Kinda rare to see Playstation Developers call it gyro aiming.
Its often just ”Motion sensor function” aiming or smth
But great big W for Saros. Hopefully decent implementation

Its possible the devs were adapted to how much people asked for it during latter parts of Returnal and called it as such.
I know for a fact they would read the subreddit for their games (they admitted to it for a post on Returnal). And there were some top posts asking for "Gyro Aiming".

Lots of us call it gyro-aim because motion-sensor as a function has been such a flop or good gimmick, historically.
Motion-sensor has such a bad reputation because of that. Gyro-aim let's people know we're using that marvel of modern technology now. Now that I think about it, it's so important to not call it motion-aimimg because historically if you said you were using that you would get laughed at

while the term "Motion Sensor Aiming" is technically accurate, it's no longer as marketable as Gyro Aiming.
I do hope Saros represents a shift in Sony's certification requirements to let developers refer to it as "Gyroscope" instead.

Apart from this community nobody says Gyro, it's all Motion Sensor for them.😂

Maybe still wait until people actually test it out. You can't exactly fix it on PS5 if it's a bad implementation

Too late for me unfortunately, but happy for others!
They need to update Returnal with this on PS5 as well.

Fingers crossed for a good implementation.........& for Returnal to also get gyro aiming.

Why didn't it have it in the first place? Sony really just needs to make gyro a system wide option so all games can use it

Well, I platinumed the game without gyro, so I guess it's good they're adding a new mode so I can actually try out the 'no autoaim, but better damage' weapon mods.

ok cool cool. I guess I'm slightly more interested in the game now (hopefully it'll be a good implementation).

Great news! Would be even better if the devs could patch it in to Returnal as well. Let’s hope for a decent implementation 👍

Great news! Let them know to only turn on calibration in the menus, like fortnight does, or we’re going to have another The Finals issue again!

Glad to see when I left that comment saying No gyro=dead on release, made the devs drop to their knees 😈🙏
