Cinematic cameras have never really worked in other Rockstar games. Unless you're in the passenger seat of your friend's car in GTA Online - in which case the feature is safe to use - you'll find yourself crashing into obstacles left, right and centre, should you accidentally hit the button that switches perspective your car's front right tyre.

In any case, it's great that Rockstar haven't abandoned the camera, especially now that they've got the perfect setting in which to use it. Westerns have long been famed for their stunning vistas, experimental cinematic techniques and superb cinematography, so what better way to pay tribute to that than by giving players the option to frame the Old West just the way they want to?

Rockstar's games have always been uniquely cinematic, particularly with regards to storytelling and cutscenes, but giving players control over the camera in a title of relatively slower pace is sure to garner plaudits come October 26th.
