FAQ:
Q: Can gyro be used on consoles?
A: Yes, but it's only available on a limited list of games. If you want it for your favorite game, ask the developers about it.
Q: Can I use your configs on non-steam games?
A: Yes! Just change the name of the non-steam game to the steam ID of that game (that you can easily find on SteamDB), and you'll have access to all community configs. If the steam overlay doesn't work, try using a program called GLOSSI.
Q: Can gyro emulate the right analog stick?
A: It can, but it's not ideal. My configurations all emulate a mouse, unless stated otherwise.
Q: What is the name of the 3D Controller Overlay?
A: It's called 3D Controller Overlay (created by: @larfingshnew6965) It's free!
Here's the download link: www.3d-controller-overlay.org/
Q: When I press the “home” button in-game, nothing happens. (PC only)
A: make sure that the drivers of your controller are active by going to: Steam, Settings, Controller, enable Steam Input for the controller that you are using.
Also, activate “Use Big Picture Overlay when using a controller” by going to Steam, Settings, In-Game.

Thank you for making this video. I don't know why it's so hard to companies to make gyro feel good.

[@FlickStickVids]

Your welcome! Glad you like it! Companies probably don't make good gyro controls because they don't know how, I was very harsh on the video, but I understand that maybe, the people that need to add gyro to the game probably never played with good gyro before, so they literally just don't know any better.

[@caleasthetic]

@@FlickStickVids Most companies dont even know how to make good mouse controls on pc either. some sony ports like uncharted have the mouse tied to fps (atleast it feels like that). Horizon zero dawn simulates rightstick for the mouse instead of giving you raw mouse input. God of war also has weird mouse controls. To me it seems easier to just code in raw mouse inputs (on pc). I have spoken to a few people that know how to code and they al say it is super easy to code in raw mouse inputs. Just use the inputs that the mouse gives you and translate that 1:1 without any smoothing. Most pc games dont even give you the option of having mixed inputs(god of war). For the re4 demo i just used the lowest mouse setting and then set the gyro sensitivity on steam input itself. i always tr to get a setting that gives me a 360 turn ingame when i turn my controller 90 degrees. Most games like uncharted have the 1:1 option as the higest setting. The only good gyro games on console that i played are the ones jibbsmart has worked on. The only other good gyro game is boomerang x. I just hope developers in general will learn how to make good mouse controls on pc and good gyro on consoles.

[@TheFloodFourm]

Thank you for thanking him It's good to know I'm not alone in being so thankful lol

[@mongkeefee5576]

I support this 100%. Better gyro = better gaming experience.

[@Miodotwav]

Capcom, please hear us out. Fix gyro aiming

[@TheFloodFourm]

I've literally read comments of people using Resident Evils as an example of why "wii controls are inferior"

[@zZiL341yRj736]

So I tried turning off Steam input to use the built in motion control and holy shit it is busted, you cannot aim up or down with stick and there is no sensitivity slide, not to mention the dead zone on is god damn atrocious. Have to go back to using the Steam version.

[@Renulph]

Biggest problems with gyro in RE4: -No button to reset aim to CENTER, like Splatoon's Y button reset. -No separate sensitivity slider for gyro, they combine analog and gyro into the same control slider. Whyyyy?! -You can't use the Y axis on the analog stick while using gyro, only the X axis. Games like Metroid Prime Remastered and Splatoon DO. Because of this, it's a pain to use, if you want to correct your aim, you have to un-aim, move the analog stick to where your new controller orientation is, then aim again. It's a mess. The best implementation of gyro, IMO, is a hybrid style that still lets you use the right analog for general movements and gyro for fine tuning accuracy. This is what they need to understand and fix.

[@TheFloodFourm]

As far as I can tell they don't even combine the settings. Gyro has one sensitivity.

[@caleasthetic]

@@TheFloodFourm your right. Even a controller like the xim Nexus seperates the rightstick and the gyro settings. Even if they still use the same ingame aim curve. They just copy this setitng so you can use one for the gyro and one for the stick. Capcom should know the difference between analog gyro and mouse like gyro. Because that is what theire gyro implementation rally is. Just call it analog gyro.

[@caleasthetic]

You forgot the most import thing. Gyro should behave as a mouse not as the rightstick. The rightstick has a maximum and minimum turn speed. move the controller faster or slower then these two turn speeds, and the gyro will not pick up your movement. I sometimes use the xim nexus controller wich also translates stick aimng to gyro, but that controller gives you way more options to change and make it feel better. But still gyro should funciton like a aire mouese. Not as a giant right stick.

[@martaaay774]

Do these developers not play other Gyro-Aim games to get an idea of what to do for their own game?!?! All they had to do was play Horizon: Forbidden west or either of the Zelda Switch games...... RE4 Gyro is an absolute mess!

