Perspective

[Trigunner]

So heres the deal i think that when your in a vehicle you should be able to toggle between 1st and 3rd person views but when youre not in a vehicle you should be resricted to 1st person. If you arent able to use 3rd person as infantry then that will stop people from using the camera to see around corners without putting themselves in danger.

just a thought.

I haven't seen any 'third person' angle screenshots yet, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

I honestly have no problem with using camera angles to your advantage, 'if it's there - use it' I say.

Don't forget, this is an FPS-game (First Person Shooter). I would be surprised if there were any 3rd person view in Huxley. But to be honest I wouldn't mind having 3rd person view from inside the vehicles.

I bet there is a third person view for vehicles and I forget where I heard this but you might will be able to go into 3rd person in towns.(not completly sure if true or not but I wouldnt be surprised if it was like that)

I think in the E3 video the town he was in was first person, then he switched to third?

I can't recall - but that sounds right.

Ya that is what it looked like to me as well. I like third person the most but am fine with first especially for this game!!!!

[prjngl]

I like first person the most overall, but I'd feel extremely limited if vehicle perspective was limited to first person... I do think that there is that problem with people being able to look around corners while in the third person, so I'd hope for first person only, to be fair and balanced, but I don't see it being as big of a problem as that may be in other games - it depends on whether or not the play will be as fast as I hope it is... so like, if it's Quake fast, i don't really mind what perspectives are available, as long as of course first is an option.. but if it's CS or Battlefield fast, then I'd be a little uneasy playing with people that might be able to, say, see me before I see them, simply because of a perspective setting (this being because I happen to like first person and pretty much can't play viewing in the third person)

theres some third person action in this video, it starts at 1:23

cant post i dont have 10 posts but check out the huxley vids on this site.

but ya i town i dont care, it would be kinda cool to be in third. Pve would even be fine to have a third person view. but no 3rd person in PVP

wait... was that an edit by a mod?

[grim22x7]

pretty sure i saw some third person play going on. I don't think it would be that big of a deal once you got used to it, I think SWBF2 used third person mode It wasn't very difficult to use.

nope no mod that was me. i guess its coded into the forum that you cant put a link in your post until you have a least 10 posts. i had a link there but i had to take to out to submit the post.

and as for the comment on battlefront 2, its not that im afriad it will be hard to use. im afraid that no one will ever be able to hide behind a corner ever again becuase if you position your character correctly in third person view you can see around corners by camera angle whithout your avatar being exposed.

[Corbs]

Pure speculation, but I doubt we'll be restricted to the 1st person view. Other than for driving vehicules, the 3rd person view is pretty useless...

[xer011]

like battlefield?

[Untamed98]

I really hope they put in 3rd person for driving vehicles ( I hate driving in 1st person ) The rest should be 3rd person.

[Grind]

I like how Battlefield does it. You can switch to a bunch of different views in vehicles (1st and 3rd person included) but you can only be in 1st person as infantry.

I actually wouldn't mind too much if they had 3rd person for infantry because the game should be faced passed enough and have a game style that doesn't really promote waiting behind a corner and shooting at someone who walks by.

You would probobly end up sitting there...and suddenly someone would fly by shooting missles at you like crazy. So it probobly wouldn't matter.

However I would like to see it limited to 1st person while playing as infantry just because in those cases were you are trying to be a little sneaky, it's not really fair if someone can just kind of spin their character around and see over walls, around corners and into whatever spaces you normally couldn't see behind.

[Ghos7]

In my opinion, there should be third person, but it should be a lot less effective than first person with infantry, and it takes some time to change between them, so people don't use it one second to look behind corners, and another to change back and shoot them.

[Grind]

I would say that they should take off the cross hairs when in 3rd person, but if they had a 3rd person at all while on the battlefield, i'm sure there would be people who would want to use it to fight all the time.

So I guess they pretty much just have to choose, either have a 3rd person view or a 1st person view, and we'll just have to get used to the gameplay either way

[Grim_Reaper]

A lot of FPS's have third person driving. I don't know why this would be any different...
