The gamepad is the cockpit, that cockpit cannot let the player see an external view of the craft, from a birdseye view locking down at the craft, because the cockpit is inside of the Arwing. The gamepad is the view through fox's eyes (unless the role of image output is reversed with the camera being on the Gamepad and Cockpit being on the TV), so when he's inside of the craft he's never going to be able to see anything besides what he can view through the glass of the cockpit, the camera has limitations, everything you see is connected, across both the TV output and Gamepad images. The gamepad follows the same limitations of viewing angle that any pilot would have in real life, the main screen and gamepad don't have completely different perspectives, in the sense of one being truly unbound from the other, when the two are on opposing sides of view they're still always a part of the same image. The Gamepad has never been shown using a top down view of the the craft or surrounding environment, so I really don't get where you're getting this idea from, because that's never been shown in any of the Nintendo Directs. The angles can definitely be extreme and rendered within the same image pass, as a developer you're representing an image in 3D space. Think of this like a multimonitor set-up. |
What about when the i-Direct is in a complete different room solving puzzles, and opening doors.
