How can I mimic a Camera from a game to my project?

Question

Hey everyone!

For the past 2 weeks I've been trying to recreate one of my favourite childhood games in Unity, Ben 10 Protector of Earth.

And it has been a long journey to match exactly the camera settings to make it feel like the original one.

Do you guys have any suggestions of how may I discover/calculate/analyze the original one and mimic it on my Unity project?

If I am too vague here, please question!

Hope you guys can help, bye!

Hi! Interessting Question: Let's analyse this a bit: Before: I do not know or played that game.

It seems like you play the most of the game with a Static Camera which serves in a simple "2d"isch sidescroller. https://i.imgur.com/iFuh1v9.jpg

And then there are these transition Scenes: Where the player changes direction from one "2d"isch direction into another. In this cases, the camera moves not only with the character but on it's own to smoothly transition into the next orientation. https://i.imgur.com/i1B3dEd.jpg

I would souggest to start with a simple character which can move left, right, up and down and is constrainted from it's enviroment. Then I would Implement, other directions of long sections an place a kind of marker which indicates the camera to turn, to match the rotation of the next marker like here: https://youtu.be/lzNzwAqqHPs?t=3699

I think that would represent the jist of the game. Have fun and keep me posted!
