Why would they implement that, but not gyro aiming... like why?

See, this is what's confusing me:
There was no option for motion controls in the build last month. Is that only because they were using the pro controller? Even though the pro controller has motion sensors?

When playing with the Pro controller the option doesn't seem to come up.. If you switch to JoyCons, I can 100 percent confirm the option was there in the build last month. Makes sense if it's only to be used when playing with JoyCons detached.

That's an enormous let down then. Sorry for getting everyone's hopes up, feel free to lock this mods (even though I don't believe motion controls were common knowledge previously, but waggle for glory kills is basically a non-story).

I was going to suggest that perhaps the motions required split joy-cons, Odyssey/ARMS style, but your picture in the OP was of handheld mode, arguably more restricted than the Pro Controller motion wise due to the nature of holding the screen. Perhaps someone can comment on what the gestures in the previous build were? Would they be possible to perform in handheld mode?
EDIT:
But the Joy-Cons aren't detached in Skittzo's pic. Perhaps there's still hope? What was the gesture, specifically? If it's something unnatural to do in handheld mode I'll send em a tweet, maybe they'll clarify.

The title is technically correct as-is, though not anything new. Adding that it's not necessarily gyro-aiming might be a good idea.

I added another update to the top of the OP, title is still correct.
Also the video link was taken down but I put a screen grab of the relevant portion in the OP.

Gonna play it with split controllers + gyro like Splatoon.
Which button they will asign to center the motion sensor?
Ah I see you are a man of culture as well.

Fucking this. I was excited for a second. Gyro aiming is what will make me insta preorder

Really, they felt the need to implement waggle controls, but not actual aiming...

Wasn't interested in getting this until I saw there might be gyro aiming, but now I don't really want it again.

Was this confirmed to be 30fps in both docked and handheld or just handheld?
Still buying regardless

I assumed the worst given the fact gyro aiming was never expressly mentioned. Doom on switch sounded so cool but it's ultimatly a worthless port without a decent control setup. I'm still hungry for an FPS on the system.
They need to patch in gyro assisted aim afterwards at the very least. It would take about a few days to add that in. Most of that time would probably be spent working on updating the digital manual and the UI graphics and UI code then the actual code for gyro aiming itself.
Ah well, will see how well Bethesda supports this post launch.

Always 30.

Why would analogues sticks be adequate when gyro assisted aiming is faster and more precise?
Can people tweet to Bethesda and id to add gyro? I need it.....
I honestly didn't know it was 30fps. Haven't been following this game. Hence the "if".
This game may be the best fps I've played this gen. It's close with Titanfall 2. I think this is extremely worthy of owning on Switch, and should be a strong indicator that AAA third party games can absolutely thrive and find tremendous success on the console.
Wasn't a huge fan of motion aiming on BotW, but it seems like it's a beloved feature, and I'll be sure to give it another chance. I guess if it's this popular, it will become a standard in shooters, and something only Switch can offer...
In any case, I'm stoked DOOM is coming to switch, and Wolfenstein II. Hopefully full gyro aim gets patched in.

For a shooter, Id rather have the heavy kick of the DS4 rumble instead of the buzzing of HD rumble. No matter how accurate HD rumble may be.
Playing destiny 2 on the PS4 made me realize this. The kick from something like the MIDA Multitool is something I cant see the joycon or pro controller replicate

No gyro aiming? What's even the point of this port.

No aiming is dumb, analog sticks are bad for that. They need to patch this fast
Tbh waggle for melee is still more fun/satisfying than simply pressing a button. I still shake my controller every time I jump in Mario Kart. If your arms get tired go exercise more

Dualshock 4 also has a gyro in it but nobody is doing motion aiming on PS4 anyway.
You'd see riots in the streets if anyone on PS4 even attempted to make motion aiming any kind of standard.
And I'd be there rioting.
