Camera feedback!

[Nightserg]

Really good game, did not expect to enjoy the few minutes I played. A souls-like needs to nail movement, animations, combat and while it's easy so far, I'm sure it'll get harder later on.

I do have one big suggestion tho, please allow us to disable to auto-follow camera or whatever its called, when you move and look elsewhere the camera automatically moves behind your back, which is a bit annoying. Also I think the DLSS version u;re using might be an old one, as the game is very blurry even on Quality, although seeing as the game runs over 100 FPS without on my PC, not much of an issue.

Thanks!

Toggle for Auto Camera Yaw
I'd like an option to remove the automatic camera yaw that's linked to the character's movement. That is, currently in the demo, the player's input command for moving the character to the right of the screen will also simultaneously cause the camera to yaw clockwise, and the player's input command for moving the character to the left of the screen will cause the camera to yaw counter-clockwise.

Slider for Photopollution Opacity
As a somewhat unrelated topic to camera, I'd like to an option to for reducing/removing photopollution (excessive particle effects, which overlay on top of the visual cues of the enemies' actions like the stupid Final Fantasy XVI and many other MMORPGs).

Slider for Distance between Camera and Character
If you don't wanna encourage ppl to hack the FoV via 3rd-party programs, then please add an FoV slider in the game.

Better yet, implement a slider for adjusting the distance between the camera and the character (like the feature found in many other MMORPGs), which does not cause fish-eye effect (result of high FoV value).

Toggle for Delay of the Following Camera
I'd like an option to remove the delay of the camera that follows the character. That is, as soon as the character moves, the camera should immediate follow the character. In other words, the distance between the camera and the character should remain constant. Although the delay in this demo is shorter compared to other Fromsoft's titles, the increased distance between the camera and the character as a result of such a delay is still noticeable when the character sprints

Many Thanks
Finally, I thank the devs for not incorporating the stupid auto FoV changes when the character state switches to sprinting and when character slows down out of the sprinting state (i.e. this demo has a good thing - constant FoV), which is a nauseating motion-sickness feature in many other games that causes the camera FoV to repeat the cyclical pattern of increasing and decreasing when the character sprints and then stops sprinting (i.e. cyclical distortion of the 3D scene). I also thank the devs for the option of being able to disable camera shake, which is another source of motion sickness found in many action games.

This is a thread born of my own heart - I HATE AUTO-CENTERING CAMERAS!!
I'm, in fact, a controller player; but I have a uniquely dexterous way of using a controller that allows me to "play the movie": constant cinematic rotation of the camera, even in combat situations.
I like to play - especially 3rd person games - FULLY PANORAMIC, capitalizing off of the ability to choose dynamic angles in order to enjoy immersive visuals. A camera that FORCES you to look in a particular direction is liken unto being involuntarily forced to turn your head in a certain direction whenever you move - very VERY untenable.

Please Devs, give the option to experienced players to TURN OFF CAMERA AUTO-CENTERING.
Thank you.

THIS! Please Devs, give the option to experienced players to TURN OFF CAMERA AUTO-CENTERING.
Thank you.

Anyone gets a slight stutter when the camera freaks out when you accidentally move left or right?

[AILAD]

Yeah, the auto-camera turning is pissing me off so much.

[karol.pcgaming]

Auto camera follow is terrible. Add a toggle to turn it off.

This wasn't fixed for launch, nor did they add an option to disable auto-follow.

It made me motion sick halfway to the first boss. Don't want to continue playing.

I don't have much hope they'll fix this though. At any rate, please join me in contacting them about it: [e-mail]

Havent bought the game yet, going to finish my backlog soon, but damn, sad to hear they havent fixed/added a setting for it. I suppose, when I'' buy it, I'll just lock it to 60FPS. No other workaround for it.

+1 Please disable camera auto-follow

I'm thinking about buying the game but the auto centre camera is a dealbreaker for someone like me who plays only with mouse and keyboard. Yesterday I saw that there is a mod that disables this annoying feature but said mod is broken with the latest patch. Now the weird part is I saw 2 guys (reddit and nexusmods) saying that the game did patch that feature out automatically when using a mouse. Can someone please test if that is true?

I have it on game pass and haven't played it since launch but last I played it the auto centering was only affecting controllers. No issues with m+kb.

Dear Developer, Please add an option to allow follow camera off or on. also I need camera speed follow player faster. I hold O to dash all the time and don't have finger spare to use right stick.
