Gyro is actually gaining popularity as an aiming method since it's been proven that it's significantly more accurate than analog sticks

Waggle stuff was unnecessary, but the aiming was fantastic.

The game isnt broken. Its just ugly

Motion controls never went away. They’ve been standardized into what they work best with: aiming.

What gave you the impression that I was defending the Wii U? Consoles after that have gyro. The gif I use is of a Playstation controller.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of what gyro is. It's a mouse, not a pointer. Like a mouse, It'll move your aim 1:1 with thd controller

it's not as good at raw aiming on still screens like the Wiimote, it's significantly better at a the camera and it slots into any standard controller

The Motion controls in Zero were just as good. But the dual screen stuff ruined it

They don't even need to be on VR. Modern cobsoles(except Xbox) have gyro aim which is as accurate as mouse

Yup. A bunch of arcade ports and a handful of original ones. My personal favorites were Sin & Punishment Star Successor and the Resident Evil Chronicles games.

Almost every game on switch with any sorr of aiming uses motion controls…

Motion controls are actually still being used. And gaining popularity as an aiming method. Since they’re significantly more accurate than sticks for aiming

The motion controls in Zero were actually great. Way more accurate than sticks. The game is still bad tho, for different reasons

The problem with this article is that is put the entirety of "motion controls" as 1 vague catch all.

Shake to spin and the tilting stages were not optimal, but the aiming was objectively better than it would've been with analog sticks.

2/2 I get not personally liking them, and being disappointed there are no options(the tilt stuff is not optimal) but claiming they're all bad is disingenuous bad for the people that do like gyro aim and want it to become an industry standard.

1/2 This is a reminder of how motion control hate is irrational. For aiming at least(star bits, Yoshi's tongue, Pull stars etc) motion controls are objevtvelly more accurate

One line called my attention "Moving sticks is good". An input so famously bad, it requires games to aim for you(aim assist)

Its turns AA off cause its good enough that it doesnt need it B)

Fun fact: a dev for Valorant said they couldn’t add gyro to the PS5 version. Since it has console cross play and no AA, it would put Xbox players at a disadvantage.

If you don’t like aim assist, i suggest trying out gyro aim. Legit mouse level accurate

This is because of crossplay. Mouse is just inherently better than analog sticks.

Games should implement gyro aim, which is mouse level accurate without the need for aim assist.

Are you using gyro aim?

Why not use the gyro?

It's not hard to understand. A pointer is good for aiming. Which is why the Wii had so many rail shooters

Sticks are so bad at aiming they require games to aim for you(aim assist)

And like, would you REALLY prefer to play a rail shooter like The House of the Dead with an analog stick than with a light gun?

Ever played a rail shooter on the wii? Resident evil 4? Basically any game that requires aiming?

Even when they improve the game?

Pro tip: if you pit the pointer sensitivity in “advanced” it controls much better.

Over 80% of Splatoon players use motion controls. Its the competitive standard and youre considered a liability if you don’t use them.

They’re very popular on the switch

The only motion controls in 3D all stars is the pointer. I suggest giving it a shot, because its much more accurate than analog sticks

I know waggle is bad but the IR pointer was always good for aiming. The Wii was a godsend for rail shooters.

Not as good at smooth camera movement compared gyro, but way better raw aim.

The irony of a Splatoon players saying motion controls are bad LMAO

Ya know, i mapped those to sticks and buttons(it has to many axis to map to a single analog stick) using an emulator. Its JUST as bad. Another thing about motion controls is that they’re usually also tied to bad mechanics and ppl blame the controls rather than the mechanic itself
