Camera Control - Soul Reaver 2 - Legacy of Kain: The Lost Worlds

Camera Control

These are cheat device codes which I discovered while experimenting with The Full Ring Menu. They can be used to create the sort of custom screenshots that often show up in promotional material but are difficult to achieve in-game. The Soul Reaver 2 Trainer allows the same effect in the PC version of the game, making it possible to take custom screenshots for use as e.g. wallpaper. This is especially effective in combination with altering the projection distance, which has the same effect as using different focal length lenses would with a camera in the real world (with one exception being that the virtual "camera lens" has an unlimited depth of field).

The "Freeze All Action" effect literally freezes everything in the game world (other than the camera). Characters, monsters, projectiles, everything is stopped dead in its tracks. This works in both the playable and cinematic sections of the game.

The "Toggle HUD" option allows you to prevent the user interface (Raziel's health spiral, the Reaver indicator, and so forth) from being drawn. This allows for more cinematic screenshots while outside of cinematics.

There are two camera modes available - "Follow" and "Free". "Follow" is the standard floating follow-cam used in the playable parts of the game. "Free" detaches the controller from Raziel and instead allows the camera to be manually repositioned.

These codes are also useful for exploring the visual tricks used in the cinematic sequences. For example, in the cinematic where Kain pulls the Reaver from Raziel, if the action is frozen and the camera moved about, it is revealed that Kain is floating over Raziel with his legs quite distorted.

Code	Controls
Freeze All Action	L1+L2+R1+R2+Triangle = On / L1+L2+R1+R2+Square = Off
Toggle HUD	L1+L2+R1+R2+Up = On / L1+L2+R1+R2+Down = Off
Switch Camera Modes	L1+L2+R1+R2+Circle = Free / L1+L2+R1+R2+X = Follow

Notes:

You must use the Master Code from Codes (Playstation 2 Cheat Device) in order for these codes to work.
These codes are only for the Action Replay and GameShark 2. Codebreaker 2 versions of these codes are available on the CMGSCCC website. Users of other cheat devices will need to use kpdavatar's code converter.

As with any cheat device codes, please be aware that using these can result in problems with gameplay. Do not save your game unless you're willing to accept the potential consequence of having to start over from the beginning.
