The only possible reason that I could imagine that it was better on console was if the online play is more stable and reliable. I still haven't been able to get into a game for longer than 10 seconds without the connection dropping. It could be my line though.

Visually and mechanically it is identical on PC to PS4, assuming you have the rig to run it well. The small issues have been ironed out of the PC version now. I play the game with an XBox controller and it's fantastic.

I'm currently replaying the story mode with my prototype fighting stick, and it's freaking awesome :D

It's a fun process. I want to make another one with a wireless xbox 360 controller I took apart, but unfortunately I don't have the wireless receiver for the PC, so I can't easily test what I'm doing.

Very cool. Is it easy enough to get documentation on the wireless controllers? I've never looked, but I am sure you would need some insight into what signals are used for what.

Is there anything official or is it just hack-a-day kind of stuff?

That's exactly what I mean, but I'll take that as a no :D

I suppose it would be silly of them to publish datasheets and hardware layer stuff. I just thought that it might be available for third-party hardware developers. If it is, it's probably under NDA though.

I've been somewhat enjoying this, though I sometimes mostly feel like I'm button mashing. The story and voice acting leaves a lot to be desired :p but they do a relatively good job of introducing the kids.
