May have been reported already, and I’m sorry if it has, but not all media playing devices allow you to see the game being played. Not to mention I can’t find a way to set the position for where your camera is forced to sit when you are gaming. But In cases like the theater screen or the projector, the player’s camera is tossed across the map or behind the display, leaving the player with no idea what is on the screen and preventing them from being able to play. Not to mention the projector doesn’t seem to project anything at all.
Note: The Theater screen also has a noticeable strange reflection issue even inside a dark room (as shown in media), but that is another issue specific to that screen
Steps to Reproduce
- Purchase both a emulator console and a Theater screen or a projector at the Toy Store
- Load into one of your owned condos
- Place down both the console and the theater screen/projector in an accessible and visible location near each other (Projector will require a surface to project on)
- Edit the Console to choose a game that is already in your Roms folders
- Start playing said game
What I expected to happen
The camera should always be placed near the screen in a visible position and orientation to the display.
What happened
Theater Screen: The player’s camera is placed behind the screen on the wrong side of the display
Projector: The Player’s camera is placed elsewhere on the map, no where near the screen.
Suggested fixes
- Change default location and orientation of the camera when activating the console to play
- Give the Player the ability to change their viewpos for when the console is activated. Either in menu or via key bindings while connected to the console. (Use the same system that you have in place for when talking to custom NPCs)
