I love the game, but the camera is bloody frustrating.....I just wish you could turn the auto centre off when your moving. GTA is a game you want to look around when your driving/running, to catch the scenery; but the camera makes this impossible. Please fix this in a patch R*!!!!!! Anyone else have this trouble or is it me being too picky???

You mean how when using the right analogue stick to look around, it still tries to auto-centre when you're moving forward? Yeah, I dislike that quite a bit, especially for aiming. Not hugely, but it is an irk I've noticed. I mean, we can auto-centre it ourselves by clicking right right analogue stick in and letting go.. Been doing that since GTA3.

I cant help you while running but driving camera is great. I have an xbox so, if you do too. Hold down B when driving and tap the left thumbstick down for slow motion you can cycle through camera angles by pressing B but while your finger is off B it goes back to normal speed so keep that in mind. So just keep clicking B too change camera angles.I also drive around in the in car view, just like when I drive in a Forza 2 for example.I love the camera

I agree.It's very annoying,you constantly have to keep moving the camera just to keep a decent view while moving.This happens on foot or driving.I can't tell how many times I have been driving only to have the camera go all the down to street level.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves of the game. Why did Rockstar think it would be a good idea? No third-person uses auto-center, why did Rockstar add this stupid thing? Walking down a flgiht of stairs becomes clumsy and a chore.

 

It controls WORSE than San Andreas. That should NOT happen. We need to send them an email to fix and patch this up. at least give us the option, we dont all want auto-center!

I personally think the camara while on foot isn't bad, but when driving a car its that f**king bad.I could easily lose control of it.Rockstar needs a patch!Though this game is very addicting.

When im driving i just keep my thumb on the right stick and turn the camera no big hassle i find the flight of stairs on foot a bit strange like cant see whats in front of me most the time

 

Homeless guy at top of windy stairs with rusty knife > me running blindly up stairs

 

other than the stairs tho the game is the closest thing to a perfect free roam game i ever seen

This camera issue is annoying me quite a bit confused.gif I really cant believe rockstar put so much effort into this amazing game, and left this stupid auto centering camera in. I would've enjoyed this game SO much more without it (still the game of the year though smile.gif ), there should at least be an option to turn it off!!!! Please R* include the option in a patch, it would improve multi play immensely.

 

The only other fault I can find is the slight targeting problem when in cover, but that is no where near as major!

In an early Little Jacob mission (guy in my icon) I kept walking into walls inside a house and running into the stupid staircase trying to help my friend out during a shootout. I never had this problem with Tommy Vercetti or CJ. Why is Niko such a slow clutz? I can't swing the camera quickly anymore. In games like Max Payne and Gears of War I rule, but with this auto-centering on, it's setting me back.

 

Why didnt any tester or preview editor mention this to Rockstar before making it set in stone and making us bump into walls like morons?
