Chase camera

[BattleSheep]

Please add a chase camera as an option. It's much easier to corner when you can actually see the corner before you enter it.

It's 2022 and you're using the godly Unity engine. You should be able to add a chase cam class in your game and add an enable switch in less than 2 hours. I get you want to emulate how old arcade racing games played for 'nostalgia' but it would be nice if the game was playable for the younger people who didn't grow up with that style.

I love your game but its unplayable for me like this. I love racing games but my brain just doesn't work with locked cameras.

Definitely agree. I stopped playing for this exact reason. :)

This camera angle is pretty much the charm/focal point of the game. Chase cam will just make this game a crappy generic arcade racing game and it'll drown into obscurity because of it. This nostalgic camera angle is what separates it from the rest. If u can't adjust to the camera angle, maybe this game isn't for u. It is a top-down racer, after all. Besides, a chase cam would just make it too easy.

There's plenty of indie arcade racers out there if you don't want the top-down experience. Maybe something like Star Drift, Art of Rally or the like is more your thing if that's the case.

I disagree. I think the art style is the charm of this game and the reason I bought it initially

Yes. This is why I stopped playing and don't recommend it. My review will remain negative until an option is added.

Not really. It's called 'nostalgic' for a reason, there are plenty of games with this as the style point going back decades.

Good. Some of us just want to have easy, relaxing, fun game to play. It doesn't always have to be challenging, especially when it doesn't need to be. I drive in iRacing when I want to have a challenge. ;)

I have Art of Rally and enjoy it. Unfortunately it lacks other cars to race and it's just time trials essentially. The other game is centered around drifting, which can be fun but isn't really comparable.

I love the view angle. It's great to be nearly 60 and be able to thrash teenagers at the game as they can't get their heads around which way to turn the car. ;)

the devs in the discord said they tried a chase cam but the length of the tracks just meant it was like being flung around
