yet you requested a new roof cam...which i don't use...I wouldn't argue against the inclusion of an "improved" roof cam just because i don't use it...so why argue against an improved chase cam?
No I requested a proper hood cam. All racing games should have this and most do but GT has a roof cam instead which is not as good as a proper hood cam would be.
1. you're completely missing the point..its not asked for simply so you can spin the camera around in circles...obviously a poor choice...
What people want it for is: 1. that its just plain better looking than going from chase cam while driving, then when you look around you lose the view of your car and 2. It gives you a nice 360 degree view of the track instead of just in 90 degree increments as GT does now...
I'm not arguing against a chase cam. I just said that the 360 rotation does not need to be there, does not serve any real purpose. Chase cam does need to be there and if they can improve it that is fine. I know a lot of people who use it, all controller users but that is what they like and it needs to be there for sure.
also...you argue against the chase cam's "realism" yet again you want a new roof cam?...
Again I said "Hood" cam. I am not asking to drive from the roof nor peer out the sunroof of the car.
What I would like to see is a view that shows you looking out over the hood of the car like the one that Forza does have and I use. I do not like cokpit view because the view is to restricted. you see far to much roof, to much dash and to much drivers door/window yet you do not see the hood of the car. When I drive a real car my view is unobstructed by the roof and I only see the instrument panel when I look down slightly. When looking straight ahead I see the hood of my car [on most cars] and the road ahead. I do not see my hands on the steering wheel and my view of my roof is not = to my view of the road ahead.
So IMO a proper hood view [or should I say Bonnet view] is closer to what I would really see while driving than the cockpit view which is more like riding in the back seat.
1. i use chase cam with a wheel
Really? I would think you would be a rare exception then. I know people who drove chase view for years but within a week of getting a wheel they stopped because they were much more comfortable in any view other than that one and thier driving improved quite a bit.
2. with the Forza chase cam you can "flick into it" and hear the sound from the back, from the front, from the sides whatever...or "get a quick view" of your car from ANY angle instead of just the back...
Ok, I have never saw a reason to want to do this while driving.
did you get into the back of the car in front of you during the last corner? want to check any damage? you can with the 360 degree chase cam...
Isn't that what the damage display is for? I would think that would tell you much better than looking at the visual damage and have the added benefit of still being able to see where you are going.
3. its really not any less awkward than the cockpit view which so many people love...i mean with my wheel in front of me...then seeing a SECOND wheel with 2 more hands on my screen...awkward?
I agree that the cockpit view is awkward, I do not like the wheel on the screen either just odd to see that and those animated hands while my own hands are on the wheel in front of me. Still chase view is much more awkward than any other view. I guess you could get used to it but it really is nothing like driving an actual car. Your view is restricted by the car the corner ahead is both farther ahead of you and partially blocked by your car, very much so if you are using a van or SUV. Also most people tend to over correct when using a wheel from this view when the car starts to get loose.
