So Splatoon 2 just dropped and for anybody that never played the wii u version its default controls setup is using the motion gryo controls instead of the console standard right thumbstick. If anybody played breath of the wild is also uses the gryo controls is you use any aiming.
I have actually played neither, but I had my ps4 controller hooked up to my pc because I wanted to see if I was given dual shock button prompts in that game. What I noticed was the gyro controls were taking place of the mouse movement. I started using it and it actually felt pretty good. I don't think it's quite as good as a mouse, but it's vastly suprior to the right stick for aiming and I think if you played it long enough you might just be able to play just as good as a mouse player.
So the dual shock 4 has built in gryo controls, but no game uses it; why is that? Nintendo is obviously using it to great advantage. Snooping around Splatoon message-boards it seems all the top guys use it, and there really isn't a prayer of being a top guy without using gyro.
Thumbstick aiming is so bad of an input method that it requires built in aim assists to aid with it's shortcomings.
I don't think any xbox controller uses gyro, but if I were sony I would at least give the option to everybody. The steam controller for what it's worth has a gyro sensor too, and apparently it's great.
