Do you think down the road, when LSPDFR has all the features that LCPDFR 1.1 had that the Xbox controls will seem 1:1? As of now I use my 360 controller for driving walking etc, but all the mods releasing rely heavily on the keyboard. Do you think we will get the D-Pad functionality back for ID Checks, issue tickets, frisk etc. Right now it seems rather cumbersome to constantly switch between keyboard and controller, and while I still did it in GTAIV, it was way less. 

I would like to continue using the 360 controller so hopefully I am not the odd man out here. 

What do you guys think?

I mean, most likely they'll include controller support. For myself, I use keyboards, I find them easier to aim, etc.
