There will of course be a point where the gun cannot be moved any further from center, meaning that in a FPS game, you wont be able to turn completley around using only the pointer, you'll have to use the analog stick extension for that. This also makes sense in that, if your facing an enemy that is toward the right side of the screen, you could not touch the analog thumb stick at all, and simply move your gun using the pointer. Your character didnt actually turn any, his arms simply aimed the gun in the desired direction. There's really no other way to describe it, it should make perfect sense, its genius really.

thats not how FPS games work tho, and im sure it wont be how this works. a traditional fps, be it pc or console, the cursor is always centered. you'd look up down left right. but in a fps, looking also turns your body, thats why the gun is always where it is.
analog stick would be move foward, move backwards, strafe left, strafe right... it would be EXTREMELY awkward. not to mention slower, whenever you want to turn a corner you'd have to wait while the analog stick turns your whole body? no. What your saying is more of a shooting gallary, where screen stays and you aim at different parts.
in a fps, if the analog stick turn (as your method says) turns left right and steps foward and backwards, and the crosshair moves on the screen to what your point at. What controls if you look up on a ledge above you, or look down if your standing on a cliff or platform? Thats why a FPS the crosshair stays centered and you look where you want.
it has to be more of xantars method, where you hold a button down to make it tell your moving it, then let the button go and it doesnt sense movment afterwards (or the other way around.)
