BZHNewbie 6 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Hi everybody, it's been a long time that I'd like to get on "Warframe", only here's a detail that I can't manage to stay on it, yes I've already tried an approach to the game, but because of this camera called TPS, if I'm not mistaken, This camera has always unsettled me in games that use it, even when trying to move the camera as far back as possible, it doesn't work, there is always this unpleasant effect of the camera on the side, for the fighting phases, it's not really practical and can sometimes be unsettling. So, I would like to know, will there be an option of this kind one day, allowing you to play properly with the type of camera of your choice? I don't think this is harmful for anyone, because whoever is used to playing with such and such a view, this one should not be bothered by the view of the other, it's just a matter of camera and visuals. As far as I'm concerned, I'm just waiting for that to be able to spend more time on Warframe, of which I've heard a lot of good things and I often see great news about the game, I would like to add, that, I'm far from being the only one to find this current camera system unpleasant, as I've already seen a lot of discussions on the subject (on various forums) and many people don't play Warframe simply because of this detail, so allowing such an option would (I think) be (I think) more "beneficial" than "bad" for the game. I hope to get a little feedback from the devs on this point, or at least from the person in charge of answering this ;) Cordially, a potential player ! :p 3 Link to post Share on other sites
(PSN)DoctorWho_90250 962 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 If you mean a first person camera view then don't hold your breath. Don't think DE will ever add that to the game. Link to post Share on other sites
Corvid 9,407 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) I'd hope for this as well. Would go a long way toward removing the "Frame gets in front of the camera" issues. 7 hours ago, (PSN)DoctorWho_90250 said: If you mean a first person camera view then don't hold your breath. Don't think DE will ever add that to the game. Pretty sure he means a third person camera that is centred on the player model, ala Lost Planet.

Fallen77 1,951 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Being able to customize somewhat freely the camera ? Yes, yes, yes and yes everyday ! Solely the option to center it ? I mean if it makes some happy I won't fight it, but such an overwhelming meh imho. What I would be extatic to have would be the ability to push the camera MORE to the side, so that I can finally equip some shoulder pieces without having them covering my entire aiming reticule. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
(PSN)robotwars7 20,528 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I guess the option wouldn't hurt, but you'd still have to put up with shoulder aim with guns. when the camera is already offset, it doesn't have to "move" as much to go into aiming mode, so it's a lot less disorienting than going from central to right should aim.

They'd never do anything like FPS camera that might potentially remove those cosmetics from your attention. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You do realise that if you're looking at a cosmetic in 3rd person when you can't in 1st, it's one you've already bought, right? Also, there's a whole laundry list of games that prove players care what they look like in-game even if they can't see it themselves. Edited February 28 by Corvid 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BZHNewbie 6 Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 No, I'm not talking about an FPS view, but a common view as on most MMORPGs where the character serves as the centre of the camera, seen in the 3rd person. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of first person games still sell cosmetics for your character, dude. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Psianide73 660 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Imagine bullet jumping in first person... Pulling the camera back and centering the character would be fine though, and should be an option. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But does the DE higher up who mandated "3rd person exclusive, gotta work those cosmetics" know this? Probably not, its the only explanation for this and many other decisions that seem arbitrary.

And the fact that games that let you switch between 1st and 3rd person are an extreme minority to begin with. Also, you do realise that those "Higher ups" are the same people we see in the devstreams, right? They aren't just faceless people in suits. You're making an assumption by saying that cosmetics are the reason for the 3rd person viewpoint, despite that being something that was decided on back when the project was still called Dark Sector (in other words, back in the mid-2000s).

Drachnyn 7,852 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I think we need to be able to zoom out before that's possible but that's something DE should do anyway so why not. Link to post Share on other sites

Like these (pic 1 is from FF14, pic 2 is from WoW, and pic 3 is Star Wars: The Old Republic): From watching the three videos for a bit is that the camera moves in the direction the player moves. If that is what you mean, I don't think DE will add that considering Warframe is meant to look and play like an action adventure game and therefore the camera not being tied to player movement is a given.

Could be wrong, but I think @BZHNewbiemeans this: where the camera moves with the player (video is timestamped for relevant part) Link to post Share on other sites

Pulling the camera back and centering the character would be fine though, and should be an option. The camera doesn’t need to spin with you... Warframe isn’t the first game to have a character that spins. No game designer would make the camera spin specially not on an action you need to do hundreds of times per mission.

Yep and I even though they show their faces in camera I don't trust them and consider them to be creedy corpos who put money first but hey, I don't have a founder tag, so I guess I'm biased. or is the other way around? hmmmmh Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, I player S#&$loads of mirrors edge and I damn love the feeling that the rolling camera gives, even if its not practical. I would love to see the bullet jump spin with my own eyes, the rolls and knockdowns too. Edited March 1 by KittySkin 1 Link to post Share on other sites
