Camera control screen shots

That's a very good question...if I had to guess I'd say those were mocked-up screens custom created by the dev team and given to IGN for publicity. I wouldn't bet on a camera control function being included in game ;o

Nvidia Ansel support would be cool!

I know some SFV modders use cheat engine to pause the game and reposition cameras and what not.

So maybe that could be a thing.

I would love that option on Switch!

I might be going against the flow here, but I would prefer no camera controls personally.

Cale Just out of curiosity, why not? We're not talking about anything that would alter gameplay, but rather just be used to set up screenshots. I genuinely cannot see any reasoning against such a feature other than it taking up dev time, but that isn't really an argument against the feature itself.

m0nkf15h That's not what "bullshots" means. Promotional in-engine screenshots using a camera angle you won't be playing at isn't deceptive; it's just marketing. "Bullshots" are when the developer/publisher pushes a game's technical details beyond a point that can actually be supported on the platforms the game will be sold on. Calling a simple perspective change a "bullshot" both does a disservice to the developers and waters down the term for times when it's used to call out actual deceptive practices that need to have attention brought to them.

m0nkf15h I don't think too many people are going to expect and/or remember these camera angles in any case.

It's not what I'd call "deception" if the character/enemy models and background designs shown are still basically going to be the same [and what the final game's going to look like], regardless of camera angle.

Angel-Corlux It might be standard practice across the industry to do this kind of thing these days, but speaking as the kind of person who's been living under a rock since the 90's i'm not used to it. I'm certainly not trying to "crank the dial" to anywhere nor am I attacking the dev team or calling anyone a liar. I'm just old fashioned in my outlook. I get the feeling you're personally offended by my comments if so then i'm sorry, I'm not trying to make your life harder or your job more difficult, I want Bloodstained to be as successful as it can be which is why i raised certain other concerns that you elude to. I don't know what's routine in the industry these days because i don't engage with it, "promotional shots" didnt really exist the last time i picked up a gaming magazine, you're lucky if you got a screengrab from the pre-release alpha of something back in those days (or worse completely faked screenshots made by whatever mag is doing a preview) so when i see something with wildly different camera from what i'm expecting i'm going to be suspicious of it in a way that a lot of other people probably arent because they engage with modern media and are used to seeing this kind of thing even if it's not necessarily going to be an in game feature.
