Dear Team17,
Please, is-it possible to change the camera view, to return like old Alien Breed 2D games ? (most top view)
If yes, I'm so bad that I can't find how ... :p
Else, it's in my wish list. PLEASE !!!!! :)

Now that's a good idea.

Whenever optional activated on the screen option. Like when it came out so retro or enhanced mode of early arcade games.
The options are good, with no option changes are not good.
A greeting.
Spanish original text:
Siempre que sea opcional activandolo en la pantalla de optiones. Como cuando salio lo de modo retro o modo mejorado del principio de los arcades.
Las opciones son buenas, los cambios sin opcion no son buenos.
Un saludo

2D top view was ok at the time, but nowadays it might be a step back. I think the game's came creates blind spots wich ain't nice but still you got the rotation feature.
It works for me as it's been done but it could be implemented like wanako games (sierra online) did with arkadian warriors just using the bumpers instead of the R stick and holding both to swap vertical angle.
Since I don't see this as a remake (beefed up graphics, same content) I can't see the point on doing the retro stile warping in and out of, let's say, the latest R-Type arcade release since there'd be the need of creating 2D graphics versions of the already done in 3D on purpose for this.
I REALLY hope so see a post from team 17 announcing a bit of what things will be improved in the next release and whatnot since they got a nice amount of feedback by now and users would like to hear back.
Cheers

It's just mean to change the camera view by settings. (new/old)
I'm sure that is a good option, because turning and turning camera is not a nice gameplay feature.
