Lots of people seem to have missed the OP update. No gyro aiming a la Splatoon.
What the fuck is wrong with you the BOTW motion is so awful on both consoles

This is a great post
Works incredibly well for Salmon Run in Splatoon which has some extremely quick enemies.
No the "update" in the op was an old question asked before this video surfaced.
Hence why people are surprised to see motion controls as an option now.

I think that was from an earlier Rolling Stone article. The Motion Controls option wasn't present in the previous demo build at all, which is why people are speculating that gyro aiming had been added.

Errr.. maybe I wasn't clear. This was the statement they made while the media was playing the original demo, and when there was no "motion controls" option in the settings menu.
That being different now suggests they've changed it to include gyro controls.
Gyro + analog is much faster and more responsive than analog alone, so I don't really get this complaint. Since it's very fast and fluid gameplay gyro assist will only make it easier to aim.

I hope the few framerate dips are also fixed in this recent version of the game.

Have you played any games that use gyro aiming? Because this doesn't make sense unless you simply haven't

Thank you, Bethesda!
Everything in Salmon run moves really slowly and that's a gamemode about resource management but mostly idiotic personnel management. And a tutorial mode to teach you to try other weapons.
Gyro aiming does work fantastically in multiplayer deathmatch modes in the rest of Splatoon's online though, which might more closely resemble the kind of experience you'll have in DOOM

I'd love to try Doom with motion controls for funsies.
This game gets better and better the more I hear of it.

That motion controls option was in the first preview build journalists saw last month. 99 percent sure the only thing it does is let you shake the right JoyCon to do melee attacks and Glory Kills. I played the game with the motion controls setting on and that's all it did.

I prefer to play in handheld so always being able to keep the screen pointed at my face is better. In splatoon you have to tilt the device up or down away from your face just to look up or down. I'd much rather just use the analog to aim up or down and the gyro for fine tuning from there.

You're kidding? There are some crazy fast enemies in Salmon Run. 200% is insane with these fellas:

Err, and dual analog does? I played through DOOM on PC with Gyro Controls and it was absolutely perfect.
To be fair, the extra precision given by gyro aiming might screw up things a bit for people used to significant amounts of aim assist.

Don't have a Switch yet, but gyro aiming would put this on my radar for when I do.
However at this point I'm assuming this just means some kind of shitty gesture based melee or glory kills, until proven otherwise. Hope I'm wrong.
Pretty sure that's what it is.

...huh? What did BotW do so differently for you that you didn't like it?
>deathmatch modes
Ah, YOU are my teammate who never seems to play the actual damn objective!

Disappointing if so.
well nevermind lol
I am playing Zelda: BOTW right now and have played a lot of other games with motion controls before like Killzone: Mercenaries.
At the latter, I really enjoyed the motion controls in the single player where I had more time to take my shots. When I used it in multiplayer, where I had to take shots fast and consistently, I performed way worse with the gyro aim.
From my experience, yes. Not as good as KB/M of course though.

Dang, that's a bummer. Still hope gyro is something they will add in at some point.

Makes sense they're not making a big deal about it then.

Dammit.
Way to go from "Not interested, played it on ps4 already" to "Yes! Day 1! I love gyro controls!" and to "I'm so disappointed"

Oh damn, I'll add that to the OP. Do you have any footage of that option in the settings menu? I recall seeing the options menu from back then but no option for motion controls.
That would be weird if you saw it in that demo but other footage didn't have it.
