Game:Call of Duty – WW2 – XIM4 review

Another smooth gameplay of CoD

Game works great with XIM 4 as it is supported game. There is no reason to do some hardcore adjustmet, just set full sensitivity in game and adjust sensitivity in XIM menu ask you preffer. My settings is default just sentivity raised from 18 to 25 but it is just my prefference. 

Call of Duty is traditionally nice handeled and WW2 is not exception. Don’t think that it is quile to PC gaming but you can enjoy game without serious issues.

Problems

Only problem i have are sequences when special action is required (mostly action like moving left stick  to some position and press sqare button) is little bit iritating since you must aim to this location with WASD and usually i don’t achieve it in limited time so situation repeats. This is however not related directly to XIM it is rather the way how developers tried to create cinematic scenes more interactive.

To fix anoying moving of cursor using WASD buttons i have added to middle-mouse button alternativ controll (in screenshots it is named as action) which during middle mouse hold set lift stick to mouse movement to achieve better aiming to objective in cinematic scenes.

Feeling

I would higly recommend it for XIM 4. Gameplay is awesome.

Aiming

Aiming is not the problem at all.

Turning

Turning is little mit slower but not a big deal. You can handle it without problem after five minutes of gameplay. If i compare it to other CoD it is not worse or better.

Game:Star Wars – Battlefront 1- XIM4 review

Posted by Simir on 26.12.2018
Posted in: XIM4 - Game reviews.

Great experience

Game has no issue and after final tune, you should be able to do headshot by headshot. Controll behaviour is almost identical to Battlefield. So you can enjoy gameplay without thining you are not on Playstation.

Problems

The only problem is button combo R1 + L1, this is not as convenient as on controller. I did workaround with my additional button on mouse that was mapped to triggering new profile similar to original one with remapping R1 + L1 to the same mouse button. As result, once i press this mouse additionall button, L1 + R1 is pressed. After releasing the button, profile is swithed back the original.

Feeling

As I have mentioned, no problem at all. I would higly recommend it for XIM 4.

Aiming

I had to do some adjustments because aiming was not as fine as  needed. So sensitivity is littlebit lowered.

Turning

Similar to Battlefile 4, there is no big issue with overloading and turnin is pretty responsive and accurate even during fast turning.

My XIM Gaming Setup

Posted by Simir on 8.10.2018
Posted in: XIM4 - Game reviews. Tagged: , .

Since my configurations are related to my setup, let me describe what XIM gaming setup I use.

XIM

I’m still using XIM4 and I’m happy with that, maybe later, I could by APEX but for now…XIM4 is fine :).

Keyboard

From time of PC gaming I had USB keyboard that was quite useful. Even features like macros does not work, I still like design of this keyboard. My XIM setup contains keyboard ZFang.

Mouse

I’m currently using mouse dedicated just for XIM play. It is not the best you can find in market but it’s good price/performance choice. I’m using A4Tech Xl 750BK. Default DPI are set to max (3600 DPI), If i don’t mention it in review.

 

USB HUB

To avoid voltage problems once i connect USB headset, I use USB 2.0 HUB D-Link DUB H7.

Headset

For multiplayer gaming i use only generic USB headset Logitech 960USB.

 

Game:Call Of Duty – Black Ops III – XIM4 Review

Action without worries

Since this game was in PS Plus games, why should be missing review. Game is very fast and full of actions but due to great default config for XIM and control input algorithm in the game you should not faces to any troubles (at least from control point of view). Game works very smooth and only issue can be your muscle memory calibrated to other games (exactly what you can see in my video down below :)). There are almost no turning limits and aiming is still very accurate.

I think that you will have very big advantage in multiplayer once you learn muscle memory. I don’t think you could control game better with controller comparing to XIM. It looks like game was initially designed to be used with XIM.

Let’s skip discussions about fair and unfair using XIM in multiplayer games, if you focus only on single player campaign, you would enjoy game much more without stress. Single player part of this game is really enjoyable with XIM and it would be pity to skip it.

Problems

There are no problems…I’m recommend game if you are seeking for 3D shooter for XIM.

Feeling

Prompt response, this is what you feel almost whole time. XIM works without latecy.

Aiming

You must find your sensitivity but you don’t need to touch on ballistic curve (please don’t do it, this game don’t need it).

Turning

Turning is very fast and without overloading, almost exactly what you could expect on PC.

Game:Wolfenstein – The Old Blood – XIM4 Review

Posted by Simir on 29.9.2018
Posted in: XIM4 - Game reviews. Tagged: , , , , .

Game works well…

Game behaviour very similar to Wolfenstein – The New Order. From my point of view game works little bit better with turning. But maybe it’s only my subjective opinion.

Problems

Major issue is with weapon selection, circle selection works but you must pay attention to select weapon you really want.

Feeling

Once you take over slow turning that is identical to The New Order, game from is really dynamic and nothing can stop you.

Aiming

Aiming is smooth and fine…

Turning

Turning behaviour is similar to The New Order, only overloading comes little bit later, but no major difference.

Game:Wolfenstein – The New Order – XIM4 Review

Acceptable but not the best

Wolfenstein is very nice piece of single player game. You will enjoy it with XIM 4 but you might noticed some problems during turning. If you like such game style, you can get over this. Enemies usually appears from predictable directions so aiming is more important. To be honest, I did not finish this game but not due to game control itself.

