Shoulder Cam changes PLEASE!

[TemplarGFX]

I absolutely love this game. Huge nods to the original Space Hulk PC Game!

One thing that I really wish would be improved apon some more is the shoulder cam. Its freaking awesome. but its also missing in action at the best moments! Please make these simple changes :

Make the Cam point at the target the Terminator is shooting at. At the moment, when the Terminator takes aim, the camera is twisted to the left and you get a great (but boring) shot of the wall instead of an awesome view of corridor as your termi blasts down it!

Make the Shoulder Cam visible during the Genestealer turn showing the view of the Terminator that a) Sees a genestealer or b) attacks/defends

Make the Shoulder Cam visible during close combat

Make the Shoulder Cam visible during action sequences


While I understand that according to the FLUFF the camera is installed just below the light on the Terminator Armor. The Should Cam would be so much more awesome if it was attached to the helmet. This would lower the view, giving you a better view of genestealers in an adjasent square (at the moment you just see the top of their head) and also give a better view of the Terminators' weapons and animations while walking/fighting.

I would pay money for this I swear! I spend more time in this game watching that little camera than anything else!

[Sirion Jadie]

Totally agreed.

Have had a few request for this, so ofc it's something that would be nice to have. I can poke the programmers and designers for it, but with our busy shedule at the moment, I don't thinksuch a change is right around the corner unfortunately ;/

[TemplarGFX]

As long as it is on the boards. Playing for hours last night, I was watching the animations of the termnators. their heads track alot when moving and idling, having the camera on the helmet (so it follows head movement) would be freaking awesome!

[Zuggi]

But what should then be shown when introducing Space Wolves without helmets ? :P

Targetter feeds would be neat. ;)

[TemplarGFX]

Ocular Implant would solve that

[TemplarGFX]

Or keep it shoulder mounted, but have the camera actively track with the marines head. My main problem with the camera is that more often than not the camera ends up pointing at a wall instead of the action

I was very disappointed with the camera. You can even release a dlc with improved camera and number of cool filters for it. I surely will buy it.

Ah, just realized, I can suggest addition of ability to export the video to video file! It would be fun to share vid of ten genestealers killed in a row. Barely recognizable genestealers' shadows in a mist of electronic effects.

+1
and make it switchable to fullscreen
the shoulder camera is one of the best features of this game!

make it a priority then :)..seriously one of the best features of the game and this detail is keeping it from giving us the immersion we want

[xandros999]

I agree. The camera is the most immersive part of the graphics. Getting to see the actioin first-hand, preferably in full screen, would be gold.

Nasal-cam!! (dear gods, please point it out and not up [shudders])

[ken.allen.1976]

Agree with above ideas. Full screen shoulder cam.

[Ighten]

Not bothered about full screen but yes please tweak where its looking...Im guessing the issue is its fixed on the model and if it looked in the correct direction for firing would probably be wrong for the walking

[datguy13]

Now's probably a good time to mention that these cameras are not actually on the shoulder of the Marine. They are on a fixed point at the top of the Backpack casing to the torso armor. Although some aesthetic modification is fun and cool, logically those cameras aren't going to often be pointed straight ahead when Marine fighting stance is set at an angle in order to decrease their visible profile and to shoot.

As for full-screen helemt cams? Nifty... if I was playing a first person shooter. ;)
