Annon-Guy: Model Viewer - I know Digital Figure let's you view the characters, but what do you think of a full on Model Viewer like in Marvel VS Capcom 3, where you can view the character's in-game model in full animated view?
I've talked about "Camera Mods" before, and while they reveal a truckload of information on 3D models and stages, they also somewhat tear down the mystique of the environment (especially for underdeveloped sections of the game).
Just because the "front side" of a model looks good doesn't necessarily mean the "back side" will look just as complete (which can be the source of Nightmare fuel at times).
In terms of Guilty Gear Strive, if I had my 'druthers: I would like for them to implement a "smart dynamic camera" that can be set up in ways that make everything you do in the fighting game "look as great as you want it to".
An example of dynamic camera work is Soul Calibur VI. Ā The game basically sets Player 1 at an isometric angle instead of "front on", but the camera adjusts to other things, like combo launches, massive counter-hits, dynamic clashes (Reversal Edge).
When I first saw Sol Badguy do his Volcanic Viper as a massive counter-hit from a "low camera angle".... I knew the potential for such a thing was limitless.
I know some have reported feeling queasy/seasick during the stage transitions because of the way the camera pans, but I still liked the way the camera worked.
If the game has extra-dynamic camera options.... I would sincerely appreciate those.
