Yeah I guess same thing, different terminology... but yeah... being able to track two (or more) seperate objects on a single layout using a port view for each object/camera.
This would allow for some cool co-op style games, or even being able to do things like track an NPC target using a "viewfinder"... that kind of thing. Even racing games with scrolling layouts for massive track designs would be cool since players would be able to manouver around the track without having to resort to some of the oldschool tactics of appling penalties to the player who is lagging behind, and teleporting them forwards in order to maintain the single screen layout. (If that made any sense at all... I've had 3 hours of sleep so I'm probably not making much)
