The latest trailer for Creative Assembly's console RTS title Stormrise shows off the game's "line of sight" camera view, which allows players to view battles from an almost third-persony angle.

Stormrise is set for release on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in March.

Dawn of War II can do this, but you have to manually adjust the angle.

Looks fucking awesome.

    Hold down Alt while moving the mouse. Backspace resets the camera to default. : Derringer
    - Thanks, I will try this tonight. : jigstah
    - Interesting - ill have to try that. : bolneze
- It's to be expected, since the original dow had this and also pretty much every 3D PC RTS. : mizeriq

Can we get some witty commentary from our editors on this kind of trash?

Pretty sure this has been in nearly every 3d PC RTS released to date, and in the EA RTS' CnC3 / RA3, BFME1/2.

It looks terrible - and 9/10 gamers will never use those angles given the macro management required in a game such as this.

Now - if there's a nifty replay system built into the game (which I would expect from a PC title - but who knows with console releases) then this is interesting - otherwise it's retarded marketing propaganda that has little input on how fun a game is.

Wow this is such a simple concept - I can't believe that they think it is so ground-breaking?

So they attach the camera to one of your units...is this really that revolutionary?
