I just tried out the Switch version. For the hardware it runs pretty well, thanks for the effort 🙂. As a frequent player of Switch games though the motion controls need some work. I can barely move the camera horizontally even at the default max horizontal sensitivity. There are also times where it seems like a right motion causes the camera to move left and vice-versa
Hi,
The new port of the game for the nintendo switch is very impressive but I've had an issue with the motion control which make the game about unplayable at the moment.
It seems the developers implemented gyro control differently from the Y to the X axe and this makes things very clunky in game. The Y motion controls uses ''pitch'' as its axis of rotation while the X axis uses ''roll'' instead of ''yaw''. This means the controller doesn't read movements of a pivot around the player from side to side only on the x axis. The only way to look left/right is to rotate the whole console on itself clockwise/counter-clockwise like a steering wheel. Having the whole display tilting from one side to another in this manner takes me completely out of the experience as I have to remember a very unnatural way to aim but only for one of the axis of movement.
I hope this issue is resolved soon as every new player on switch will have the motion controls on by default and this will most likely give a bad impression of these controls.
Will this issue be fixed with an upcoming update?
