Sure, but that right there is the issue. Accessibility options should be standard, and Sony could enforce that on their first party studios.

TLOU Part 2 1.0.5 Grounded update adds GYRO AIMING

Gyro aiming (assist) should be mandatory for every game. There is no reason not to include it any more. I know Sony is always leaving stuff to developers and that's great, but in this case, they should really do something and make everyone implement it.
They already enforce a lot of them, more than most publishers, my point is that stuff like gyro aiming does not have even close to the same priority as subtitles, for example.
Those kind of extra things are decided studio by studio, like Naughty Dog just going all overboard with absolutely every accesibility option in existence. No publisher would enforce that, same as I don't know, leaving up to the developer if their game has difficulty levels or not.
If more people playing on Playstation knew about and used gyro aim they would ask developers to implement it like people who play on Switch do.
I'm glad they added it as I will probably get a lot more arrows back than I did previously.

Sorry, I was in a bad mood. Here it is again in casual terms.
Gyro has been mistaken for waggle(slang for useless motion controls) for a long time in the mainstream gaming community despite many games that are fantastic using it in some form. (BotW, Splatoon, any game with a flick stick mod etc.)
Sony/Naughty Dog finally adding it to their mainline AAA game is a big deal since nay sayers have an very easy way of accessing proper implementation of gyro controls(i hope) and opens the door to other main Sony titles at least having it patched in. (Ghost of Tsushima could really use this.) Hence the "yelling" in the OP title.
Because Gyro controls, when done right, are the best thing to have come in gaming recently
Alright? We disagree here. I think it's silly of Sony to include so many interesting features in their controllers and fail to utilize them much. Gyro aiming specifically is something I've come to love this gen, and if it were more standardized it would be a selling point to their ecosystem for me. If they led by example, perhaps third parties would follow suit. We've seen that play out on the Switch, with an audience who has come to expect the feature leading to publishers across the board implementing it.
Repeating the current reality to me (a failure to include it as an option) doesn't make it any more right, or make me want it any less.
EDIT: anyhow I'm glad ND has implemented it here and hope it leads to more adoption of the feature moving forward.
You're not aiming with the gyro. You still aim with the sticks. It's just that this lets you fine tune like millimeters in any direction by slightly moving the controller.
The most recent game I finished in my back log ways Days Gone, and its motion controls were absolutely fantastic in it.
In fact, gyro aiming is the best control scheme added to video games since the light gun IMHO. I really hope that Sony pushes this as a consistent option on the PS5 with every FPS/TPS game they release.

Was hoping for flick stick. Gyro aiming by itself hurts my wrists too much, but it's cool that they added it for those youthful healthy wrists out there!
Holy shit???? Has anyone tried it yet? Is it BOTW-tier?
This would honestly make me consider getting the game haha.
Bodes well for Horizon 2 having it.

^^^ How does it hurt your wrists if you barely move your hands? Even with Flick Stick, the gyro isn't supposed to be used 100% to aim at your target. It's supposed to fine tune a more precise aim after you use the right stick for large movements to turn in the general direction of the enemy.
Given how amazing the post launch support for horizon is I am surprised GG didn't support it for horizon. At least ND is picking that up now, just need the rest of the 1st party to follow suits. I hope sucker punch will add that for their bow aiming. Ps5 with dual sense hopefully.
Because these teams crunched themselves half to death in order for the game to even ship and yet apparently that wasnt enough
The update is available tomorrow... if you were expecting otherwise
OP
OP
To my own opinion? Yes?
It's an incredible feature missing in almost all PS4 games that has been left out for no good reason since there's a perfectly working gyroscope on all PS4 controllers packed in with the console. And more importantly, it's a feature that improves accessibility for all people.
good. hope to see more games using it going forward. laughable that anyone would be against adding in this `.,~optional feature~,.` when it absolutely makes the game better and far more playable for many people. assuming the implementation isn't garbage (it matters so much)
I'm hyped for gyro aiming, but also a little bummed because I already went through the game and I don't really have a desire to go back through it for cleanup or higher difficulties.
Will it be like Golden Abyss where you could nudge up the Vita and it would move the crosshairs slightly?
Honestly, I might actually pick this up because of this. I was always interested, just wasn't sure I'd have time to play it before we move overseas. But I loooove gyro aiming.
This is very concerning. There's a right way to do things and a wrong way. Using the accelerometer along with the gyro may compromise the user's intent. Hopefully this can get sorted out.
At least they're now aware of the problems, & I'd imagine that complaints of smoothing will become more prevalent. Ideally, Kurt checking out Gyro Wiki will not only bring about fixes to these problems, but also the addition of flick stick.
I haven't played that in eons to compare, but aiming with the gyro enabled is simply twisting your wrists slightly over the six possible axis of the controller to fine tune the precision towards what you are shooting at.
The major aiming function happens through Flick Stick or traditional right stick controls, and are not handled by the gyro, so it shouldn't be physically taxing.

That's interesting. Does anyone know if Days Gone uses the gyro/accelerometer combo like TLOU2 here or is it gyro only?
I absolutely loved the gyro implementation in Uncharted Golden Abyss on the Vita so I'm already a fan. I haven't got round to Days Gone yet.
All of these improvements might just make me finally pick this up..
Sidebar: It's slightly annoying when single player games get substantial quality of life updates like this post launch. I haven't picked this up (yet) but I remember God of War getting some pretty neat quality of life improvements that I would've loved on my first playthrough.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy these improvements exists but it furthers my resolve to buy games months after they release.

Days Gone uses the same wording as The Last of Us Part II, so I'd imagine so.
