Action camera thing

Post by Lord-Bandu »

Too tired to post a review of the demo at the moment ...in short I think its gonna be an awesome game.

2 things that bugs me however are :

The 'action cam' thingy is kinda dumb ....bad angles half the time.

Also In the normal mode Id like to have full control of the angles so i could swing the camera round ( i could only move it left , right , up and down .

These things wont stop me buying the game tho'

cant wait :)

I actually liked the cinematic mode thingy, It looks pretty cool when you do that, although it zooms in on random units that arent even fighting

to rotate the camera hold down the control key and click the middle scroll button on your mouse. 8)

a little more about the camera which you may or may not have found:
-you can change the pitch of the cam in space battles with the above mentioned method [ctrl + mouse3]
-in ground battles, the pitch automatically changes when you zoom in far enough
-by hitting [c] twice, you can control the angle of the cinematic camera with the mouse, and zoom in/out with the mouse wheel
-once it seems you've hit the max zoom out level, you can keep rolling the mousewheel, and there are 2 additional levels of zoom which show a more comprehensive view of the battle. you lose the interface, tho.

There is a movie-mode, too, activated by pressing Space. As the name says in this mode the cam moves automaticly like in a movie!

I liked the movie mode. One thing i thought was interesting was in the middle of a battle on tatooine the camera was focused on 1 small mouse-like animal.

lol

it just bugs me that it keeps changing to a new camera each 3rd second!

I'd like to let it focus on one camera, and if that got boring: press Space again (like in the game) lol
it kinda bugs me to see my squadrons of fighters charging some TIE's and then it changes to another position XD

but I LOVE the Cinematic in space! :D :D :D
