the PS4 controller as the winner amongst all others. Wirelessly, it has the best vibration feedback and wireless is pretty awesome for clean and clear gaming!
My verdict: Virtual Programming has surprised me even further with this test. If they can continue to bring this level of performance or better, with this level of support, they will become the number one Linux porters in my book!
I may have made mistakes, and if I have done so, please forgive me and correct me in the comments. I've tried to do this benchmark and review to the best of my knowledge and capabilities.
