Request: Please consider adding a fixed, wide-angle camera view at a medium eye level
I've been thinking about posting this since ZP2 was released, not sure why I waited so long.. but anyway here it is:
I think it would be very helpful to have another wide-angle fixed camera view at more of a medium eye level. That would be about halfway between the angles in camera view 1W (low) and 2 (very high), maybe slightly closer to 1W than to 2. It seems like there is quite a gap between those two angles that a middle option would fill nicely.
I personally would prefer playing with a fixed view camera that was more like the angle that an average person standing behind a real life machine creates. I feel like 1W is just a little lower than I'm comfortable with (along with its non-wide-angle counterparts 1/4/7), like its the view of someone hunched down behind the flippers at a real table - just peeking over the edge. Then there's view 2 that does a great job of showing the whole table but feels a little too "top-down" for me to be comfortable with.
I think that this medium angle I'm asking for would be pretty close to what camera view 5 or 6 currently have, except not zoomed in of course. The problem I have with those views is that I don't like having the camera pan away from the flippers - because I always end up losing balls as the flippers just come into view as the ball goes by (I have a hard time lining up my slap-saves when the flippers aren't in view the whole time). However I can definitely see how other people could like those views a lot though, since they are a nice viewing angle when stationary.
The great thing about adding another fixed view is that it could potentially benefit a lot of people that use the smart-view camera angles because they all need a fixed view during multiball. I'm sure there's some people out there using view 5 or 6 that would like a similar angle to be available for multiball.
You might ask how I know I personally would like this new angle better? Well, its because that view is something that's available in one of your competitor's games and I like it quite a bit (although it is more than offset by other things I don't like in their games as much as yours of course). So that's another benefit - one more thing to make your game superior to the competition's.
So tell me what you think - am I just being too picky or does this sound like something that would be beneficial to a lot of players?
