I am looking forward to playing Horizon Zero Dawn PC with gyro aiming

You think we havent played other consoles/pc games or watched folks play with gyro? In a thread asking for options its crazy that people dont understand people prefer other options.
If anything, the PS4/PS5 needs its Splatoon moment where people open their eyes to the potential of gyro. It's actually thanks to Splatoon 1 & 2 that gyro is one of the top requested features by the majority for any shooter that gets ported to Switch. Now pretty much the entire competitive Splatoon scene uses gyro. Hell, at least from the replays I've seen, most of the Overwatch Switch Top 500 uses gyro.
Lol that's perfect. I wouldn't mind gyro as an option (I used it quite a lot in Breath of the Wild) but the hyperbole is crazy.Every gyro controls thread
I manage with analog stick aiming, but personally I dislike it. It's far more cumbersome and far less accurate than what I'm used to (primarily a PC gamer for many years).
That's basically where I'm at, especially in PS4 versions of games like Overwatch.
I think most people that played the game liked it and found no issue. Era just latches onto things and swings in extremes. I mean, people are here saying no gyro was a "catastrophic" decision lol.
Sure, but having the option to play with controller is sometimes useful. Occasional couch gaming for example.
It's basically mouse > gyro > sticks only. The gap between M/KB & gyro is made even closer with flick stick, though.

Playing Horizon for the first time on PS4 for the past weeks(gor the Last of Us/Horizon/God of War bundle), and as someone who is used to play with keyboard and mouse, I don't really like aiming with a controller. Trying to hit some small weakpoint on a moving target isn't always easy, even with slow motion. These Glinthawks are especially a pain, I often wait until they stop moving to try hitting them with an arrow. It's not TERRIBLE, but I would probably have wait & played this game on PC first if I had known.
Awesome, hope you enjoy it and it's a good PC port. I got the Platinum on PS4 I enjoyed it that much.
It's great. I think every controller with gyro is compatible with Steam Input other than joycon, so you can apply it to any game with mouse support for aim etc.
Just need to remember that for games with simultaneous mouse gamepad support, you can set it as you wish. For the games that don't, you can either map full m&kb to the gamepad or should crank the in game aim sensitivity to max, and use the mouselike joystick mode for gyro. You can then customise to taste for both gyro and stick (or pads on steam controller)
Steam Input Thread | Comfy Couch Would Be Perfect On PC
SteamWorks Documentation on Steam Input is available here This thread aims to be a resource for understanding Steam Input - the umbrella term referring to the entire collection of software, hardware, and configuration utilities that Steam uses to interface with games. Valve's Steam Controller...

I mean, yeah, that's literally the point. To bring more attention to a really cool feature that people turn their noses up at because they are so set in their ways that they can't be bothered to think about other methods of control.
It's the difference between the aiming being fine, and the aiming being stellar.
You don't NEED it, it's not REQUIRED, but damn it makes a positive difference.
It is, but if you're in the lounge and prefer to play a game without m&kb, or just don't feel as comfortable with a game and need a controller, gyro is super helpful but very limited compared to mouse. The closest combo in a controller form factor to get mouselike velocity based aim nearing mouse capability is Steam Controller trackball + gyro, which is where the Steam Input implementation came from. With other gamepads using sticks, gyro is the only way to have velocity based aim. Not as flexible or with enough fidelity/range as a mouse, but a huge advantage using traditional gamepads
And sometimes your arms can get tired from using mouse & keyboard for a good long while. Using a controller with gyro is actually more ergonomic (the bones in your forearms don't cross while using a controller).
This is genuinely nonsense. I've done LAN gaming marathons across for ridiculous hours without fatigue, yet can more easily get fatigued from sticks. And that isn't just me. RSI is possible no matter what you do.
That meme has always been really ironic considering the underlying point of that scene was that Don was really insecure and actually did feel threatened by that guy to the point of stealing his ideasEvery gyro controls thread
This video is amazing. I feel like everyone should watch a bit of it before replying to these threads. The YT shitposters sound a lot like some posters here.

Was gyro aiming confirmed for the PC release? I wonder if they would patch it in/any other optimizations into the PS4 release.
Gyro is a feature within the system keyboard, so why it isn't implemented more is weird. Especially among Sony's own games.
steam controller config has the ability to enable gyro on any controller that supports it through customized mapping. The game doesn't need to support it natively for it to work.
Never liked gyro aiming, mostly because I primarily play on PC and when I played games on my switch I usually turn it off, to me it feels like a bad in between, but that's just my opinion. More control options are always welcome, just don't go around saying shit like "it's catastrophic that x game didn't have it", or that one poster who said he stopped playing because 60fps+gyro wasn't present (do you even research what control options a game has before buying?), that's just silly.
Everyone bemoaned Sixaxis functionality in every Sony game until Nintendo started doing it in their first party offerings.
FWIW I think gyro aiming has always been superfluous cumbersome bullshit.
"I'm looking forward to playing Horizon with gyro"
"ah, another cry for attention"
seriously ya'll...
Any game can be played with gyro on PC with a steam controller, this thread is just thinly veiled gyro propaganda and we all know it.
