Camera View question

[ACEH]

Hi All,

I downloaded the beta and preordered the game - it looks very good.
But my question is - on some videos and screenshots I see a different camera angled than the one in the beta. There I can only zoom in and out. But in the trailer for example the camera angle looks different. Is there any option for a free-angled camera?
Thanks in advance!

I think it's in the full game. I saw the guy do it on that beta video when he zooms out this huge round-about in Berlin.

This will be great! I feel a little bit limited with only zooming in and out.
Thanks for the reply.

You can rotate the camera in the beta. Use arrow keys. It does feel semi-fixed, though, because it has several degrees of freedom and several angle positions between which it can switch, but no free-flight.

I think the author means the postcard view you see on many screenies and in trailers.

Yes, exactly.
Maybe some of the developers should answer?

Again I will raise this question - do we have the option to tilt the camera on different angle?
If we can't how all of these screenshots are made?
Please someone from the developers answer.
Thank you!

The camera view you can see on some of the videos and screenshots is just for that, taking cool pics. The game hasn't been designed for that kind of camera angle, unfortunately. We have special tricks to get the screenshots

 

[ACEH]

Yeah, I suspected that, but was indebted to ask
So you want share these tricks with us?

Maybe, just maybe, the tricks are still in the beta files but just commented out. There are quite some things that are commented out.

They had a ingame 'console' also (pressing F7), but it is not working. I was hoping for the console so i can enable freedom camera ingame. I think it is not hard to implement this.

 

[stevebone]

some scripts are missing
fox example console\commands.script

Must be something like the debug camera of the Total War games

But it is understandable this camera-position can't be selected as it either makes it difficult to watch the roads when closed up (due to the angel) or would be too stranious on your hardware because too much is going on in one screen. Still.....it looks awesome and it would be great to see this on my screen when playing.
