Hello There. I like this idea of yours when you say there will be First Person Space Battles.. However, don't you think a third person approach to the combat mechanism would be more feasible? One thing that comes to my mind when you talk about space battles is Star Wars Battle Front 2. They had more of a third person approach on Consoles. Of course both Third Person and First Person Perspectives were available too, even on the PC but it felt like Third Person was their stronger bit . Also, I've played many Air Sims like Apache games, Janes USAF, Janes F/A-18, DCS World etc. One thing they do have is the First Person aspect, or Cockpit View you can say. However, what they have is interactivity. Once inside the Cockpit , you can perform operations using your Mouse and pointing at various instruments. Some of these games have actually combined both First Person and Third Person Perspectives quite well. Anything similar being planned by you guys? Thank You. |

Main reason for why we are focusing on first person view is because better player immersion and the increasing interest in oculus rift. Also, we have been working on adding multiple cameras into the player's view. So, the person gets first person view and drone first person view in the same window (by example). Also, a functional 3d radar might be a solution we can look into. But, we are so early in development and things rarely ever go after plan. We just adjust and try to make it as interesting as we can for the players. We do a lot of testing and at times we figure out that we need to make things different. On this topic though we have some ideas that we would like to implement. But, we feel that we shouldn't really go out with the ideas publicly before we are certain that we are gonna implement them. Saves the players from frustration in case we don't implement something we have talked about. More information on this topic will be revealed as we get further into the game development. -Thanks for your interest! Dan Wad. |
