I agree with this, and I'm disappointed that despite the fact that every console since the PS3 has been able to do this... No one's really attempted it outside of Nintendo on the Switch...
Yup, disappointed and confused. I mean... there's absolutely no reason not to implement it. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy other console shooters the way I did before. I hope this won't have a negative effect on my Uncharted experience later this month :o

There's something wrong when you're able to take a PS4 controller, and use it on a PC game to get motion controls, when the game is multiplatform on PS4 itself and doesn't have any option for it.
Gyro aiming is the future. Can't believe that PS4 doesn't support it in the games. I have read that they have the needed technology in the controllers.
@@chan13153 Yep I have tried Last us part 2 gyro. It is not as good as Zelda BOTW but still much better than analog sticks. Also PS4 Days Gone does have gyro. Gyro on those PS titles could have bigger range for the sensitivity. The gyro could have option for bigger range and sensitivity as in BOTW. But anyway great to see titles on Playstation that implement gyro. I deeply hope gyro will be included on most of the new PS5 titles from the start.
@JungleBubble Re-center is a must with gyro but I dont see it as a problem. Still way better than analog sticks. I recommend to try BOTW bow aiming gyro on switch pro it is almost perfect. Implementations on PS4 weren't that great all the PS games hadtoo low max sensitivity. I don't know why they did the scale so low on max settings on Days Gone and Last of Us 2.
@@TamarinPamarin right now i am using better gyro aiming on the last of us pc vs the implementation on ps5. ps5 onlyhad a natural sensitivty of 2 for the gyro. i cant play with anything less then 4.

But it does seem to do a nice job with mixed inputs. wich means i can use a mouse and gamepad analog controls at the same time. many pc games dont allow for mixed inputs. but for all the bad that iron galaxy has done with the pc port, they did achieve something that many pc developers never will. a great implementation of mixed inputs.
This is the #1 reason I would get a Steam Controller. 2 things as a Splatoon player: the quoted video is fairly out of date, almost every competitive player uses gyro aiming simply because you can aim much more quickly. While BotW executes it well for what it needs, in Splatoon you are constantly aiming at something. If the analog stick allowed for vertical turning, the motion controls would feel "uncalibrated" more often. Zelda only needs to kick in the gyro in small increments (this is also why the steam controller turns them off)
Hopefully motion controls will continue to improve. I can say for a fact they aren't being fully taken advantage at the moment. You can create a more responsive and precise motion control setup with the Switch Pro Controller on PC with Steam than what devs have made for games on Switch. So far every Switch game with motion controls has implemented non-changeable settings that reduce shakiness which to be fair is nice for those that have difficulty holding the controller steady, but it comes at a price of reduced responsiveness. And yes, this effects even Splatoon. Ideally games that support motion controls would include customized settings such as smoothing, acceleration, independent x/y sensitivities, minimum movement thresholds (which works like deadzone for gyro), sensitivity toggles (like when zooming in), etc. Beyond that there's also potential for different style options. Such as: 1 - Dual Analog + Motion 2 - Motion + Quick Turn 3 - Motion + Motion Toggle Button (In this sort of setup the toggle button turns off motion controls while held. It's comparable to picking up a mouse off the pad to reset it so you have more room to continue to move it. On its own anyway it requires more "motion" effort than the others.) And you can have combinations of the above.
I fully agree. These options should be the standard in "every" game that relies heavily on the right analogue stick and motion controls. Much like almost every game lets you chose between inverted and normal Y axis movement while aiming/moving the camera.
Did you even play Splatoon? Because if you're ONLY using the gyroscope, you're doing it wrong. To play well, you need to use both the analog and gyroscope. You use the analog for turning and 'rough aiming' to the left and right. Then you use the gyroscope for finetuning your aim. Mostly up and down, but also some adjustments to the left or right when necessary.
Thank you for your comment. I realize that I should have explained that a bit more accurately. What I meant was: You can play Splatoon with analogue sticks ONLY. In this mode you aim 100% with the right analogue stick: UP/DOWN & LEFT/RIGHT. You cannot use motion controls in this mode. Or you can play with motion controls. In this mode you cannot aim UP/DOWN with the right analogue stick - instead you are forced to use the motion controls to do so. When motion controls are turned on in Breath of the Wild, they don't exclude any of the stick controls. You can still aim UP/DOWN & LEFT/RIGHT with the stick and then finetune your aim with the motion controls. It might not seem like a big difference, but it is definitely noticeable during gameplay. In Splatoon you're excluding a whole control scheme or parts of a control scheme when choosing between modes and in Breath of the Wild both control schemes complement each other.
