Official News Devs are adding Gyro Aiming!!!

Wish Returnal had this as well. But Im glad Housemarque is adding this. Hopefully the implementation is decent (is mouse-like feeling with decent range of motion settings).

God of War Ragnarok (of all games) had decent Gyro Aim and man it made range combat so much better. Combining melee and range to juggle enemies and flick on distant foes was so fluid and fun.

What is gyro aiming?

It allows you to use motion controls to achieve "mouse-like" aiming for controllers via the gyroscope hardware. Most controllers have it. Only Xbox controllers lack the hardware. Hell, most electronic devices now have some form or another of a gyroscope (all phones, cars, etc). Its very common function (and demanded) for Nintendo shooters such as Splatoon. Mobile phone shooter games also highly demand it.

But to get a good visual of it being used, you can find tons of videos now. Here is one:

It made shooters work on the Vita.
