I just saw this on GameSpot. I kind of understand what he’s saying but it looks like the dev is attempting to ease people’s concern with the aim assist since the game is scheduled to be released on November 15.
DelHoyo explained that this video looks like an extreme example of aim assist–because it is. The player has gone AFK and the game moves the crosshairs onto the enemy as part of the aim assist feature, which is popular in many online shooters. DelHoyo pointed out that, had the player touched the mouse (or controller, presumably), aim-assist would be “instantly disabled.”
“Once movement stops, it takes half a second to enable again. This does not come into effect during gameplay,” DelHoyo said. – GameSpot
