| IMU1808 said: I don't understand your comment about God of War. The series has always had an excellent FIXED camera with the second analogue being used just for dodging. Something that was handled perfectly well on the PSP versions. |
Yeah, GoW was the one major downscaled console game that didn't suffer from the lack of a 2nd stick as the game never had a free movement 3D camera. VCII worked fine as well (nothing lost in translation), but mainly because it's not a fast moving action game.
But just about every other 3rd person game, FPS game, or non-2D shooter has benefitted from the inclusion of a free roam 3D camera.
About the only modern games that don't benefit are those specifically designed with fixed camera angles as a gameplay element or those with a low framerate that would be exposed by rapid user camera movement.
