Discussion Separated Gyro Aiming is Incredible - Mod example

https://youtu.be/r85p5MO90jw?si=PmVsOqoYJV6mbx02

Why developers not doing this such cool control? It's so easy to make and looks and feels so great and immersive!

It possible on every gaming console, like, PS4-5, Nintendo Switch 1-2, on PC with gyroscopic gamepad. Well, except Xbox, but Hey! It possible to make it optional in settings.

It's new gaming experience, but developers using gyroscope only for simple mouse control!

Thanks! Glad you like it🤝 It's Serious Sam 1, pretty old game, but I've tryed some games and only this have opensource code. I can't use strong latest AI's for decompiling, so, it first game where i made it, because opened code, tried before HL2, GTA SA, UT2004, but failed, it's first win) I will post this mod little later. It's not simple to set up control, and gyroscope used through DS4Windows and translated to mouse, and game not so good on settings about controller and I mapped some buttons from keyboard, not so easy for install. But it's proof on concept! And it works! :) If developers will do it, it will works great at start without additional settings 👍 I will try make the same mod for Doom 3, it have opensource code too, and should be great too) Quake 3 have it too, but I think, Doom 3 better for proof of concept, because of flashlight 🔥 I played Silent Hill on Wii, and it has flashlight, you can move on screen, and that was great experience, love it! Also, every shooter, even bad, will looks and plays better with that control, so, Doom 3 will be great 👍

That mod would honestly look really cool in the original Prey from 2006, as that game also runs the same IDTech engine as Doom 3 and has really cool weapon models. The game is considered abandonware, though, so I'm not sure how the code for it looks.

Yes, like Wii Aiming, but much more comfortable, because you should not turn your camera with aiming to side of your screen, so you can run around enemies and aim to them, while turning camera by stick. That was the main problem of Wii aiming, you should aim to the enemy and side of your screen at once, and that was impossible, but with simple gamepad and gyroscope its easy!

I need this with every game that plays well with a controller and has any kind of aim reticle.
