We played Pigface extensively at launch and found its gameplay loop to be satisfying and visceral. With large open maps, chaotic first-person gameplay, and an array of vicious weapons to wield, it was a near-perfect indie experience. But what could make the gameplay better? Why, controller support, of course! The most recent update to Pigface adds controller support and squashes numerous bugs, too!
The update in question isn’t overly large. You’ll have it downloaded and installed in no time flat, but what it does is certainly grand. Alongside controller support, Tito also tweaked the M9 pistols, increasing their fire rate, starting ammo, and damage while duel-wielding. Oh, there’s also a handful of performance improvements tucked inside, too!

- M9 fire rate increased from 400 → 600
