Next Xbox Rumors Surface; No Devkits Available to Developers Yet (aiming for 2027); EDIT: And new handheld later this year
From Jez Corden. Further supporting the idea that the next Xbox is just a PC with a custom shell, which is about the only way a new Xbox makes sense anyway.
EDIT: Also from Jez Corden, Xbox handheld coming later this year.
Gyro support wouldn't hurt.
Did Mario Galaxy use gyroscopic controls? I thought it just used the IR sensor. If I'm correct, these are two different things. If you've played Splatoon with the gyro controls, you might see the benefit. Alternately, you can do this with Steam input on just about anything if you have a controller with the feature.
Gotcha. It still might not be the best sample set for getting a feel for what the controls have to offer, if you have the means to give it a try in other games. I think it's better at aiming/shooting than the right analog stick has ever been.
Not even a competitive edge, as I don't really play multiplayer shooters anymore. It just feels more intuitive (though some additional bothersome setup is often required to tune it right). You can also move it via your elbows rather than wrists. But in any case, gyro would be nice to have in Xbox controllers. I found playing something like Returnal on an analog stick to be a huge pain, and it's great when you can get that extra oomph out of your input device.
The Nintendo Wii used gyroscopic controls (first gen original controllers only had accelerometers. The Wii Motion Plus add-on added gyroscopes, but later controllers integrated both into a single unit). The IR bar was just for the Wii controller to figure out which detection was towards the TV.
IKR????
Xbox execs run from Gyro like it personally killed their mother
I just fucking want HE joysticks.
Gyroscope and back buttons would be nice. Maybe even a touch sensitive stick like the steam deck has. I like the shape and layout of the Xbox controllers, but they really lag behind feature wise.
And that's perfectly fine :)
If we got a Gyroscope on Xbox, then all major controllers would have it - allowing for the possibility of cross platform games where people can use gyro ironsights to aim. That would be awesome.
The elite controller has customizable back buttons, which are awesome.
Well I've had three of thier controllers die due to stick shift so there seems to be a fucking reason to me.
I've had this too.
That's an impressive ability to ignore an extremely widely known issue. Hey by the way just as a heads up there's also this thing going on called climate change.