[@caleasthetic]

@@martaaay774Both options you mentioned are far from a great implementation. For a great example look at fortnite orboomerang x. antything below that is not really that great. Horiszon has a very strange sensitvity problem. it is either tied to framerate or is just analog / rightstick gyro. a good minimu, for gyro would be: 1 use tha natural sensitvity scale, wich means that is uses senssible numbers to represent the sensittivity. 1 should equal a full rotation of the controller = r rotation ingame. 2 sensivitivty options range from 1- 10 as a mininimum 3 gyro modifier button to pauze the gyro. 4 multiple options to activate gyro including: always on, only on ads and flick stick. This should be the absolute basic / minumum. Anything below that would be subpar in my opinion. The gyro wiki is readily avaiable. Jibbsmart is also within reach on twitter or other social media. So theire is just no excuse not to have a good implementation. The only good sony implementation is on god of war. and that was done by one staff member who made the decision to implment it. Nobody at Sony asked him to do so. So it is not like Sony knows what they are doing with gyro..

[@nisnast]

I played through the entirety of RE4R this week with gyro (courtesy of steam input, of course) and it was great, didnt miss analog or mouse at all, shame this isnt natively supported

[@zZiL341yRj736]

It is, it has motion controls in the options but it's god damn broke.

[@caleasthetic]

@@zZiL341yRj736that is because it is analog gyro / righstick simulated gyro. Gyro should behave like a mouse. the difference is that rightstick aiming is acceleration based and moue aiming is displacement based. So on console they could implement gyro in such a way that it acts like a mouse. They just need to use the data from the gyroscope and sometimes the accelerometer to read the orientation of the controller in space. Steam uses virtual mouse movement and uses that on the data the gyro provides to steam, Developers would only need to read the gyro wiki in order to make a great implementation. see my comment above for the bare minimum of what good gyro should be in my eyes. The only game from sony that is alright is god of war ragnarok. Bthat game treat gyro like a mouse and uses realworld value''s for the gyro sensitivity. The things it could do better are: 1 give players a range from 1 -10 for the sensitivity. 1 means 1 realworld rotation of the controller becomes 360 ingame. 2 give different option to activate the gyro. Including flick stick are gyro always on.

[@scottw4866]

I love how good gyro felt playing Splatoon for the first time on WiiU. took a bit to get it but once it clicks it's the only way I want to play shooters with a controller for me. I really hope there is a good set up someone has done for ps5 RE4R. I tried it for a bit and it doesn't feel natural compared to many other shooters I've played with gyro

[@PracticallyBlind]

I changed a couple things in the settings like the sensitivity and turned off toggle run which fix it a lot

[@ShArp_MK]

The Last of Us Part 2 (later also Part 1) have the best gyro I have ever experienced. Super responsive and snappy. On this game... It's God damn awful. Thanks for making the video

[@MabinogiKHVidegamer]

I thought the motion controls for TLOU sucked until I realized that you had to roll the controller instead of yaw it. Then they became bearable.

[@FlickStickVids]

Yeah, I always tell people to change the way they hold the controller exactly because in many game you have the option to change this or the just force you to use one or the other.

Great video..... I have only just bought RE4 on PS5 and was excited with the gyro-aim and my god it's soooooo bad! I'm astonished at how wrong they could have gotten it after they got it 90% right for REVIII. I guess it's been so long now and no fix that there won't be one coming...... Eeeeeeeergh

[@triphazard2906]

Good info, I was considering getting RE4Remake for Christmas but I won't bother now

[@TheFloodFourm]

God I NEEDED to hear this. Seriously, what is so hard? WHAT. IS. SO. HARD. Put gyro and mouse side to side and it's immediately apparent what the issues are. What happened? What was running through their heads? They've cared enough to include time and time again but have yet to make the connection that the control schemes should allow for equal speed and dexterity? Are they stupid or...? RE4 could be bearable if it at the bare minimum allowed for control over sensitivity but it doesn't even have access to the same settings every other control method available offers? How is it 2023 and I can still count the amount of single player games with decent gyro on one hand? Oh yea, the same cry babies who swore up and down Halo sucked and 007 controls were the best ever need to have there hands held and their diapers changed yet again as the industry is forced to adopt a superior control scheme at a snails pace.

[@HollowRick]

As a steam controller user who loves duel trackpads duel stage triggers and gyro aim I agree

[@trashaimgamer7822]

Se vc estiver jogando no PC, só emula o mouse na steam q fica bom. Se vc estiver jogando no PS, coloca a aceleração do analógico no mínimo e aumenta a sensibilidade, isso melhora mas ainda não fica tão bom quanto emular mouse.

[@teneesh3376]

Capcom was so close on getting it right. They finally got it where you can move the stick and use gyro at the same time. But the horrible assists make it bad. Functional, but bad

[@rodrigomendes3327]

No PC coloco pro analógico e guro simularam mouse e fica bom. Mas realmente poderia ser tudo nativo. Já passou da hora de darem atenção a isso.

