Quantum boosting has a lot of potential for fun exploration and travel, but the shake seems very intense. Are there already conversations internally around reducing the amount of camera shake, or will there be an option in the menu to reduce this?
Yogi Klatt · Principal Vehicle Programmer

Yeah. So in general, when you see something in a demo like we did, or the thing that I started doing when I'm creating any kind of material for demos, I'm exaggerating the effects, because it's always easier starting small and then getting the max strength feel right, and then have somebody come in and tweak it down, than the other way around. For example, other effects like the zoom when you do a G-force boost or something like that, somebody just turned it off, although we had this in for ages. So that's the bottom line. These effects are really strong. And for quantum boosting, I don't think we actually did a shake pass. I mean, maybe we did a shake pass. But in general, it's likely that it is too strong and that we will dial it down. There's this other question about whether you should be able to turn it off or not. In Squadron 42, yes, you can basically turn this all off. There is this discussion whether or not that should be possible, because once you disable things like G-force effects or things like camera shake and so on, you also have much more stable aiming, an aiming image in front of you, right? So we need to discuss that. I'm not sure if other games, other PvP games like Counter-Strike, actually allow you to turn off camera shake. I think this needs to be discussed internally. So I cannot definitely say, yes, we can all turn it off. I don't know that. That's not up to me. That's a director-level decision.

And of course, when you talk about it might have had a camera shake pass, it could have had a shake pass by somebody who can ride 15 roller coasters back to back to back. Meanwhile, my poor self can't do two minutes of VR without wanting to throw up.

I mean, one of the most fun things that I did to Bayer at some point was let him test the camera system, the first pass of the G-force systems, and he really got sick from that, because he's getting really motion sick, which is, well, I'm sad for him. So I get it, there's an accessibility issue, but I cannot give definitive answers there. But the issue is known, and we'll talk about this in time before we move it over.
