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

RE: Action camera thing
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
Re: Action camera thing
to rotate the camera hold down the control key and click the middle scroll button on your mouse.Lord-Bandu wrote: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 .
RE: Re: Action camera thing
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.

RE: Re: Action camera thing
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.

RE: Re: Action camera thing
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!
