Has anyone noticed that in the later "My Plaything" titles (e.g. Krystal Steal, Carmen Luvana), that the camera now pans during sex scenes such as missionary? I personally liked the old "style" better, where the camera was stationary on top of the girl and you, the viewer, are able to view her entire head and body. Now the camera pans from her head to her tits to her abs to her pussy being banged. What do you all think about this?
Last week, after a rare, fruitless search through my local smut shop, sent me to browse across the aisles to the bins "less traveled," I came across the seemingly popular,"My Plaything" selections, and decided on trying Carmen Luvana's virtual DVD offering.
Considering the only thing "virtual" I found about it, was virtually nothing remarkably different between it and the other two interactive products I've seen to date, it would appear the industry has already come and gone from the doorstep of these interactive products. If they havent yet, I would expect a complete lack of creative direction, that might otherwise at least hint at its potential, will soon spell its doom.
The one thing in Carmen's My Plaything that did catch my eye, was the direct attention I received from Carmen from the viewers perspective, but if I'm not mistaken, mainstream porn has somthing like that now, I think they call em "POVs".
Actually, I stand corrected. The interactive community of developers "have" stepped up with somthing uniquely virtual, and worthy of note, in having brought about "Virtual Cumshots", or "fake" if you prefer. Unfortunately for me however, Carmen Luvana turned out to be one talented "virtual" cum dodger!
Oh well, maybe I'll check back for the sequel, when Carmen meets up with Roger Rabbit.

Amen, tdb. I love seeing her beautiful face AND the action at the same time. And it's not only the panning problem -- you can't adjust playing speed or zoom on the later ones, like I can with my old Jewel DeNyle "Plaything." Sometimes, when the action/camera angle is just right, I like to slow it down for, er, study.
I've rented the Sylvia Saint and Carmen Luvana (later) editions, but wouldn't waste the extra $ on owning them.
Panning shouldn't be panned. It's a nice feature that gives us more of a show. I can't bring myself to hate it, or even have much of a reaction to it at all. It's not a big deal.

Monkey Power, it is certainly within your purview to support panning.
I likewise affirm that I want to see what I want to see, not only what the cameraman or editor wants me to see.
The panning technique allows no option for us viewers who want to see her face and the action simultaneously. And my reading of other forums and threads tells me that there are more than a few of us who want that option.
