First-person

I was wondering if there is a chance this will get different camera angles like first person or over the shoulder third person. As a simple matter of personal preference, I'm not a big fan of the side on fighting game camera and would love to see more immersive options to really get the blood pumping when playing. Looks great so far though.

Over the shoulder or semi-top camera - maybe. For now I included an option for having a high-angled camera in single player match.

It's a Early Access game so we can try a lot of unusual stuff, why not.

I can't see it really working as a game with first person mode... but with VR is another story.

Chivalry and Mordhau both do first person fairly well. The issue with those two is the character needs to look around which limits combat complexity so if the camera was just locked on to the opponent i think it'd work great as it wouldn't affect the actual combat much. If a games going for realism i think first person is a good idea. kingdom come: deliverance also did first person very well but was still a little limited in it's mechanics which this game would fix.

It's not that easy as you would think.
Games are designed around specific camera viev and work correctly with it and changing it can make the game unplayable and require a lot of work to fix it. It's not without reason that you don't see first person camera in Mortal Combat and thrid person camera in Call of Duty.
There are few games (except driving games) which makes it.
One Street Fighter tried to implement it but it was failure.
Skyrim and Red Dead has two perspectives but in both cases they are using separate animation sets for each viev and probably a lot of other changes. And both changing camera between 1st and 3rd so it's not changes way of moving and interacting with world. Imagine amount of work required to change side view where you move left and right to 3 dementional where you can move in all directions.

God, no, that would be awful. If you want this game to be first-person, this is not the game for you.

You can barely see whats going on in a game where you need to track your weapon and opponents weapon / Pos and that on an 2D Screen ?
