  • TGC cool camera idea

    Here's a cool camera idea. Currently, with the follow ball camera on, after the ball is launched, we see the ball flight from a static camera. Then the follow ball camera takes over. This works good. But with the follow ball camera off, after the ball is launched, we actually get a pretty cool view of the ball flight from the same camera on the tee. The difference this time is that the camera from the tee will also move up, keeping the ball flight in view. The downside of course is we don't get to see where the ball lands.

    Please look at these videos:

    This is with follow camera on. Take a look at the second shot. You will see where the static tee camera looses site of the ball flight.


    This one is with follow camera off. Notice how the camera keeps the ball flight in view, especially on the last shot at around 2:20 mark.


    Pc and consoles folks also prefer to play with the follow camera off. But for them, they can hit a button on their controller anytime during the ball flight to activate the follow ball camera, which allows them see where the ball lands. This gives them the best of both views. We obviously can't do this but HB should be able to make the follow ball come on automatically for us very easily, when the follow ball camera is selected off.

    Here's what I'm thinking: For the 2/3 of the ball flight, we get the view from the tee where the camera will tilt up and keep the ball in view(follow camera off selected). Then for the last 1/3 of the ball flight, the follow ball camera is automatically activated and we see a close up of the ball landing.


    This would be perfect!

    Nice videos. I like the idea. I might even suggest you see 2/3 of ballflight from the tee view and then have that follow cam turn on to finish it off.

      Yeah, 2/3 sounds a bit better. The ball chase cam always seemed to switch too soon so you couldn't really get a feel for ball flight from the golfers perspective. I use the fixed tracking in RedChain because it feels more real to me. There are times when I can't see the ball land which kinda sucks but it's like that IRL too. I think it would be cool to have a cam that works like fixed tracking and then does a replay of the incoming shot. This might slow down play a bit though.

        Like this idea for cam view at 2/3. i think very similar to your opponents cam view currently in the game. I messed with all the cam's and couldn't get this view for me. I don't like the cutover to different cam either. Today i hit over a par 3 green and cam cut over to ball sailing over back edge - so i lost the view of ball going up and over the hole.

        If you notice at 3:20 or so in zmax and bubba22's match. Bubba cam view has follow but never loses the flight.

          Yes, we will request it to come on at 2/3 of ball flight.
