Hi, will we be able to activate "Gyro-Aiming" on all Platforms but specially on PS4/PS5 ?
I like this feature from other FPS games and works mostly very well.
DualShock 4 and DualSense supports and offer this feature.
Of course it should be "optional" so people can activate it if they want this "feature".
Gyro-Aiming is the ability to aim via motion, so when you move your controller you can aim.
CM edit: edited title for clarity.
I don't think any official information has been given on the matter but it'd definitely be interesting (especially when sniping)
I know, that's why I want it to work on console aswell, so the game need it nativly to work.
I hope they'll add it. If not at launch, eventually.
I bet more people would use it and would want the next BF to have it if it had already been added to a previous game.
Other thing that would be great is, just like Steam, having the option to map the gyro to the left or right joystick system-wide. That way we would be able to use it in all games.
Is there an official word on it? Can someone from DICE or EA comment on this matter?
Even the biggest Battlefield content creator JackFrags tweeted it's mind boggling that this is not supported on consoles for controllers. It makes precision aiming so much easier and better. Precision aiming without aim assist is absolutely horrible, that's why there's aim assist there in the first place. Please, give this option finally, it's too embarassing to ignore it at this point in time. Almost every shooter on the Nintendo Switch has it, PC can use it in any game, there's a huge community around it. It is much more fun to be able to fully control your aim than to rely on a software assisted tool such as aim assist.
Just make it optional, trust me, you will have more sales this way and people will only thank you for it. DICE, you can be the first to bring this to mainstream shooters, and it will be a game changer.
Don't miss this opportunity please.
I'm buying Battlefield 2042 on PC, but the second you confirm gyro aiming on PlayStation, I'm immediately buying the copy there. It's that big of a deal, DICE. Please, don't ignore it. If you don't know how to best implement gyro controls, check Jibb Smart's blog, he has tutorials and guides for devs on how to implement best gyro controls in a game.
XIM Nexus supports motion aiming in all games.
It's just an option for those who really want to use motion aiming in any console game. XIM works on ps5 using Sony's offical remote play app.
It never hurts to ask game developers to add motion aim support into their games, and I wish you luck in them actually implementing that feature.
Yes, I'm aware of it as you can see from my previous comment. Cool controller for PS4. However it's not an option for PS5 because of Sony restriction on third party controllers which is the reason XIM can't be used there. And you suggest playing a multiplayer shooter on PS5 via streaming through Remote Play? You must be joking, right? Well, if you plan to play like that, more power to you of course. But no one is spending $100 on a controller to play a next-gen multiplayer game via streaming, that's just ridiculous.
We need to be vocal about native support for gyro aiming in this game, that's the only way to move the industry forward in terms of making this feature a standard like it already is with Nintendo and Steam.
That's cool and I wish you luck on your petition for motion aim support. I've been petitioning DICE for years to add mouse support.
They just recently announced my petition was denied. So I'm just going to buy a XIM so I can use a mouse.
Hopefully your petition doesn't come to that.
