New Cinematic Camera Angles

[johnny_zoo]

I really hope there to be new camera view present in the game like when on a motorbike or in a car or helicopter the camera is not high up facing the road or centered. Instead it should be closer to the boot (or back of the aircraft) and lower to the ground. This will create a new feeling of being closer to the action because we can see dirt fly up and maybe even hit the camera. It would really create a better cinematic feel for the game. I know they changed it in IV when they pushed it slightly to the left. This can be improved even more however.

 

If the camera angle matches the eyeline of the characters. Immersion and cinema feel increases exponentially!

 

This is what I hope they have:

 

-Lower down to the hood/back of the car facing the horizon

-Make a top down view like before

-A stationary camera on buidlings that follows you when you turn into streets. This would be a FAR better cinematic feel instead of wobbly movements.

-The camera tracks you, ala CCTV, nice and steady allowing large field of view so you can see whats ahead of you!

 

The current cinematic view is rubbish because you cant even see where you're going when you activate it. I bet kn one ever uses it. Think how much cooler driving will be when the camera view is set lower down. I mean permanent views like this shot

I don't know but GTA V is coming across to me as a more cinematic game than ever before. They need to get the right camera angles to accentuate this. How awesome would it be to play GTAV with these camera angles. Man I'm so excited just thinking about it.

Agreed, there were some occasions using the cinematic angle in IV where I literally couldn't see where I was as my vision was blocked. Although, this could have alot to do with the fact that Liberty City has lots of tall buildings therefore automatically making the angle harder to use.

Pretty sure that helicopter one is already in IV.

It would be nice if they improved the cinematic camera, but I don't think you should read too much into the camera positions and such in screenshots and trailers, as they are almost certainly custom.

Sometimes I wish you could lock some views in Cinematic mode. I hate how it switches up every couple of seconds.

i hope that these don't influence my driving skills too much

i'm already not the greatest^^

We need split screen cinematics. Or picture in picture. That way you can retain control but also have the cinematic angles, like news helicopter view.
