Moreover, you&#39;re beating a dead genre in the face. We&#39;re good on FPS&#39;es. Seriously.<br /><br />* Third person, straight behind, manual camera - Well done game developer, you&#39;ve just given up on making a working camera for a 3D environment and told the player to do work for you. Shame and indignity on your family name.<br /><br />* Third person, controlled by the environment - Also known as God of Warovision, this is potentially the single most annoying camera you can use in a game. At the very least make me do it - I can do it better.<br /><br />* Third person, over the shoulder - This poor bastard love child of FPS and that last thing I just insulted made its popular debut in Gears, and frankly it works - but at the expense of being able to see the front of your character.<br /><br />That&#39;s it. That&#39;s all the ways that have been invented to do three dimensional cameras.TridenThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028746682160003996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-43553967753709692902009-09-07T21:36:34.959-07:002009-09-07T21:36:34.959-07:00Some one obviously hasn&#39;t played Odin Sphere.<br />Otherwise that someone wouldn&#39;t be saying anything bad about 2D games.Angeliquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387183688310239530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-87310746850363645302009-09-06T11:14:12.412-07:002009-09-06T11:14:12.412-07:00Yeah, and the devs solution to this is make more shitty 1st person games rather than fix the problems with the third person ones...Mil'berethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08832742479039913830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-57870983148806860192009-09-04T06:55:02.604-07:002009-09-04T06:55:02.604-07:00Not allowing you to move the camera is the worst part of it. I&#39;ve had a few sticky moments trying to adjust the camera when I enter the room but I am able to adjust it. That is the point. Static cameras should die.Chewiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18040375766201637365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-28936154308183980312009-09-04T04:31:54.266-07:002009-09-04T04:31:54.266-07:00there&#39;s nothing wrong w/ 2d games.<br /><br />examples: Shadow Complex &amp; Trials HD on XBLAUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17934887117008960487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-4916088328876591882009-09-04T03:16:20.800-07:002009-09-04T03:16:20.800-07:00To be honost, I don&#39;t think the makers of Muramasa should feel any shame.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476280700998210943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-18578051232881453622009-09-04T00:41:31.822-07:002009-09-04T00:41:31.822-07:00Rest assured, there WOULD be a developer that made a Sudoku game with a bad camera.<br /><br />&quot;What the hell? Zoom out! I&#39;m trying to figure out this square, but how am I supposed to do that when I can only see 4 boxes? Shit, I just put a second 6 in that square because I couldn&#39;t see the other one.
