Current Events > i dont get all the fuss over cyberpunk 2077 being first person would matter much

(+) Yeah! (+)

vampire: the masquerade bloodlines, new vegas, deus ex pretty much prove you can have proper RPG with shooting in first person perspective.

the downside is i wont be able to see female V's sexy ass all the time

Accessibility is the only thing I've seen thus far. Some people actually can't physically handle first person view.

oh yeah , the girl on youtube. is there a reason why she cannot play first person? im sure people with motion sickness can ease the nausea by FoV setting and running at constant high framerate and turn off stupid head bobbing, motion blur and all of that shit

Well you tell her that. I'm not sure of the details myself.

I don't really care that much either way. CDPR have said that there will be plenty of opportunity to see your character anyway, if that's a concern: in dialogue/cutscenes, reflective surfaces, Photo Mode, etc.

As for the reasons why they've went with first-person, a good point I've seen is that perhaps the densely packed and vertical world will be too cramped for third-person. Imagine the camera issues when there are a bazillion NPCs, tall buildings and cramped spaces everywhere.

For some people first-person controls just suck the fun out of a potentially great experience. Especially in a story driven game, where it can make the MC feel more like a cameraman instead of an actual character.

it took me a long time before I could enjoy FP games.

I'd like to thank Human Revolution for easing me into them.

Mass Effect, Witcher, Dragon Age were all incredible RPGs with FP view

I blame casualization of games and normies piggy backing onto the gamer scene with 3rd person adventure/open world/rpg games

Witcher 3 casualized cp2077 will be casualized. I am not expecting deep mechanically involved meditational experiemce like age of decadence.

It will be a fun, action packed games with good story, choices and some rpg elements.

This. Apparently that chick is the world's biggest fan of the IP--and I'm not being sarcastic--so it super sucks for her. I'd be interested to learn more about her condition, tbh. I've never experienced motion sickness.

In the same sense as the "accessibility" icon in the Windows Control Panel, which has all the options for hearing impaired, visually impaired and all that jazz. Not the modern video gaming sense that basically means easy and shallow.

For melee combat, 3rd person is good perspective to use. But Cyberpunk being futuristic (ie; guns) shifting it to first person makes more sense.