You don't really need to use up & down with the analog sticks in Splatoon though. I've played both Zelda BotW and Splatoon for well over 100 hours and the aiming is simply done a lot better in Splatoon. There's a good reason why almost no one complains about not being able to fully aim with the motion controls, and that's because the aiming works extremely well. Giving full aiming to both opens you up to all kinds of potential screw ups. Instead of giving access to 2 complex tasks that do the same, it's better to divide 1 complex task into 2 simple tasks. The human mind simply works better like that.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss arguably head the best aiming in the series due to gyroscopic controls, and it seems that Horizon: Forbidden West has also implemented it as well, to great results.
dualshock 4 has great gyro, but just a couple of games uses it. to use properly the feature in ps4 games, you have to buy them on steam and configure gyro yourself or use community setups. i really wish ps4 and xbox fans gived a shit about gyro and any kind of motion control, but they instead hate it, and only pc and switch games give us this option.
I'm a huge fan of gyro, but that's a bit of an exaggeration. While I feel gyro provides an advantage there are some people that are really good with controller that will beat some gyro players and some mouse/keyboard players.
@@ThomasDailey yeah of course if you let an absolute noob compete against a pro it is likely that the pro will win. But if you have 2 players of roughly the same skill level compete against each other, the one with gyro aim will always win
Ever since playing Breath of the Wild, I too consider motion controlled fine aiming with analog for larger movements to be the way to go forward with many genres. I never thought I would enjoy motion controlled aiming, but the technology, when properly presented, such as Breath of the Wild, I like it almost as much as mouse aiming, and that's saying a lot!
Disagree with the splatoon point.. Having gyro controls on all the time is perfect for an arena shooter that is based on covering maps with paint! Also.. I'm suriprised about people praising BOTW for doing it when other Zeldas did it first? Wind waker HD and Twilight princess HD to be exact.. Even the 3DS remakes
I think splatoon 2 has it best. You do you analogs in that game as well for looking left and right. Gyro aiming is for looking up and down (and like you said in botw) fine aiming
After playing Splatoon 2, I agree with this video. And I am so glad that games on the Switch (at least) are implementing this mechanic. It helps me greatly in both BoTW and OverWatch, let alone Splatoon 2...and this is coming from a dude who grew up on styx!
I was literally just thinking/talking about Gyro-Aiming, I like Gyro-Aiming because it makes controller and mouse/keyboard players more balanced, I always thought PC players have more of an advantage. PC aiming with a mouse is perfectly equal to Gyro-Aiming+Analog-Aiming with out aim assist in my opinion
Commenting so this video gets more visibility maybe. I am unsatisfied with shooters on console this gen and while Switch is nice to have some shooters with gyro. PS4 should have also gotten a Doom update with gyro. So crazy.
It's ridiculous that right now to me shooters feel better on Switch than PS4 Pro despite lower framerate and resolution simply because on PS4 the developers don't enable gyro aiming for some reason despite the controller being fully able to do so. I'm pissed in general that the PS4 controllers is packed with all kinds of cool features that make the controller really expensive yet barely any games use these features
@@teehundeart Yes! It's so disheartening. The tech is right there. On the bright side Bend Studios added it to Days Gone and Paladins also has the gyro on PS4 and Switch. (I'm really hoping since Bend Studios and Naughty Dog are close that The Last of Us 2 includes it as well) The sliver of hope I have is that when Overwatch launches on Switch they update the PS4 version as well just like the Paladins devs have. If something huge like Overwatch can expose more gyro to people then it'd be such a good move forward.
For what it's worth, I'm primarily a pc player and the Switch is my favourite console. It basically has made laptops mostly obsolete for me and I'm dropping the PS4 if Overwatch comes to the Switch and all my friends jump migrate over
Splatoon 2 is worth the price of a Switch alone. It has BY FAR the best implication of gyro aiming... probably ever. The reason people are only now starting to really talk about how good gyro is is because of Splatoon’s perfect use of it.
gyro aiming i always felt was a supplement more than something that was forced down your throat like the wii and while aiming with the wii is probably easier newer controllers mostly don't have ar motion like the wii does and so that's why the aiming is splatoon always feels off for me in either solution as nintendo doesn't have the grasp that gyro is more of a supplement than anything else BOTW being a major example of gyro done right
Makes me wonder why i even bothered with other consoles when this fixes the aiming issue i had with console (on pc i have no issue either) i sold every other console except my portables that have gyro like ps vita
its not just BoTW that the gyro aiming greatly, mobile games like pubg mobile has also implemented the gyro for aiming and I've seen people pull of some great gameplays from using gyro aiming better than using a mouse and keyboard.
