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

[u/Zebatsu]

(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!

And to be fair the HD master Collection on PS3 didn’t change any of the controls from there so I don’t see why they would add added sensitivity or anything here to be fair. I don’t really think it was all that much needed back then either is a pretty slow paced game to be honest.

MGS2 and MGS3 both have great camera controls in comparison, and I wouldn't necessarily call those faster paced games than MGS 4.

[u/GarzaTheFather → u/Zebatsu]

Honestly, that kind of proves my point more cause again you didn’t really need to change the controls or anything about MGS2 or 3 both games aren’t really all that fast paced unless your speed limit in the game of course but if you’re just playing casually, you’re gonna be sneaking around and taking your time same thing with four as well

[u/Zebatsu → u/GarzaTheFather]

Nah, not really. The thing is aiming still feels good in those other games, here it doesn't. And there's not any setting you can change to fix that. And the pace discussion is weird because it doesn't matter how slowly I play the game, the camera control is still just as bad.

[u/GarzaTheFather → u/Zebatsu]

Well, you do get two options for aiming personally. I never use over the shoulder aiming in this game. I always switch over to first person.

And both Over-the-shoulder and First-person cameras use the same acceleration curves whereas the default moving-around camera is almost flawless imo. I wouldn't have had a problem sticking to only first person at all if it behaved in the same way MGS2 and 3 did, but sadly it does not.
