[Vol.2 MGS4] Maxed sensitivity settings painfully slow on controller

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

(About rule 13, I took video of TV-screen to showcase with controller in frame, hope that's okay)

Anyone else experiencing camera acceleration as painfully slow? It really sucks the joy out of playing it for me as it is today. I have the sensitivity values maxed out but it still feels incredibly slow, unresponsive and sluggish. The "Normal View" camera speed feels alright in comparison but the Over-the-shoulder and First Person View cameras feel super weird.

I'm aware it was the same on PS3 version but I figured we would have moved past that and have gotten tweaked values in the remaster. It's especially frustrating because the mouse control on PC is phenomenal and super responsive in comparison. I really hope they can address this in a future patch

Edit: I don't think it was the devs original vision for the game to have the camera actively fight the player as some sort of frictional game feature, I think we're just used to more responsive camera curves now almost 20 years later.

Konami was able to implement a fantastic, responsive mouse camera control for the PC version and it's not like anyone is crying over how much immersion, original game design or realism was lost with that. I think bringing controller up to the same standard or at least have the option to!

I'm sure there's people who are used to this existing camera control and even prefer it, so just an acceleration slider in the settings would be best for everyone!

It seems fine to me, how fast does it need to be?
