Current Events > How come console shooters don't utilize motion controls more often?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I feel like this shit should be the standard for next gen consoles controllers. It makes the experience leagues better tbh. The splatoon franchise utilizes it to near perfection, I have no idea why other shooter games don't follow the same idea.

Current XB1 games have an excuse since the XB1 controllers doesn't support motion controls, but PS4 games have no excuse for not using the motion controls that's provided by the controller. I just don't understand why

Because if people cared about controls in an FPS, they would be using a mouse

A lot of people absolutely despise motion controls, especially in shooters where precision is key. Why waste valuable development time making motion controls work properly if only 5-10% of players will ever use them?

That said, PSVR has a couple of motion-controlled shooters that are really, really fun with the AIM controller.

This, plus if you are making a game multiple platforms at the same time, why waste time on controllers that only work on one platform?

If an FPS has motion controls, it is by default a shitty game.

stylus is absolutely 10/10 with a shooter but light gun controls aren't as great.

I miss light gun/rail shooters :(

FPS is one of the only genres where motions controls make the game better 100% of time.

They should still allow players to use a standard control scene for the people who cant use motions controls but motion aiming is extremely quick and precise when compared to stick aiming.

Because motion controls are a gimmick that rarely works for anything