Hmm, this is new to me, and it's very interesting. However, my problem is for people suffering from anything that affects fine motor skills, I mean, with any imparment to your motor skills you will be INSTANTLY put at a disadvantage.
Horizon Zero Dawn is the perfect example of wasted potential. Since it's PS4 exclusive and every PS4 Controller supports gyro aiming it is just infuriating that you have to use clumsy analog sticks to do precise aiming on body parts of machines instead of just tilting the controller a little to get the perfect shot
It would be so much fun to have gyro in horizon. I could crank up the difficulty so it would feel just like it does now but it would be so much more fun.
I'm a mobile gamer (I know some people will say if you play on mobile you are not a real gamrr) and I used gyro aiming for alot of time but on mobile I had problems like I can't see the screen because I'm moving the whole phone and I don't have a boutten to stop the gyro this will fix my problems in mobile and pc gaming I can't effort a high end gaming keyboard or mouse and I don't have a desk so spending my money on a good controller will the best solution for me but I want suggestions for the best controller if you can help please tell me
This is why I am hoping that the xbox series x controller has a gyroscope in it. The xbox one controller is called the most confortable controller by most people and pc users are a thing. PC users would need more convincing then "It's the same controller, but with a different dpad". If microsoft doesn't add a gyroscope in their new controller, that would make me very disappointed
For anyone that want yo play with gyro in PC any game (Dualshock, joycons and 8bitdo controllers) check the software of gyro gaming channel here in TH-cam, works perfect and is free, greetings from Mexico
Steam actually has native support for gyro aiming using DS4, SwitchPro controller. All you have to do is open the controller settings and set gyro to control the mouse and your done. Now most games the gyro will work. Although you do need to tweak the sensitivity to your liking.
@@hypelevelgames9030 there is one way to do in PS4 games th-cam.com/video/x827ea91fpA/w-d-xo.html Is there any other way to do with the help of adapter??
@@hypelevelgames9030 wow that's a big claim due to the competitive nature of the game as well as the extream face paced. I can just see someone singing there arms everywhere lol. But this does sound interesting. You have my attention 🙂
I think heathrowqueue's MGS gameplay video (@ 1:07 ) perfectly demonstrates how fast motion controls plus stick controls can be. You don't have to swing your arms, it's just small movements that add some precision to the very unprecise stick controls. So I'd argue that this kind of control scheme would make console shooters more competitive and move them closer to the PC mouse/keyboard setup.
Many fast past FPS/3rd person shooters on the switch has it and it works really well. Doom, Paladins, Fortnite, Warframe, Wolf 2, Splatoon 2. After using Gyro aiming I can't go back to only twin sticks. It's not only easier to aim but makes the game alot more fun.
You realize that arrows aren't hitscan weapons on that game right? While it might be pretty easy to just match the movement of the targets, it's quite difficult to hit some of those korok challenges because of erratic movement. It's easier with something like a Golden Bow.
I will personally like to see motion control as option but not forshing the player the don't want that. However problem that because not every controller hava tha is not easy for developers to add motion controls. For example im working on multiplayer fps game that play up 4 players on the same device however wail unity provide my opinion to add stck mouse ECT. I haven't found easy way to add motion as option. I know it able to add motion control for mobile phone and probably for VR controller. The don't have motion control option for switch controller's and PS4 controller as far I'm award. Yes it may be possible if download some form IP but unity don't found motion as default input like it does with mouse stick ect. I personally hope Xbox controller 🎮 to motion control because if add that It will be only matter off time before unity adds motion control with out need work around.
Good question! I guess it's because I took a long break and I don't upload that regurarly. But I'll try to produce more videos in 2019. Anyway, thanks for the sub and don't forget to tell your friends about it ;)
It's too sensitive to over sight with either the regular or the pro Switch controllers for me. Horizon Zero Dawn with the PS4 is much much more precise, and I might add, realistic - I use a bow, that's why I know.
