WOW!

By Teal_Blue Posted November 8, 2009 7:54:56 PM

Hi,

          I would like to say, even after playing for a year, which makes me feel sorta dense, because i didnt try it and didnt know about it and had no clue, that the User Inface Menu, that lists Camera Enable Twist, is FABULOUS!!!   :)   Sorry to yell, its just everything gets turned on its side and it looks, just like, or almost like the real thing, i mean you dont see this kind of thing in games usually, they give you a flat surface. You fight, you move your troops or ships or whatever and thats it, i mean sure sometimes you get like a cool zoom in zoom out, but this is like sooooo cooool.  :)  

I feel sorta dumb for just finding it, haha, but well... thats ok. I got it turned on now, and enjoying every minute.  :)

Take care,

-Teal

Im pretty sure he knew all that, but the Camera Enable Twist option in the UI menu lets you actually twist the camera around, so you can really move the camera around in any way.

For example. If you dont have the option on, you normally see the gravity well of a planet in a horizontal sense. With Enable Twist, you could easily see it in a vertical fashion.

It really is an amazing way to see some battles, but it gets my sense of direction all screwed up so i dont use it very often.

I didnt know about it,  I enabled it and nearly shouted wow too, first time i have felt vertigo on a  game, makes me tremble to imagine watching Sins and 3d depth perception tech.

:)  Pretty cool, huh?   :)  Oh, yes, i knew about zooming and rotating, just not the Camera Enable Twist thing. As NHD-151 said, its pretty awesome.  :)

It is neat for Very Cool Screenshots, but unfortunately, Enable Camera Twist is not very useful for video capture because there is no way to control the newly unlocked axis apart from swinging the camera back and forth.  :-(
