Resident Evil 4 Switch Gyro Aiming

Resident Evil 4 has been released on just about every gaming platform imaginable at this point, so hearing that the game is out on Switch really isn’t surprising at all. However, Nintendo fans were holding out hope that the Switch version would include the gyro aiming from the Wii version, as it was a feature that made it unique and that feature is possible on Switch.

However, when the Switch port of Resident Evil 4 launched recently fans were met with the bad news that it’s a simple port similar to the PS4 and Xbox One versions. This isn’t to say it’s bad, as that’s how the game originally released back on GameCube, but many fans are voicing their frustration regarding the lack of the feature.

While bringing up actually wanting motion controls in a video game isn’t something you hear all the time, RE4 was a rare case of getting it right and the Switch’s motion controls are the best we’ve seen yet. Game’s that utilize gyro aiming makes the shooting experience that much more enjoyable and precise, which was the case with RE4 on Wii. Having this feature on Switch would easily make it the best place to play the game, but as it stands it’s just yet another port of a game that has been ported countless time.

What makes this even stranger is that the Switch ports of both RE Revelations 1 and 2 both include gyro aiming, even though they didn’t have that feature originally. It’s possible that Capcom was more willing to go out of their way to add the feature considering Revelation 1 and 2 are both more current games, but considering that RE4 is still a favorite for many it seems strange that they would brush it aside.

Of course, many gamers out there are calling for Capcom to add gyro aiming to the game via a post-launch update, and it’s entirely possible that they could. However, considering that the company has been very quiet on the subject and didn’t mention that a major feature like this would be coming post-launch is enough to keep me from getting my hopes up. We’ll keep you posted if this changes down the road.

We’ve been eyeing Broken Roads, an isometric CRPG set in post-apocalyptic Australia, and a developer-led gameplay overview gave us our best look yet.

With a moral compass for existential musings, Disco Elysium fans will love this. On a good day, outback Western Australia looks post-apocalyptic.

Since we last played, combat has changed. Free-form movement replaces grid-based combat maps. Four playable origin stories will keep players busy for 25 hours in the full release.

Broken Roads debuts on PS5 and PS4 in 2023. Is this oatmeal tempting?

2K’s PS5 and PS4 LEGO Racing Game Looks Like a Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Successor

We don’t have Mario Kart on PlayStation, but Sumo Digital’s Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed is the closest rival to Nintendo’s classic series. LEGO 2K Drive, a weekend leak, appears to have the same energy.

Despite being an open world, screenshots show multifaceted races in LEGO cars, boats, and planes. Images show swamps, freeways, and haunted houses. It looks nice, actually.

2K Sports is developing several LEGO-themed sports games, including a soccer game. The Danish brick manufacturer is revamping its portfolio to include more than just licensed products like LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Harry Potter. (Another of the latter is reportedly coming.)

We’re open to this LEGO-inspired racer because PS5 and PS4 arcade racers are scarce. With Disney Speedstorm and another ModNation racer from Sony, the future may be brighter.