Splatoon. Does have a sorta hybrid. Or are you playing it wrong. No not all games need gyro aiming. Like shovel knight. Okay yes if can be used in the game then yes gyro aiming needs to be an option, but for games where it's not necessary. Duh, no need for it.
I just got a PS4 a few weeks ago and I can’t BELIEVE ps4 games don’t have motion aiming. It’s absurd. It’s ridiculous. It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.
Nah I dont want to be waving my hands and console around like a madman just because I needed to shoot a bokoblin or a squid Its should be OPTIONAL in most games but not a main focus
Look at the footage in the video. I'm not waving my hands like a madman. In fact, I'm barely moving them. This is high-precision aiming that requires small and precise movements. As for it being optional: Of course. Options are always a good thing.
I mean, come on, you take a year to aim on target, and your aiming is wobbly. How can that be better than your typical kid slaying heads left and right with astonishing precision and speed on Call of Duty or whatever game is in vogue, with the analog stick that is?
That's mostly aim assist. Most games that use analog sticks have some form of aim assist and other tricks to make you think you have pRo gAmEr sKilLz xD. Games with gyro/mouse input don't use those same tricks.
It's called aimbot. You want to see how good analog sticks really are. Play CS:Go, Insurgency sandstorm using an analog stick against people with mousse and keyboard. Then come back and tell me how great your precious analog sticks are without aimbot.
Here's another thing every video game should have: th-cam.com/video/RVciAYu5jlA/w-d-xo.html

Since it's PS4 exclusive and every PS4 Controller supports gyro aiming it is just infuriating that you have to use clumsy analog sticks to do precise aiming on body parts of machines instead of just tilting the controller a little to get the perfect shot
Amen!
It would be so much fun to have gyro in horizon. I could crank up the difficulty so it would feel just like it does now but it would be so much more fun.
I'm a mobile gamer (I know some people will say if you play on mobile you are not a real gamrr) and I used gyro aiming for alot of time but on mobile I had problems like I can't see the screen because I'm moving the whole phone and I don't have a boutten to stop the gyro this will fix my problems in mobile and pc gaming I can't effort a high end gaming keyboard or mouse and I don't have a desk so spending my money on a good controller will the best solution for me but I want suggestions for the best controller if you can help please tell me
This is why I am hoping that the xbox series x controller has a gyroscope in it. The xbox one controller is called the most confortable controller by most people and pc users are a thing. PC users would need more convincing then "It's the same controller, but with a different dpad".
If microsoft doesn't add a gyroscope in their new controller, that would make me very disappointed
And they didn't add a gyroscope
Well yeah, that's how it's always used.
Unfortunately not always. I can't name any PS4 game that uses this feature
@@hypelevelgames9030 I meant the using both stick and motion to aim.
For anyone that want yo play with gyro in PC any game (Dualshock, joycons and 8bitdo controllers) check the software of gyro gaming channel here in TH-cam, works perfect and is free, greetings from Mexico
Steam actually has native support for gyro aiming using DS4, SwitchPro controller. All you have to do is open the controller settings and set gyro to control the mouse and your done. Now most games the gyro will work. Although you do need to tweak the sensitivity to your liking.
Amen
Found you through a reddit comment. Good video!
I'll do you one better. Every game with shooting mechanics should have the option for mouse and keyboard.
Sure. But for consoles, gyro aiming is the next best thing :)
hello were you using xbox one s contoller in this video?
No, I was playing on a Switch with the Switch Pro Controller.
Xbox controllers dont have motion controls
Can motion aiming work with help of cronus max plus on PS4 controller in PS4
The PS4 controller already has motion controls built-in. The problem is that not a lot of games take advantage of that.
@@hypelevelgames9030 is there any wAY to use these motion aiming in PS4 exclusive games with the help of cronusmax plus???
@@akhildada6053 I don't think so. The game has to support it.
@@hypelevelgames9030 there is one way to do in PS4 games
th-cam.com/video/x827ea91fpA/w-d-xo.html
Is there any other way to do with the help of adapter??
Would this translate well into a game like Call of Duty?
I think it could totally work.
