Does anyone have an information on new character controllers coming out with Unity 5?
No.
Is it confirmed their will be a new one?
how do you even make a character in unity 5?
There’s premade controller scripts that are really cool. I can click and drag an fps controller into my scene and get a camera, mouse look, jumping and all the normal walking on slopes and all that, plus it has code for footsteps and head bob. All that without lifting a finger. Well… I lifted a finger to click and drag into my scene but that’s it.
I would honestly use the new controller in a production environment. It’s all in C# now too instead of javascript. I’m impressed with them.
Wow! Now that’s how you first post…

Anyway, good question!
I think unity is in DESPERATE need of a good 2d platformer character controller. All othe ones available now are very “okay”.
Here’s a link to an article on how to make a good one that I was thinking about making as a free asset:

Or were you meaning for an FPS? In which case UFPS is the current go-to and it’s fairly cheap.
