[Lele99_DD]

Hi everyone! I'd like to buy a controller for Rayman Arena for Multiplayer gaming and i have found these:

Many people say that the controller of the Xbox 360 is the best, are you agree?
The controller also works with other games of Rayman?

I'd say it depends on the preference.
Personally, I'd choose the PS2-like controller - I own one and works perfectly on ALL Rayman games. Moreover, I can plug it in to an actual PS2.
I can't guarantee that any of those controllers you showed us may work on all games of this franchise, though. Sometimes it might be dependant on the brand and drivers which come with such a controller (if it isn't a device with the Plug-and-Play technology, that is - then it wouldn't need drivers).

Has someone played with a Xbox 360 controller?

[Haruka]

I can't ensure that any controller will work, because for example I own a Lifetech AngEvil Gamepad and it does not work for multiplayer Rayman M in PC, neither in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. In Rayman 2: The Great Escape I can't even change the control mapping.

I just used a special piece of software to make my PS3 controller compatible with my PC, it works wonders in R3.
R2:TGE also works nicely with it, though you'll need a mapper like Xpadder to set buttons, since the game doesn't give dedicated options.
I can't comment on Rayman M, having never played it.

Has someone played with a Xbox 360 controller?

I have yes, and, sadly, though it works as a charm in races and in battles overall, the right joystick isn't recognised and therefore controlling the camera is more of a pain than it should be. Other than that, the Xbox one works great.

Does the Xbox one work in Multiplayer mode? I have a joypad that only works in single, but in multiplayer mode the four keys 1, 2, 3 and 4 don't work ...

Intially, when Rayman 2 did recognise my PS3 controller, and I'd mapped it, the right analogue was detected, but it didn't move the camera, instead, it moved Rayman left and right whilst he remained stationary.
I'll see if I can record it.

[Lele99_DD]

I'd like to know only if the Xbox Controller works with Rayman M Multiplayer Mode, please try it!

[Shrooblord]

Yes, I meant the Multiplayer aspect of it. It works as a charm and everything I mentioned before. The only thing your friend will have to get used to is controlling the camera by doing a 'target lock' as opposed to controlling the camera freely. That, or you could somehow find out how to make the game recognise your right analog stick.

[Lele99_DD]

How will I do to recognize the right analog stick?

[Shrooblord]

Well, yes, that's what I've been saying: you can't as far as I know. The game doesn't recognise it automatically, so I have no clue how to force it to do so anyway. You'll just have to live with Align Camera and Target Lock, sorry.

[Lele99_DD]

What are Target Lock and Align Camera??

[Shrooblord]

There's two options right underneath you controller settings labbeled 'Strafe-Lock' and 'Realign Camera'. They're the third and fourth option down from the top when assigning joystick controls. Realign Camera allows you quickly centre the camera in such a way that you face your character's back and Strafe-Lock allows you to lock onto a target (another player) so you can shoot them while the camera and target reticle stay focussed on them.

[Lele99_DD]

How will I do "Strafe Lock or "Realign Camera"?

[Shrooblord]

First, you go to the menu where you configure your controls. You select the controlling method for player 1 or 2 (player 2 will automatically get the controller, even if player 1 uses a controller instead) and select joystick. Now, underneath the second item are two options: Realign Camera and Target-Lock. You click the triple dots and then press the button on your controller you wish to assign to that command. Next, you do the same for the other option. Save and Exit the control mapping by clicking the OK button. Now, in the game, start up a Battle Mode. The player with the by you just configured controller will now be able to use the assigned buttons to use Realign Camera and Target-Lock. To use Target-Lock, you should probably have one of your opponents in sight. To move the camera so it looks in the direction your character is looking, use the Realign Camera button.

OK, Thanks!
But are you sure that the controller will work in Multiplayer Mode? It is a problem of controller or computer what i have now (in multiplayer mode don't work the 4 keys 1, 2, 3 and 4)? I don't want to have the same problem with the Xbox Controller...
And can I play Rayman 2 and 3 using this controller?

[Shrooblord]

Very strange about your 1, 2, 3 and 4 keys being busted...
Just like I said before, it works fine for me and my mate in Multiplayer Mode. Just configure it in the options menu for all the controls the same way you configure Strafe-Lock and Realign Camera. You may want to try on your computer though; your computer's not mine, so I can't be a hundred percent sure it will work, but I'm assuming it will, because if it does on mine, why shouldn't it on yours?
I've heard stories about R2 and R3 being Xbox360 controller-compatible, yes, but you'll have to set something up and I don't know how to do this, myself. Try asking Haruka; I think she knows.

Have fun playing Rayman M!

[Lele99_DD]

I tried my controller with Rayman 3 and it works. I didn't tested Rayman 2 with the controller because I had some problems with the installation...
And so I think that the Xbox one will work!

[Haruka]

I never tested an Xbox 360 controller in a computer so this I couldn't answer.
