Moving the camera at a snail's pace does help to a certain degree. But then that harkens back to the issues I mentioned about combat and situational awareness. Basically if I'll be playing this game, I'll be finishing it about a year after everyone else. lol
I never managed to convince some of my FPS-friends to try out Witcher 3, but when I said Cyberpunk was going to be FPP they were all hyped as hell so I think it works both ways. I think TPP only-gamers make up a smaller part of the market than you think and the ones they lose will be gained from others who practically only play FPP games.
But when you are looking yourself in the mirror obviously they are standing like a statue, in FP or TP it doesn't matter.
In FP perspective you are also doing stuff you know.
So what you're saying is that cutting loose their original, core fanbase is an "acceptable loss."
Bear in mind that plenty of people also didn't play The Witcher 3 because it was a medieval fantasy game, and would also be interested in Cyberpunk 2077 because it's a sci-fi game.
I agree, medicating should be a last resort. But I wonder if it's something that you could train yourself to resist? Kind of like how you can train your balance just by practicing balancing, perhaps one could gradually acclimate themselves to playing in first person. I don't know what exactly a training regiment would look like though, maybe just gradually doing longer and longer sessions? I think the max you'd ever need is two hours anyway, as it's good for anyone to take a break after that long of a gaming session.
Like I said, cheating so that I can stop to reorient myself any time I want seems about the best bet I have at this point.
I doubt this will hurt sales if the game is good. If it delivers a great story and great gameplay, it will sell very well
Nonsense, it doesn't need any more comments.
It does mean, however, that if 90% of your fanbase expects a third person, you should AT LEAST give the option. Because that would be the largest part of the market you aim at.
No, i said FIRST PERSON RPGS are a niche market. Wanna check deus ex sales and compare them to those of, say, Mass Effect?
Most people play rpgs for the lore, the setting and the story, NOT THE GAMEPLAY. Gameplay is a bonus, if any. And thus, they prefer a more cinematic perspective. And that is a fact.
Yeah it is acceptable loss. This is why not doing it with Witcher series they creating game with new IP. And how they would know if allot of original core fanbase ar not just into fanstasy and dont like sci-fy, steam punk, etc.?
And sorry i am a person who want to create games if i had a possibility. And sorry i would want to make lots of games with lot off styles, genres etc so i can relate to them wanting do something new
There's no way that one third of the world has that kind of problem, especially when a thread complaining about FPP on an RPG-developers forum only manages to muster 8%.
Well, we will see if sales will or won't be hurt, won't we?
And yes, it will probably sell very well, but it could have been much better.
Okay dude, if you thought that this was going to be a futuristic Witcher then you obviously were expecting to be dissapointed because this, since the beginning, was not going to be a futuristic Witcher.
Don't care what you think it is or it is not possible, there are medical researches about it, and they were linked to this topic several pages ago.