Yes, that's what I meant in the video. You can emulate a mouse through Steam and have control over the sensitivity, smoothing, yaw and roll mode and many other things.

[@adamstrange3155]

I don’t think that Sony care therefore neither does Capcom. Making a push into gyro would require doing something like what Nintendo has done. But Sony doesn’t want to look like a copy cat. Interesting that this game was built to support mouse from the beginning on PC but support is disabled in the console version when Sony charge £60 for controllers. Sony don’t want to erode the controller market with cheap mice and keyboard

Days gone and last of us 2 are the only ones that got it right, SMH on all of these other companies

[@caleasthetic]

days gone and the last of us are not good gyro controls. the sensitivity is to low. If you want to exoerience good gyro controls try boomerand x or even deathloop. if you have ever experiencedmouse gyro controls then you know what it should feel like. The games you mentioned are not the worst out theire, but the sensitivity is to low. the lowest setting should be 1:1 so if i turn my controller 360 degrees the camera should do the same. I always use a sentisitivity that is x4 timeses360. What i mean is that if i turn my controller 90 degrees the camera should turn 360. Games like the last of us barely give you have that sensitivity at the highest setting. How hard is it to give us mouse like gyro and 1:1 senstivity at the lowest setting. some games even have the 1:1 setting as the highest available setting. How hard is it to read the gyro wiki and just implent it. Even on pc developers srew it up by not even giving us raw mouse input. Some games dont even let you use a mouse and keyboard when a gamepad is detected. Some games dont even have real mouse inputs, and use somekind of simulated rightstick for the mouse (on a pc version). games like horizon zero dawn use this crap. god of war on pc does not have raw mouse input and wont allow for mixed inputs. Come on devs it is 2023, just read and implment the gyro wiki. just treat the gyro as a mouse.

Copypasta time! "Why would anyone ask for gyro?" To have a better way of aiming. With mouse precision without actually using a mouse, maybe while playing on the couch or just on pc but with the ergonomics of a controller. "It's just a gimmick" We are not on 2006, this isn't the wii. It's literally a mouse on a controller that is miss used by developers because people don't ask for gyro aim enough. "Gyro don't work like a mouse at all" Yes smart-ass, you don't put your controller on a table and slide to the direction you want, you twist a little bit if your hands to aim with MOUSE PRECISION. and if that's not the case for you, just practice a little with it, or change between yaw and roll mode if you have the option, depending on the way you hold the controller it can make more sense to roll the controller instead of twisting it horizontally "if you want mouse precision, use a PC." I'm using a PC with gyro emulating a mouse using Steam. "If gyro is so much better than why you are using aim assist?" I'm not using aim assist, since gyro behaves like a mouse, AA fucks with your aim just like it would in a mouse. "Mouse precision on a controller? Sounds like you never used a mouse" Yeah, sounds like you never used gyro. "Gyro will never be viable" I literally play every game that need aiming with it and I don't stay behind anyone. "I hate when you are obligated to use it" You are never obligated to use it. (Unless in the breath of the wild puzzles). "You can't even make a 360 with gyro" That's not how you are supposed to use it. You are supposed to combine analog and gyro aim, do you seriously think every gyro player has a rotating desk? Or they love twisting their arms until they break? "Why would anyone with a kb and mouse use a controller to aim?" Idk, it's not like we are obligating you to use it, we just want more options. And if you assume we are obligating you, just... When did you assume that? Where did you hear anyone saying that? "Dual analog aim works well enough" Than why do you need aim assist? "I fuckin hate gyro so much, we don't need it at all" Ok, so I guess I will stop using it just because you hate it, that makes sense. "Gyro isn't as customizable as a keyboard and mouse" Sure, some games don't give you enough options, but if you try to play literally any pc game with it you have just as much to custumize than a keyboard and mouse "No one uses gyro aim" Hi, No One, nice to meet you 🤝 Well, tell that to the gameplay director of GoW Ragnarok, to the hard working team at Valve improving gyro on steam deck/pc, to every Splatoon player, to most of the Switch player base, to the developers and gyro players of Horizon Forbidden West, Fortnite, CS:GO, Cod:MW2/Warzone, TloU part 1 and 2, Deep Rock Galactic, Neon White, Calisto Protocol and many others, also mobile players.

@@FlickStickVids I agree people are too dismissive of Gyro controls, I presonally love them especially on some of the PS games you mentioned like TLOU and Neon White.. However I do think they work best on Switch's standard Joy-cons (sounds crazy I know but hear me out) because both your hands aren't tethered together. One Joy-con in each hand, with the right hand doing gyro aim, is my favorite way to play. I do find having to move both hands together to be harder which I think is where most people are getting stuck.
