Subject: BF4 - Player lean using PS4 controller gyro Wed Aug 28, 2013 9:55 am
During a DICE interview at Gamescom '13 Executive Producer Patrick Bach said that there will be leaning (left/right) in BF4 on the PS4 (presumably on Xbox One using Kinect) utilizing the DS4's internal gyros. This will be very cool and probably present far fewer problems than COD Ghosts "contextual-leaning" that's initiated without any player input as they approach a corner or object.
Additional info via the Gaf regarding the PS4's DS4 controller:
-Touchpad will be used for Battlelog user interface navigation (and from what i've heard, setting objective markers as Squad Leader on the map)
-R1 (tap) = spotting. R1 (hold) = commands.
-Knife is now "Circle Button" or R3 "click" like COD.
Patrick talks about the lean functionality on the DS4 at around 1:35+

Looks like leaning with Kinect will probably initiate the same leaning function.
But god it looks like you'll fall over haha

Word form those who have used the DS4 with BF4 say the lean is awesome and works great. There are also upgraded gyro/ accelerometers in the DS4 that are supposedly more accurate etc. I'm excited for it... there are so many times i've wanted to just lean and peak around cover, down hallways, or over a log in BF3 and now we'll be able to in BF4!
