Trying to play timesplitters using pcsx2 and it seems to be pretty good but I started noticing about these older console FPS, why is the aiming like this?If you press aim, it basically pops a crosshair up and then you move it around the current screen but you don't move yourself and it feels weird. But weirder still is why no matter where you move it, it always fights you to get back to the middle as if it was a feature. I've seen it happen in Goldeneye and Perfect Dark too. How exactly does this aiming work and how do you use it?
>>722339845Dual stick aiming hadn't been invented yet
>>722339845this is a carryover from goldeneye because the n64 controller only had 1 analog so it was easier to aim with this feature, timesplitters and perfect dark run on the same engine from the same devs
I always assumed it was an early way to help finesse aiming on consoles like the N64, since aiming sucks balls using that controller. Any time I aimed without the resistance back in the day, it felt overly sensitive to the movements of the stick.As for why it stops you, I think PS1 and N64 games lacked the twin stick design. Dual shock was a later add-on controller so you just had the d-pad, meaning you couldn't move while shooting.
>>722340081>timesplitters and perfect dark run on the same engine from the same devsWell that explains it. What a perfect coincidence that I'm playing exactly these games and noticed this "trend" but I guess it isn't a trend and just the devs styleThanks. I'll try to push through but it's so hard. I hear all the praise for timesplitters 2 but this aiming... I'm just too used to regular aiming now.
>>722339845>streched
>>722339845That's why you play Future Perfect instead which was designed for PS2 dual stick aiming
Is there an official term for this kind of aim?
>>722340516People shit on this game because it plays like HaloDuty but that's a good thing actually.
doesnt PCSX2 have mouse support ?
>>722341049It does. Works better for some games, less for others.
>>722340516Why is she wearing a dress that says slot?
some of the female character models make me diamonds
>>722340516It was a different time
>>722341169You put your throbbing coin in her wet slot
>>722341101>>722341049Anyone actually tried mouse support want to share how it works and any settings or tweaks for it to work better?
>>722339983TS has literally dozens of control schemes because the dev wasnt retarded bro. Just change it. You can move around fully and aim in every TS game. Infact its one of the only console shooters that you can turn aim assist off and it vastly improves the gameplay as your dead zone isnt pulling the crosshair around.
>>722341829More TS gifsThat takes me back
>>722343027>joe beths ass>you go firsthow did they get away with it?
>>722343302It was a different time.A better time.
>>722339845Didn't Timesplitter get used as basis for Fortnite? Anyways, it's sad that there'll never be a sequel. TS:FP has had so much content, modern minimally viable products can't compete.
>>722340282To add, Goldeneye started development as a rail shooter, so the "aim mode" makes sense to be a holdover from that point.
>>722347614What's with the whole "resistance" thing? How's that supposed to work?
>>722339845You to look at an enemy and spam the fire button and let the auto aim do the rest. It’s like goldeneye your supposed to just speedrun shit
