Where can I preorder? 👀

Got it today and it feels nice and smooth! Wish I could use it on PC, but very happy with it on the Switch 2

(Also the motion insights inside the right Joy-Con 2 can't be correct about how its orientation is maintained. Accelerometer can only provide a frame of reference for pitch and roll, not yaw)

Yep. Plenty of fun to be had until then, thankfully :)

I got the Switch 2 but the Pro Controllers are sold out 😭

*without

- Some settings moved around or no longer requiring Advanced Gyro Options to be enabled to see them.

Enjoy!

On all gyro-capable platforms:
- Increased range of Acceleration Multiplier (50) and Min & Max Thresholds (1000);
- Acceleration Multiplier can be set <1 to affect slow aiming instead of fast;
- Thresholds can be set in steps of 0.1 instead of 0.5;
- World Space gyro option...

It depends on the game. Usually the best way is to map to mouse but keep everything else as controller, but a lot of games don't mix mouse and controller input well.

In that case, you can map gyro to right stick (which might be clunky depending on the game) or everything to keyboard+mouse

I haven't heard anything, but that was definitely my first thought when I saw some gameplay! Looks like such a sick game. Please let me know if you get anywhere with Steam gyro :)

2. Model human-like reaction time in player lock-on and bot/enemy aim;

3. Have a simple model for weapon weight, so a small pistol gets on-target more quickly than a heavy shotgun. Make getting close not just about making your target bigger, but making their heavy AR easier to avoid.

Could be fun!

All that to say, I'd be interested to play a shooter that gives full lock-on to ALL input types equally with these things in mind...
1. Less messing with the camera, more offsetting my aim within the camera space to be more transparent about what input is mine and what's the game's;

Even if we can't put our finger on it, this is a big part of what makes something look aim-botty.

This is a big part of what feels off when you dash at what would've been the perfect time and the enemy hits you anyway just because they had line of sight.

And again, it's not just about the shooting feeling good. It's about dodging, too!

Even against computer controlled enemies. Even hitscan enemies can be fun to dodge around if they do a simple model of a reaction time instead of just locking on and adding some randomness.

This isn't just about aim assist. I liked Metroid Prime, but targets dodging side to side hopelessly against the hard lock-on was almost as deflating as trying to aim ahead of a target with a slower projectile only for the lock-on to go straight at the target and miss them as they moved.

You can't dodge a hitscan shot in flight, but you can anticipate the shot, and shake off their aim just as they pull the trigger.

See the instant bullet trail just miss you. Time your shot better than theirs. Feels so good!

"Stickiness" comes from a lack of reaction time -- responding to a change in the target's movement instantly instead of after a delay.

IMHO, the human reaction time is almost the whole reason clicking on other players is hard and trying not to get clicked on is interesting and fun!

There's so much enthusiasm for Ballistic from both devs and players, and it's exciting to be a part of.

So please play it, enjoy it, talk about it, and expect it to get better and better!

🎯🔫👀

My main contributions fit in one tweet. Others have been on Ballistic and/or First Person device for way longer with immeasurable impact.

I was watching dev keenly, and when I was asked to be involved I pounced on it!
