Folklore

[[Gabriel88]]

I was excited about this game, until I played the demo. The game appears to be a good one, but I can no longer support games with inflexible interface designs. I'm a computer science major, and one of the golden rules of interface design is Flexibility. For my taste, the camera controls are completely backwards. When I look up, my view goes into the ground. When I look right, the view shifts to the left. Not allowing the player to correct the x- and y-axes is an odd imposition. In the past, I've tried to think backwards in order to play a game (Final Fantasy XII comes to mind) but unfortunately I get terrible headaches from the strain.

I wish the game well and I hope it receives its share of success. It's too bad for me that I don't know how to think backwards.

It's just an inverted camera, and yes, I find it annoying too. Hopefully there will be the option to change the camera settings.

I'm having big problems with the camera too, i really hope they put in INVERTED CAMERA in the full version, both UP/DOWN + LEFT/RIGHT.

I allways played inverted, and i can't get used to "normal" camera..

This is a bit odd, as although I've played and beaten both of the different demo's, with both of the available characters, I didn't even notice the camera was back to front. I'll have to check that on the next time I fire up the demo. The game's great anyway, so it doesn't bother me. The only games which I can't play with inverted controls are games like first person shooters, halo and Warhawk. Inverted controls usually get on my nerves, but with rpg's and certain action/adventure games, it doesn't seem to bother me for some reason. Ah well. Try not to let the controls for the camera put you off, as I'm pretty certain behind Folklore's few flaws, you're likely to experience a magically fulfilled adventure with a very good plot behind it. The official site is up now too, though nothing is really click-able at the minute: www.folklore-game.com Anyway, the PS3 is lacking in titles at the minute, so you may as well get Folklore. It looks great, and most certainly plays well. The folk attack system seems simple enough to use, and could go into quite a lot of depth with over 100 folk at your disposal. It's probably quite strategic too.

your prayers have been answered.

in the full version all you need to do is press start and go to the system tab to invert the controls. invert vertical and invert horizontal are separate options.

oh, by the way, the MC gauge now recharges constantly while youre not using a folk instead of fully recharging after a set time. removes that annoying "OMG RUN AWAYYYYY" bit while you wait for energy.

It was a relief that I could change the camera settings, but I wish you could control the camera in Doolin and other sections as it's a bit irritating; but other than that I don't really have any problems with the camera.

i wish i couldve just edited my post
