About Camera

[The Manual]

Hello everyone!

I'll be short. I have the game on my console, and I really like it. But, to be honest, I always found managing the camera a little tricky, especially with monsters like Odogaron, Tobi-Kadachi, etc.

Since I'm doing a research about cameras in videogames, I would like to know your opinion about MHW's camera. I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Apart from the smoothing for the mouse (due to joystick emulation because of Capcom's shoddy port), it's serviceable. It doesn't respond instantly unless you adjust a few things. I recall editing some config to make it snappier, so I can do sharp turns.

Useable, but I have seen better in relatively worse ports/games. If you use a controller on PC as well, it's no different, however.

As for how its controls, its fine. Could maybe stand to let you zoom it out further.

Did they remove the raw input option they patched in or something?

I would love a soul's like lock on feature for MH games but they made the lock-on feature in MHW absolutely garbage.

i like it better than most games. for example, with the lock-on, you can actually set it so it doesn't move vertically, ever. i'm so used to this setting now, any game that doesn't have it gets instantly put on a list

i also really prefer the tap-to-face-monster version rather than the full lock-on camera. (i use controller btw idk how it is with mouse, probably worse) i have a feeling i'd probably get dizzy or something if i used it in this game lol

this original comment had a rant inserted here, i'll just say that apparently it seems i really don't like it when games move the camera for me. idk maybe i'm just a control freak, but ♥♥♥♥ any games that auto-move the camera when near walls or w/e. i'll move it if i want to move it, thank you and have a nice day

Use mods that increase your field of view.

camera angles and no collision makes you lose yourself inside the monster in MH games, which i really detest.due to that, sometimes i get brain cogs locked, if i do forget which combo im executing at that specific moment. because of all that i do it with muscle memory instead of seeing. and since i cant see my character , sometimes instead of a combo, it becomes a messy button smash.

well its not a big problem, if the monster dies at the end and we return hq gloriously but still it doesnt feel fluid enough for my taste.

You can turn on character outline/highlight but it only helps a little due to the chaotic fight scene and overused visual effects.

Shouldn't need mods to be able to see most of the monster lmao
The games have had this problem up until Rise honestly, in there the furthest camera setting actually feels about how it should be

I agree that an actual FoV option should be standard in every pc game but there isn't one and you can easily mod the fov to give a wider view.

There is one.

It's called camera distance in the options.

It has been there since launch.

I'll be honest, I would need more feedbacks for my research, but I'll make the current ones be enough.

Thank you users that have already replied to this post.

Of course, if someone else would like to join in MHW's camera discussion, I'll be glad to collect more feedbacks.
