No hood cam?

http://imgur.com/a/lCqcq#0 <- That is the definitive writeup.

Tere's not much more I can do people. You NEED to give this link to others and you need to email them.

Let the trolls be trolls in this thread, it's because we're very passionate - so it's fun to poke us, I get it ,I used to troll all the time too - let them have their fun, who cares.

 

For the love of f*ck anyone still reading who gives a sh*t? http://imgur.com/a/lCqcq<- post the URL in other threads and EMAIL THEM.

Thanks, I guess :/ I don't see what else I can do about this.

 

I like this. You make a good point.

I don't know why so many people are flaming this. I'm not asking them to remove the cockpit view. One of the things that has always made Grand Theft Auto so great has been the fact that you could do basically anything you want. Not just in the game, but in the options. It increases the appeal. For those who love the cockpit view over the hood camera, can just simply not use the hood camera.

Personally, I feel the hood camera is more of what I see in more life. My FOV going down the highway is the road and the horizon, I glance at my speedometer, but it's not in my FOV. Try it. Next time you drive somewhere, just start down the road and check yourself, see what most of your vision is focused on, what you see in your FOV. Although it may exist in your field of view, your still have to glance at your speedometer. For a split second, you still have to look away from the road to check your speed.

If you're eyes are constantly fixated on your gauges, and not the road, you might be on of them 'problems' on the highway. haha

Rockstar should have left the Hood/Bonnet Camera mode in. In addition to the 'Cockpit' camera. That way both camps would be happy.

Guys, girls,

 

It's awesome you all care still, it's f*cking great you're as pissed as me but all my effort did nothing, I need the help of people reading these threads.

You SHOULD be contacting Rockstar, getting 'posting approval access' granted on the Official Rockstar Forums and posting in the threads.

I already did.

I'm sure they check some forums, probably not in an official capacity, but of course they'd be curious what their fan base thinks, and large forums like these are good places to see people's thoughts and reactions.

No because console limitations, kesh kurds, and other poor excuses.

 

Not everyone can be pleased, and you hood-cam lovers are a small minority. Sorry for your loss.

You might be in luck if you're getting a PC version.

 

It's always easier to just disable a feature than completely remove it / delete it as it might be dependent on other variables. With a bit of wishful thinking and some patience you could look through the files and see if you can find the "hood" camera and unlock it for use!

I also sent an email to support today.

 

I also cannot stand the current cockpit view. Jacked my driving up pretty bad until I got used to it. Driving fine now, but still not in love with all the screen real-estate consumed by the dash.

 

I'll take the hood cam option from PS3, but a centered hood cam would be even better.

Your feedback is appreciated man, maybe if we're lucky they'll see the error of their ways :/

Might be worth posting in the thread regardless, even though they prefer email.

I really hope they bring back the hood cam. Am I the only one who finds the first person mode while driving difficult? There is too much of the interior and not enough of the exterior. I liked being able to see past the windscreen, better corner handling and obstructions. We need hood cam.

How difficult was it to alter camera position in vehicles on GTA IV PC? I wonder if when I buy V for pc, I can modify the camera for vehicles before I even start playing. Just looks like the camera needs to be moved a bit higher and to the right so it's not like your right up against the door of the car. With a bit more centered and higher, the dashboard won't be as much of an issue.

Thanks to all the people who have commented over at the Rockstar forums or voted on the thread there, it's a 'trending' thread now, so maybe, just maybe it will get tracction.

 

I don't wanna let this go - the only way I'm enjoying this game is with motorbikes, it's really taken a lot out of it for me. Fingers crossed.

 

Oh...my...God... I have been anxiously awaiting this game and my PS4 that I ordered as a post Christmas present to myself. Even though I already had owned the PS3 version I just really wanted to enjoy the scenic vistas in the graphically improved PS4 version.

 

and I just want to cry over the lack of the hood cam in cars but I want to just smash the game over the lack of the regular hood view in the air planes... W...T....F!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRGHH!!!

 

why is it not on option?!?!? ROCKSTAR! I want to return this game or sell it over the lack of a nice hood view. I think the first person is very cool and I plan to use it at times but PLEEEASE PATCH and give us the option of the hood cam!!

 

I loved just flying around dive bombing and doing crazy stuff in my planes in the old first person view! I want to see the road and I want to see the pretty scenary... not some stupid cockpit gimmick!!

 

 

please please please please patch this or I am going to truly regret buying this version.

 

thanks.

The main thing I miss is the r3 button reverse hood view where you can see the characters facial expressions while driving or during a cutscene but I've gotten along with out it though. I've become adept at first person driving.

it hasn't been added, I'm out - I give up.

http://i.imgur.com/fsJhFg1.jpg selling my copy later this week, it's been a blast - thanks for all the help regardless.

 

EDIT: Sold it in 24 minutes on our aussie version of Craigslist, can't believe I'm doing this but I hate it that much. I'll keep the PS3 edition with my hood cam, thanks.

Sad to see you go.. I am as passionate about this as you, but don't have the patience or time to keep on as you did.. I relied on yourself to keep up the fight and now you are gone there is literally ZERO chance that anything will be done (even thought there is a near-Zero chance of it happening even with your campaign).

 

All i can say is "thanks for trying"!.
