Well I don't know about apple gaming controlers.
or android ones.
But in general unless they supported mini/micro usb and lightning and
the old connector well hmmm who would do it.
Now I don't see any issue of a universal bluetooth controler for any device.
What happens if you try to connect a standard bluetooth controler, I
know ms controlers for xbox can work on windows maybe other things to
who knows.
You may need an app for xbox 360 or other controlers to work with your
android or i device but thats probably it if I understand it right.
So in theory it would work with a standard bluetooth controler of any sort.

For me, I'd rather use either a bluetooth keyboard to play games or a

better to just do that. Like in silversword, I'd much, much rather navigate
using the arrow keys.

I do think charlse has a point here, indeed it's the unique control methods
such as analogue use of the touch screen and the motion and tilt sensors that
make the iphone control so unique for games in the first place, so using other
controllers would be a little odd.
That being said, I will say one problem which several action games have had is
using multiple controls for the same sequence.
Imagine playing an Ios beatemup like streetfighter where you have movement
buttons of your character plus say several different attack buttons, or a
spaceship game where you had multiple weapons which would usually be tied to
specific keys.
inventory or action toggles and the like are okay as far as they go, eg, two
finger tap to switch weapons as in audio defense, but they're not as immediate
as they would be in a fast action situation, and for actually locating on
screen buttons sinse a vi player can't locate them visually, and sinse in a
self voicing action game there wouldn't be time to flick to them with vo, you
mostly can only use buttons in the corners of the device, which limits you to
four, though I suppose with controlling how those controls were access, ie,
single tap or two finger tap you might exchange the rate.
Then again, fast action sequences are also just the sorts of sequences it'd be
perfect to use more complex analogue motions for anyway, ---- for example
suppose youu had a beatemup where you moved your phone up and down to hit high
and low and turned it to block, so I'm even not sure on that one.
I would've said the physical layout of a joypad would be needed for occasions
when the position of controls is important, eg, arrows up down left and right,
however using vertical navigation and voiceover you can find these well enough
(it's rather necessary in adventure to fate battle arena).
Of course there are keyboards which are needed for text input, sinse I
personally wouldn't fancy playing a mud or interactive fiction game on Ios
trying to use the on screen keyboard or risk dictation, but that's fully
implemented already.
all the best,
Dark.

Only thin, though, is that the motion sensors are in the device, not the
controller. That would be kind of like trying to tilt your phone with a
Bluetooth keyboard, wouldn't it? It won't work.

For Blindside and Audio Defense, at least, it would be interesting to have
these controlers. I haven't played Blind Legend, so ... no opinion. It's always
nice to have multiple options.
Still, the two games I have played offer the most emersion with the
accelerometer option. The finger swipe option is workable, as (I suppose) is
the tilt option for some, but the motion control option feels most ...
interactive. I think that adding the controlers to these titles would be cool,
but I'd also like, maybe like more, if the developers were simply more aware of
our interest in these devices. IF people are more aware of our interest and the
devices's availability, I'm sure they could come up with even more interesting
and appropriate titles for the controler style of gameplay.

Accessible games on iOS probably don't have any support for ^these controllers,
but wouldn't it be cool if they did? It would be awesome to get controller
support for titles like Zombie Arena, BlindSide, and A Blind Legend. I'm not
sure how this all works, but I ink the developer has to support individual
controllers. Having never used any of these devices, I can't speak to the
quality or usability of any of them.
What do you all think? Would having controller support for any of these games
be something you'd like to see?
Thanks,
Ari
