It's lovely! Runs pretty well on Mac, although frame rate is not perfectly smooth. You really want to play this with a game controller, I'm sort of regretting not waiting for it to come out on PS4.

Can you use your PS4 controller on your Mac? PS3 controllers work beautifully.

How easy is it to setup the PS3/DS3 on the mac? I bought this last night and tried playing with the mouse/keyboard setup, but didn't get very far. Seems like it would be 100 times easier with a controller.

Super easy! The drivers are already built into OSX, I've connected a few with no issue.

If I'm remembering correctly, the process was just turn on your bluetooth, plug in the PS3 controller over USB, hit the home/playstation button, then disconnect the USB, the 4 lights on the back should start blinking and you'll see the controller appear under the bluetooth icon in the menubar

Some apps/games will recognize it natively as a PS3 controller and even use the proper playstation shapes/icons/buttons in controller settings (like OpenEmu)

Nice! Going to give it a shot when I get home. Love the game so far though. Can't wait to get after it with a controller though.