Problems

Game works with XIM 4 pretty good. Only issue is turning speed.

Feeling

I did not try this game on PC but I’m sure that game is better controlled on PC. You might struggle with turning speed few minutes, once you get over this you might not even notice any problem.

Aiming

Aiming is fine, not the best but it is acceptable for single player game. Aiming is very smooth and convinient.

Turning

Turning is the only issue…I don’t understand why some Bethesda games like Doom works so good and other games like Wolfenstein has so limited turning speed. It might be caused because of sooner release date of this game… Turning is slower especially during faster movement controller become overloaded and turning speed is slower. Player must learn slower turning that paradoxly cause faster turning.

Game:Titanfall 2 – XIM4 Review

Posted by Simir on 12.9.2018
Posted in: XIM4 - Game reviews. Tagged: , , , .

Confidence in control

If I could mention just one expression regarding to control of this game, it is the confidence in gameplay with XIM 4. Accurate aiming and fast turning fits dynamic mood of this game. Control is so nice, that you would think game was designed for this control from beginning. Titanfall 2 is simply great for demonstration how XIM 4 can work and what offers to first person shooters. Even game play with titan is great, even there is slower turning, you don’t feel it as handicap. Everything works just fine :).

Problems

No problems at all, really!

Feeling

Game play with XIM 4  is really dynamic and it is really fun. You don’t feel any jitter, any controller overloading or anything that could have negative impact to play.

Aiming

As you can see it in attached video, aiming is very accurate.

Turning

Turning in this game is without problem.

Game Config

Don’t forget to set in game:

  • Sensitivity=8
  • ResponseCurve=Classic
  • Deadzone=Small

Advanced look controls config:

After some investigation (few hours) I tried to configure advanced look controls. This configuration match me but it does not mean that it is the best config. However it might help you to convergent desired config based on this. Config match my hardware setup.

XIM config:

Game look controls config:

Titanfall™ 2_20181007182322

As you can see i had to adjust horisontal/vertical sensitivity. Not sure why, but vertical sensitivity is lower, so I did small correction. Also deadzone works little bit wrong so I set deadzone settings in XIM to 0 and adjusted it only in game settings. For fast turning i had to adjust ballistic curve. Hope my settings will help you!

Game:Shadow Warrior – XIM4 Review

Playable…enjoyable

This game is the first one which is added to supported game-list due to it’s popularity, gameplay is marked with aiming issues  even though I haven’t noticed significant issue with controlling game comparing other marked as (U). Just aiming with small movement of mouse cause jitter. This can be frustrating in multiplayer games but in single player game the most of time you are able aim quickly since enemies are near you or you are using katana which does not need do much accuracy. Turning speed and smooth movement is more important for enjoy this game. I had exactly oposit feeling comparing to Metro – The Last Light.

Problems

Before you start to play, ensure you have set max. sensitivity (horizontal as well as vertical) and you have disabled aim assist, otherwise you experience nonlinear mouse movement feeling.

Game flow is really dynamic and you will take over aiming issue soon, game is really fun and with XIM 4 you can really enjoy this game.

Aiming

Aiming is an issue, you might have problems with shooting enemies in long range.  I tried to reduce sensitivity, balistic curve  and use „Steady aiming“. Nothing really helped.

Turning

Turning works pretty well. You can turn very fast in desired direction so you have no problem to beat emeies with katana even you are standing in the middle of crowd.

Game:Battlefield 1 – XIM4 Review

Posted by Simir on 28.8.2018
Posted in: XIM4 - Game reviews. Tagged: , , , , .

Great user experience

Multiplayer games are different world. As single player games does not cause much discussions, multiplayer games with XIM controller usually means for console community cheating. Fortunately Battlefield is game which does not bring so much advantge for XIM players, game itself is very focused on play strategy and XIM players are not those who must have the best score. In this game are winners players with team play. But if you don’t play multiplayer games on consoles just because of problematic control with controller, you should try Battlefield 1 with XIM. Game control with XIM is very convinent that might be judged as the best games with XIM. There are no problems at all. Game just need little tweak in game settings and you are good to go!

Problems

The only issue I was faced on was command selection like „Need Medic“ etc… selection of commands requires continuous movement of mouse in specific direction of circle menu once you are try to select it. This is very anoying and sometimes almost impossible. I seeked on internet for some selection and the best option that worked for me was alternative config on pressing R1 button. Once R1 is pressed on specific time, right stick is remapped on arrows WADS. This settings is kept until R1 is again released. You are not able to move once you selecting command but selection is much more convinient and can be used. After this tweak I stopped sending false commands „Follow me“ instead of „Thank you“ :).  Settings are described in XIM config part.

Feeling

Once game is reconfigured, everything simply works. You might forget you play on console at all. If I had to demonstrate how XIM works, I would show it on Battlefield 1.

Aiming

Aiming is without problem. You should select sensitivity that match you play style. Once you find it you would have significant advantage in situation 1:1.

Turning

Turning is very smooth and without any issues. There is almost no latency and jitter. I think there is no other PS4 game that provides so smooth turning.
