You know, after looking at this kind of game. I'm really surprised we don't have an awesome 2D Devil May Cry. Complete with the style of the previous entries. Love me some Dante.  Get on it Capcom!
 
Also, looking forward to this game.

They are saying pc/psn/xbla.  Not sure what platform it would be best on, I assume controller would beat keyboard for such a game.

Seriously looks like a controller game.  But I could see it working from a WASD/mouse control scheme too, like a modern version of Abuse.

Well I suppose it's a good thing us PC gamers can plug in a 360 controller when we wish.

..provided we first install the fan-made XBCD drivers, since the default ones are crap.

Clearly you haven't tried playing Battlefield Bad Company 2.
If the developer doesn't give a crapdamn about supporting more than mouse & keyboard, they don't gotta.
"PLAY IT RIGHT YOU CONSOLE NOOB!  *gulps hockey powder*  HARDCORE!"
 
(For those that won't be able to experience it themselves, you cannot assign controls to each analog trigger, or use the right stick. Need to run a separate utility like Xpadder; it's WIndows 98 all over again.)

Isn't there one?  I found the "Wireless Xbox 360 Gamepad for Windows" at Future Shop.  I didn't buy it, though.

Ugh, why would anyone want to use a gamepad on an FPS anyway?   Horrible idea.
