KILL CAM EXPLAINED ?

Post » Tue May 10, 2011 3:40 pm

Hi to everyone...

Can someone explain me the differences between "CINEMATIC" & "PLAYER VIEW" regarding the KILL CAM ??

I Liked The one used in Fallout 3 , (the camera followed the head of the dead enemy...) :D

I've tried to search on the net , but i'm a little bit confused about the two modes....

Thanks in advance..!!

Best...

Cinematic is like the one from VATS on fallout 3. But in real-time.

Player view is basically a slow mo cam. Very useful for sniping.

Thanks for the reply , so the cinematic one is the most "spectacular" & "Goriest" ?? Correct me if i'm wrong...

Thanks again...

PS: did you know where i can find videos to compare the two modes ??

Yes about the gory part. Although it does get rather annoying after awhile.

Not sure on the videos though.

CINEMATIC = Annoying

PLAYER VIEW = Quasi-cheat mode with the random bullet time.

I think there both annoying quite frankly., but how is player view quasi cheating the cam is only supposed to activate when the last enemy in a group dies.

At distance sneak attack sniping it'll kick in on the first kill. Lining up, and killing, other targets when it's on becomes extremely easy with weapons like the Trail Carbine or All-American.

Agreed.

Even now, post-patch, you can see the game struggling & trying to freeze.

I find the Cinematic Mode to be the most annoying and disruptive of immersion and gameplay—especially if you have companions. No matter what you are doing (lining up a kill-shot or fending off a small hoard) if a companion makes a kill off in another room or on the other side of a hill you are abruptly yanked away to watch their kill. When you return you are facing in a completely different direction and possibly about to be massacred.

The player view is only slightly less annoying as slo-mo levity ensues. At least it doesn't jerk you around.

like many other "Helpful Settings" in the game it's best set to "OFF."

BLAM

and a big horner head exploding.

Was not cool.

This. I hate that frogging camera.

Example: I was running through the area around Jacobstown, when Boon saw a mantis about half a mile away. Not being one to let such an immediate threat go by (:rolleyes:), he pops it, and triggers the Killcam. Killcam ends, I'm facing an entirely different direction, and promptly run off a cliff. SPLAT.

I turned them off when it got me killed. I shot a small rad scorpion and a giant scorpion came up a stabbed me 2 times and I was dead. dieing stuck in cinematic view makes one hate it.
