3rd person continuation

What if you’re wearing a helmet and it has a design that limits your vision? Going out of first person to have a third person view instead is kind of cheating the system, assuming the helmet shows up to reduce the range you can see.

1P also looks like it’s going to be much more immersive and better for direct combat than 3P anyway.

Never saw this feature before…it’s not going to be there.

We haven’t seen the dog companion yet, yet that feature will be there. :wink:

Ok guys, so.
Imagine that we have the option to play in 1st AND 3rd person,
Explain me WHY it would be problem if YOU play in 1st and if other people who rather play in 3rd and do it ?
I can’t understand you, seriously.
You want to play a game like that, so, ok, we just ask for another option. We do not impose you the 3rd person, no?
so what’s wrong?

If a 3P view option is put into the game I couldn’t care less if people want to use it, provided one thing: what’s put into developing it does not, in any way, detract from the primary 1P quality and experience.

The game is being marketed as a 1P experience with a studio that is small, but planning to expand to 50 or so people. If that means they can devote resources to doing a 3P view and the 1P work continues unaffected, more power to them. But, if it takes away from the development of the 1P view, no thanks.

Everyone who played Day-Z mod or Mount and Blade can tell the difference betwen 1ps 3ps. 3ps is basically cheating. You can peek around corners or lower walls without fear of detection (sneaking difficulty just dropped down to zero). you can see man hidden in grass because of different perspective, in combat you see even what’s behind you.

In 3ps you have to solve camera collisions and expect player to see things from completely different perspective. (more detailed roof textures I guess)

Exactly! It is single player so no one is affected by how others are playing the game. Why then not allow each one to customize the playing stile according to personal preference? I will for sure try this in 1st person although I normally prefer 3rd person and I would like the possibility to change.

Because of this omg…

Game view just matters to game design. Why so many people can’t understand it? I’m sure it’s not first nor last time I had to wrote it.

I will still play the game if it remains 1st person only, but I would really prefer the option to play in 3rd person. I may be wrong, but I can’t imagine it being that big of a development cost in terms of time or resources to implement 3rd person. Textures, animations and whatnot should already be there given the simple fact that you can already see NPCs performing any possible action that your character could perform, and probably wearing anything that your character might wear.

You didn’t read even post above yours did you…

In Kingdom Come the combat system is designed for 1st-person. People seem to forget that when they’re demanding 3rd-person. It can’t just be switched, the controls and movement would be fucked up completely.
This means: it’s easier said than done!

Yeah, well, they denied it multiple times already.
I think and I hope they won’t change all combat related stuff just for a bunch of people because this means tons of extra work. The other thing is, they said before that there is no 3rd-person most of the time, so when making the deal people can’t complain they didn’t know beforehand or were cheated or something.

Oh I read it, I just rejected your premise.

More like ignored ignored completely…

Warhorse, when you open shop PLEASE add a stretch goal to add 3rd person, 1 person is “horrible” to me and so many others.

I respect that some prefer 1 person and feel its better and gives more immersion but not to me, not to all of us. 1 Person just doesn’t do it for me, I don’t feel more immersion at all, to be honest I feel less immersion. When gaming I can’t use all my senses, I don’t have a feeling of height, body, awareness, etc like in real life, and that’s what I get with 3rd person.

Maybe someday with new technologies (VR glasses + camera like Kinect + etc) things change, but right now 1 person just doesn’t do it.

Please consider this, thanks.

Note: to all the people “hating”, this game is not mp and more important, I’m not trying to remove or change 1 person, just trying to add something I like more.

I believe you’re not going to see a 3rd person option unless they significantly change things about the combat system.

It’s not hating, it’s being realistic.

I really like first person, just look at the mechanics behind this technology:

In this type of first person you can’t see your body… In Kingdom Come is proper first person. You can see everything from shoulders to toes. (or verything in reflection I guess) :stuck_out_tongue:

Short version: it’s called Full Body Awareness :stuck_out_tongue:

In Half-Life 2 you just have arms. :smiley:
Maybe this pic is about HL2?
But there was no AK in the game.

For combat all they need to do is move the camera to the back of the player, kinda like aiming in 3 person shooters.

But I’m not worrying about that, they are developers, I’m pretty sure they can figure out several impressive ways in how to include this option.

Warhorse, please? As a stretch goal?

Note: regarding the cameras they’ve showed so far I’m not impressed at all, and I don’t think I’m gonna like them more. Just look at how horse riding looks, what a waste of awesome animations/looks/etc…

EDIT: My opinion is as good as others opinions, same value and same importance, no more, no less. Stretch goals are created to include new things, that’s the point of stretch goals.

There’s no point discussing with you guys because:
-I’m not trying to remove 1 person or make it worst
-You aren’t going to convince me
-I’m not going to convince you

So don’t waste your time with me, I will do the same. My message is directed to Warhorse and to all 3 person fans.

Warhorse, please consider this request, since the minute I’ve seen your game that I felt for it, but one thing is missing. 3 Person for all of us that love it, please try to add a stretch goal for it, I will gladly help you with my money, and so will others.

Thanks!

Warhorse, please? Do NOT add 3rd person as a stretch goal. Stay focused on designing the game the way you want it designed without the pressure of adding anything else in that might delay the release of the game.
