Question: Is gyro controls on console popular?

I know on twitter and other places are angry that gyro is not in console version of Valorant, but I felt the only game i felt it was popular on was Splatoon. Hopefully next version of xbox control adds that feature, but I had no clue it was a popular feature on Playstation and Switch

Only people I see talk about Gyro are forum nerds like us

It’ll be a ‘game changer’ for the nerds and absolutely unremarkable for most other people. I’d prefer it across the board, but I can’t give a toss otherwise.

Ditto most controller functions. When what you’re playing is fundamentally the same as it was 20 years ago, eh.

To me the only feature I want from a new controller is back paddles, not having to take your thumb of right stick to press the face buttons is a game changer for things like shooters

All the other stuff I couldn’t care less, to me they are all just gimmicks that will inevitably increase the price of their controllers

Never seen people making such a big deal out of it before now, but ya know… Chance to score some forum points against Xbox. So now it’s the most important feature ever.

Yeah, back paddles are so good. I love that on the elite controller and hope they at least make an attachment slot for the new xbox controller.

My age makes me miss the joke ??

No age limitation. Just my thinking you were talking about visiting Tokyo in a game, and then realising you meant IRL.

Richard Ayoade in the Fable trailer last year makes me hope that Chris O’Dowd & Katherine Parkinson also end up with some sort of roles in the game as well even if they don’t interact at all, but it also makes me wish there was some sort of IT Crowd game / visual novel game / something. I know that this will never happen but would be cool

The thing about Arsenal is, they’re always trying to walk it in

  1. Hall Effect Sensors
  2. Back Paddles
  3. Better Lasting Bumpers
  4. User Servicable Battery

My desired features. I wouldn’t be against gyro or touchpad or better haptics or wifi direct connection if those didn’t increase the price.

Just fall through the city and surrounding cities, u hardly have to plan anything unless ur short for time and want to see specific parts.

I snapped this just for fun when passing by accident. One for the nerds.

did you see that ludicrous display last night?

(also - that would be super helpful for me if something like that app existed)

I’m hoping to see FF16 get announced for Xbox with a release date later this year.

Anything else…hey just surprise me.

My rule of thumb is “are there 3-4 games that I am looking forward to/want to play”? If yes, it’s a good show.

I will miss the showcase live… I will watch it a few hours later, but it will be hard to not look at all the trailers being uploaded on youtube when launching the app ! I want to watch it blind !

What I always do with TGA shows since the time they air is just not worth it for me, I open the video that will play live that same evening.

It should be in your history then. I absolutely get wanting to watch blind.
