First Person Camera
I have to say the animations in this game look stunning. I love how the running animation in the trailer makes it look like their actually moving fast. So many games have a sprint button but it only feels like your character is only jogging. This one looks like you're actually sprinting.

One thing I noticed was the camera looks like its coming from the players chest. Some of the grass/logs you run by look like they'd be at torso height but when your close to them it looks like they are eye height. It doesn't really matter to be honest, but it seems like the player feels 4 feet tall.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

The player the Dev made could be 4 feet tall.

I didnt think of that. I know a few games have had the same problem though. Battlefield was one of them

It really feels like you're playing a midget. Although the player character does also look shorter than a real human. But even if we are midgets the camera is still in the chest area. If you put a standing torch on the ground and then go right in front of it, the top of the torch is at eye level in 1st person view but if you switch to 3rd person the top is at chest level. Like you said, it doesn't really matter but it feels really weird. Or actually in one thing it does matter and being a game of survival where you both hunt and are hunted it is a great advantage to have your eyes up high so you can see better.
