FPP/TPP Perspective Thread OPEN. Be NICE.

Don't get me wrong, quality animations during movement or combat can go a long way of enhancing the experience, especially in heavily directed scenes such as dialogue or cutscene, I just doubt the benefits, the 'need' to animate any and all interactive moments.

The Deus Ex example is a fitting one since it has some contextual animations but dosen't bog you down in them. Especially since in immersive sims the environments are highly interactive and reactive; trying to animate Jensen picking up an item through the grates of a vent is bound to seem ridiculous no matter which way you go about it, whithout extensive work on something so contextual. So as far as I sims go, their focus should be spent elsewhere IMO.

yeah, that's too much, not asking for that unless for scripted events. The secret is not to put objects in a way it's difficult to animate: weapons on the ground/table/shelf instead of chests or drawers, buttons for elevators or doors are easy to do, stuff like that.

I posted this millions of times

I hope they do, it's I-Sim 101

Atomic Hearts looks awesome BTW. Really hope it delivers.

Beside even Atomic Hearts suffer from Your-eyes-on-your-chest problem.

Idk, from that video image with the 'droid', the character is either really tall or the camera is just about where the 'eyes' would be.

To me FPP is more "your hands are growing out of your neck" and less "your eyes are in your chest"

In the latest trailer there was some snippets of character walking in 3rd person mode so is it a option or not?

The video was a cinematic trailer -- not a gameplay demo. That was pre-rendered CGI. It was not gameplay.

I do not mean that one, there was 2 trailers, one with cinematic goodness, and other with "actual" gameplay

in around 6:45

That's your character looking at Jackie's back (your companion) from a first person perspective.

So no. No third person view.

 

[SigilFey]

^ Yup.

Those two shots are your character following another character.

It's not Jackie but otherwise you are correct.

I love that CDPR went FP, TP combat is awful and its always cover based. This was the right decision.

On the other hand, FPP combat is always simple FPS (inspite of suggested genre).

It wouldn’t have to be, there are options, but it is.

The perspective isn’t a problem. The chosen design on top of it is.

FPS can be hard, have you tried playing Wolfenstein on the harder difficulties?

 

[kofeiiniturpa]

Sure, they can. But difficulty is a separate issue.

No, I haven’t played any of the newer Wolfensteins, but I did play the original back in the day.

You say that like is combats = shooting thing.
There's melee too. And there's reasons why most melee based games choose to go TPP.

You should they are great. But I understand what you mean you just stand and shoot. but im sure CDPR will come up with creative ways of making things interesting and creative. I love FPS boss fights.

you can still do melee in FPP but sure its not as good as TPP but realistically this is a game where you shoot things. its not an era of sword fighting. regardless i think its the right decision i just wished we would have more options to go TPP but combat switched to FPP.

You express an opinion here, not universal thruth.

I should hope so, for the sake of the game feeling like an RPG. The last years demo left a metric ton to hope for in that regard.
