On The Evil Camera Shakes, Explosions, And Recoil

[Twerking_Alpacas]

Shakes and Explosions: 

 

   An appropriate screen wriggle really brings out the atmosphere, 

 

   for example when an explosive barrel blows up nearby,

 

   or the ship takes heavy fire in invasion missions.

 

 

 

   However, when there's an excessive amount of shaking as the player fires a weapon,

 

   that's just plain annoying.

 

 

   In an ODD with 4 players with Pentas ?

 

   It's like 50 minutes of being in a washing machine,

 

   everythings white, blue, shaking, and noisy

 

   and that really takes away my momentum to be there.

 

   Between realism and gameplay, I believe the latter is more important,

 

   camera shaking from weapons whether ranged or melee should really be abolished in favor of

 

   comfortable gaming.

 

Recoil:

 

   In such a fast paced fps game, landing your shots matter.

 

   And somehow, camera shakes are here to ruin your day.

 

    Which, brings me to an interesting point: Recoil is related to camera shaking.

 

   Not sure if it is intentional or not, but the mod Steady Hands not only reduces the vertical knock up,

 

   it also reduces the amount of camera shakes of your secondary.

 

   As I said, screen shaking is really annoying in terms of gameplay,

 

   even a little bit of it accumulates as you spend hours diligently farming those items you want,

 

   sometimes I slap on steady hands on all those broncos, detron, dual vastos or whatever

 

   just because I don't want hurt my eyes.

 

 

   SO ALL IN ALL, camera shaking should be left as an atmospheric tool,

 

   and entirely removed from firearms and melee.

Well said... especially bad if you have motion sickness.

 

It's been said that firearms rely on the camera shake heavily to simulate recoil, thus making the removal of it detrimental to the game itself. But an alternative fix for that could be simply making the players ignore others' camera shaking effects, you shouldn't be affected by your spammy teammates or their funky warframes' powers, only your own weapons and powers. Simple.

 

+1 either way. Camera shake is ruining the game for me :P

 

 

PS: I think you meant TPS game, not FPS.

OP weapons should shake you till yu drop coconuts

I really enjoy these effects as they are, there make the game more interesting, so I would prefer if they are not removed. Although, the shaking could be reduced a bit.

 

Also, Despite I also do it to collect resources, in ODD with 4 Penta there is hardly any "gameplay", you just have to press 2 buttons...

I honestly don't know why this is even a thing. Even the people I know who are most interested in immersion, like TES fanatics and roleplayers, turn this stuff off every time when there's an option to do so and the people who 'like' it are just sort of interested in the novelty and turn it off half the time as well. Most of the time these discussions never actually see a real proponent, and the other side is limited to people who downplay the problem.

 

Shouldn't be in-game without an option to disable it. Simple as that in my mind. I don't want to hear that the option is just 'not in yet'. TAKE IT OUT, default should be OFF. Let people turn it back ON.

 

My 2¢, IMHO.

The stug is also guilty of this.

Always fun when you use a sniper rifle, and there's an ogris guy on the team.

I thought the OP was writing a poem at first.

 

Anyway, yeah, I agree. Mostly because as someone who uses snipers and bows, v

So, so true.
