Demo Controller Camera scheme

[jive]

some people have talked about the more-vertical looking camera, i also notice that but this topic is about another issue

in the demo, camera control on controllers is by default rotating and zooming on the right stick and you have to hit free camera to pan it around. and even then it doesnt stay put if your character moves around. this feels incredibly clunky to control and move the camera around. it wouldnt even be as bad if you held free camera and panned with right stick, but you still have to use left stick to pan which means you cant move character at the same time as the camera

i get that you may want to try something different, but it worked fine for the last 2 games, so could you at least add an option for the legacy control of panning with right stick and holding RT to rotate and zoom? thanks

I really don't like the new camera. It's a surprise after having played "Shadow Tactics - Aiko's Choice" which had a perfect camera.

I want to increase the pitch more to see further when being zoomed in. I don't see the point of the vertical view when zooming out: It's difficult to recognize the enemies, the paths...

And more importantly, with RT to press to have a free camera, it's not possible to move the character wile freely moving the camera! It makes the free camera unusable.

Camera is so bad im thinking about not buying this game at all. My pc is quite old and i wanted to play this game on PS5, but tried demo on PC (loading time is forever without SSD btw) and i loved everything except camera, which I hated. Its literally unplayable.

I played all mimimi games at hardest diffulty with controller but I also really don't like the new camera too. I'm just start thinking to not buy the game if this not changed in the final game. At least old camera can be a option. At this state of the game characters too chunky to control.

PS: I played the demo a little longer and I just can't stand the new camera system. Mimimi you guys just seem ruined the perfect camera system of the old games. If this new camera system stays on final game, I won't be buying this game unfortunately.

I tried again but I finally gave up on the demo because of the camera.

I want to increase the pitch. Everything is less readable than in previous games. There is some vertically in the game but the game doesn't show the relief correctly. It's hard to see if a character is crouched or not. It forces to zoom out a lot to see things far from the character.

I don't want the camera to always be centered on the character. The area to attack will almost never be all around the character. I want to be in control of the camera all the time, while moving, to show the area that I plan to attack.

I don't want to change of pitch and to switch to the map when zooming out.

It was the game that I expected the most this year but I won't play if it is to rant against the camera all the time. I restarted Aiko's Choice to compare and everything was so smooth in it. If you don't want to change default settings, please add a legacy camera option.

Just asking for clarification. Are you referring to the demo controls, or have you purchased the game and the controls many of us dislike from the demo are still in the final release?

If so, I will unfortunately have to skip Shadow Gambit. I hate the changes made to the camera, it makes the game a hassle to play, so if it's a hassle, I just won't bother.

I have purchased the game. But yea, I haven't gotten much progress in the game because of the camera change with controller.
