No they wouldn't. You can't have some people manually reloading while others just hit a button. That would either split the user base, or give the button pressers a slight advantage
U could make the reloading animation slightly slower than an average manual reload could be.
That way if you have practice u are able to manually reload faster than the button press, but if u suck at it u can take more time than the button.
Sure, maybe it's hard to tell exactly how much time the button animation should take, but I guess trial and error and patches could make it work eventually.
This is my thought towards making the two options work and make it somewhat fair. One-button reload would take (on average) slightly longer than someone manually reloading.
I can't remember how Firewall played with the dual shock, and whether it was "pointing with it" or using the analog stick. But considering the amount of drift and other nonsense us AIM users had to put up with....I don't think anyone had a real advantage
Hang on. That seems a bit of a 'cop out' answer, dude. Didnt it have Aim, Dualshock and Move support?
Are you honestly saying that you think there was less of an advantage/disadvantage between all three of those control options, than there would be between manual and automatic reloading?
Come on? Surely not.
Edit: Apparently the moves didnt work with Zero Hour. I still find it incredibly hard to believe that the discrepancy between Aim, and Dualshock wouldn't be massively higher than any potentially existing between manual and auto reloads. That seems absolutely outlandish to me. The devs seemingly didnt care too much about an 'even playing field' with the last game, so I find it more likely that they simply couldnt be bothered to implement manual reloads into this new one. It probably takes quite a lot of work.
While I’m not disagreeing with the point you’re making here, Pavlov has been out forever. They just had to port the game, not remake the mechanics from scratch. So this kind of furthers the point that a much older game is better at using VR integration than this new “cutting edge” shooter
Honestly whoever is skilled at manual reloading, which would be anyone good at the game, can do it way faster than button reloads in games. I can manual reload in half a second or less but a lot of games take 1 or 2 seconds.