@@hypelevelgames9030 wow that's a big claim due to the competitive nature of the game as well as the extream face paced. I can just see someone singing there arms everywhere lol. But this does sound interesting. You have my attention 🙂
A lot of typos in that comment but hopefully you get my point
I think heathrowqueue's MGS gameplay video (@ 1:07 ) perfectly demonstrates how fast motion controls plus stick controls can be. You don't have to swing your arms, it's just small movements that add some precision to the very unprecise stick controls. So I'd argue that this kind of control scheme would make console shooters more competitive and move them closer to the PC mouse/keyboard setup.
Many fast past FPS/3rd person shooters on the switch has it and it works really well. Doom, Paladins, Fortnite, Warframe, Wolf 2, Splatoon 2. After using Gyro aiming I can't go back to only twin sticks. It's not only easier to aim but makes the game alot more fun.
Precise controls huh? 1:32 - 27 arrows in quiver 3 targets, jump cuts to last target with 16 arrows left. 11 arrows for 3 targets, nice.
Precise controls doesn't mean I'm good at aiming.
You realize that arrows aren't hitscan weapons on that game right? While it might be pretty easy to just match the movement of the targets, it's quite difficult to hit some of those korok challenges because of erratic movement.
It's easier with something like a Golden Bow.
I hate motion control, I’ve actually deactivated
I will personally like to see motion control as option but not forshing the player the don't want that.
However problem that because not every controller hava tha is not easy for developers to add motion controls.
For example im working on multiplayer fps game that play up 4 players on the same device however wail unity provide my opinion to add stck mouse ECT.
I haven't found easy way to add motion as option.
I know it able to add motion control for mobile phone and probably for VR controller.
The don't have motion control option for switch controller's and PS4 controller as far I'm award.
Yes it may be possible if download some form IP but unity don't found motion as default input like it does with mouse stick ect.
I personally hope Xbox controller 🎮 to motion control because if add that
It will be only matter off time before unity adds motion control with out need work around.
Hmmm very interesting
QUESTION why don’t you have more subs?
Good question!
I guess it's because I took a long break and I don't upload that regurarly.
But I'll try to produce more videos in 2019.
Anyway, thanks for the sub and don't forget to tell your friends about it ;)
It's too sensitive to over sight with either the regular or the pro Switch controllers for me. Horizon Zero Dawn with the PS4 is much much more precise, and I might add, realistic - I use a bow, that's why I know.
Yeah because in real life when aiming with a bow you literally use your thumb to move an analog stick one inch to aim up and down.
@@chan13153 exactly
Splatoon. Does have a sorta hybrid. Or are you playing it wrong.
No not all games need gyro aiming. Like shovel knight.
Okay yes if can be used in the game then yes gyro aiming needs to be an option, but for games where it's not necessary. Duh, no need for it.
Hm. You didn't actually pay attention to the video now, did you? :P
@@hypelevelgames9030 you are right. I should have committed completely to the joke. Motion co trolls for shovel knight!
lol. hell yeah. motion controls for tetris. lets do it!
I just got a PS4 a few weeks ago and I can’t BELIEVE ps4 games don’t have motion aiming. It’s absurd. It’s ridiculous. It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.
And the thing is that the PS4 controller has a gyroscope in it and you can better use it on pc then the PS4 it self
Nah I dont want to be waving my hands and console around like a madman just because I needed to shoot a bokoblin or a squid
Its should be OPTIONAL in most games but not a main focus
Look at the footage in the video. I'm not waving my hands like a madman. In fact, I'm barely moving them. This is high-precision aiming that requires small and precise movements.
As for it being optional: Of course. Options are always a good thing.
You need to drop your 2006 Wii waggle controls mindset. Gyro aiming is absolutely nothing like what you described
Dan Shiba you're clearly a dumb ass.
I mean, come on, you take a year to aim on target, and your aiming is wobbly. How can that be better than your typical kid slaying heads left and right with astonishing precision and speed on Call of Duty or whatever game is in vogue, with the analog stick that is?
Because Call of Duty has to use a crap ton of aim assist to make up for the imprecise nature of a tiny analog stick. The game does half the work
That's mostly aim assist. Most games that use analog sticks have some form of aim assist and other tricks to make you think you have pRo gAmEr sKilLz xD. Games with gyro/mouse input don't use those same tricks.
It's called aimbot. You want to see how good analog sticks really are. Play CS:Go, Insurgency sandstorm using an analog stick against people with mousse and keyboard. Then come back and tell me how great your precious analog sticks are without aimbot.
