Abe`s Oddysee for PC Controls
 
I recently bought Abe`s Oddysee for PC and have played it before on PS1. The controls seem very difficult on the PC and I was wondering if there is some way to change them?


Edit: I haven`t played this game in so long! Is it possible to make 2 mudokons follow you at once in this game? I can only seem to get one to follow at once.

I don't remember if you can change controls, propably not - they're really not difficult, you just have to get used to it... for me PS controls are hard (really, how could them put all 9 Abe speeches into pad controls?) :D

Only in Abe's Exoddus

i think the PSone's controls are hard and the PC is easy.

You can't change it. your going to have to stick with it i'm affrid

wow, I totally disagree with you guys, the pc controls seem overly complex and the PSX controls make so much more sense to me :p (especially for exoddus).

Guess it's just which version you've played more.

I like the PC 1 to 0 keys for Gamespeak
I didn't like you have to do a combination of buttons to talk on the PSone

I like the PSX combo buttons for Gamespeak
I didn't like you have to press 1-0 keys to talk on the PC

you say tomato and I say L2+Square :p

Why? It's sorted for faster selection... I think it's quite good solution

Grieva 03-25-2010 12:14 PM

Yeah it is a very good solution,

I suppose it's that everytime I want to talk I have to move my hands around the keyboard, and just that I'm more used to the PSX version

If you're using normal digit keys, I can tell you it's not really long way using left hand :) You can also use Numeric Keypad which is much closer to arrow keys :P There is no need for shorter way due to fact that you can't talk while walking/running/jumping etc. :)

I use a laptop, so I don't have the numeric keypad, but I still find it very easy to use the digit keys along the top for GameSpeak. Mind you, I've never played the PS version...

You can buy a gamepad and set AO to use it. There would be a way to change the controls, but that's Pauls department.

Yeah it is a good solution for the PC, button combos wouldn't work as well on a keyboard
