Game Controller support for Unity Metro (aka Windows Store app)
Hello,
are game controllers currently supported for Unity Metro?
I tested 3 different controllers with my current Windows Store app and it seems like no one is working. All the controllers can be found and tested in the Windows 8 control panel. The Unity method Input.GetJoystickNames() return always an empty array and e.g. Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Joystick1Button0) etc. always returns false.
Google doesnt help :/
Any ideas or hints? I Unity doesnt support this, than I'll need to go for XInput directly...
Thanks a lot!
I made a couple of answers that are waiting for the approval by a moderator, but in short: It will be a Unity 5 feature.

Hi, I was having a look to the Unity 3D 5 new features, and "Windows store app joystick support" is one of them, so it's seem we'll have to wait.

Thank you very much! At least, good to know that it will come.
