Ya I just checked you can change the camera with R1 L1, I said "limited" camera control for a reason.
Ah. I'm playing it keyboard and mouse so I didn't know that.
Or at least have a cross-section kind of angle to show the penetration happening for scenes where the camera hides that angle. I'm referring to scenes like this:
A small thing on the top right of the screen to show the machine's dildo actually penetrating her vagina would make this scene less boring to look at.
Crossection views are surprisingly mixed in reception.
I'm on the team that likes them, because I like seeing the place that gets penetrated or that feeling of penetration in general, but others feel disgusted at the sight of seeing the "inside" of a body.
In most games, they're usually toggles, and in MMD videos and the like the animators outright create separate versions of their videos with and without them.
Well, there were plenty of people giving more thought of replies than just asking for an unlocked camera. These things tend to get lost in the pile though. There's a lot of posts pointing out problems with suggestions, rather than being solutions they think devs must do.
Yeah that's fair. Maybe I'm just hyper-focusing on the people who think they have the answers... but I can't fault them too hard. They have a feeling something has to be done and are giving their take. I just wish more consumers could actually communicate their desires correctly.
With the whole discussion on NTR (which as I said earlier isn't even what they think is the problem), and the desire for a player controlled camera... I just hope the devs don't get inundated by complaints that don't even get to the core of what the complainers care about.
Well at the end of the day, it's up to the dev to be able to see through this and get to the core of what people REALLY want from them, and if they want to do it anyway.

Regarding whether or not Subverse locks its camera for directing reasons or not...
I think they do.
They framed this scene to only work on this angle. Even the Mantic scenes are framed in a way that the how the character expresses themselves and where exactly the motion are, are the focus.
Plus the actual setting of the ship might not be completely moddeled. Like Kili's 4 person gangbang? Where even are they in that scene? I'm pretty sure they definitely do not want any male faces in any of these scenes because they're not modeling them. I mean... look at the captain. If you have control over the camera you could see his face which isn't work they're gonna do.
Is it good directing? Not really. It's ok, but it's not part of a larger scene, so the camera can't really do much work, and because the scenes don't progress or move in any way like Labyrinth of Estrus, they can't do interesting things on an animation level that improves eroticism.
Honestly? 90% of my issues regarding the scenes themselves directly would be solved if these scenes just had
- Pre-insert. Like the dick is out and not inside the girl
- Insertion. The actual sex movement.
- Creampie. End of sex movement.
And dialogue all the way through to make the scenes more erotic. Hmm... but that's more voice acting work... It's really crucial to setting up a tone and more importantly PACE to these scenes though. If all you get is a 5 second SFM animation the pace of the scenes is nothing. It's done immediately and the scene feels unsatisfying. It's why people don't just look at the CG for the games they like but play the games and see the scenes in the games.
Of course my criticisms about sexual content integration wouldn't change still. I'm just talking about the scenes themselves, not how they integrate into the full game.
But well.. I'm not here for the adult content anyway XD
It's FOW after all. I don't sexually align with them 99% of the time. I'm curious what they'll do next tho. Pretty hyped for the next update.
