Has this game only Cockpit view ?

[Elijah]

Played the good old rouge squadron as a kid and thought: "Maybe the new one is worth a shot".
But i noticed that all player view scenes in the trailer where only cockpit view.
So, is there a thirdperson camera or is there only cockpit view ?

It's cockpit only.

its funny it is first person only, in multiplayer when you die you can spectate in 3rd person. so the feature is fully there you just cannot access it in normal play. probably because it with give soom players a visual avantage. by for the story mode it should have been ok.

Thats disappointing, i always play vehicle games in third person, its more fun for me to see the actual vehicle. Well, i gues i don´t buy it then. Thats just stupid, thirdperson is practicly standard in vehicle games (besides some simulators). If they can´t even do that, i don´t want to know what else for common basics ain´t in this game.

Thanks for the Info.

It's intentional, they have 3rd person implemented for spectator view, they just don't want people using it for advantage.

"besides some simulators''.

Guess what this game is trying to be? More simulation like. It's not an arcade shooter like Rogue Squadron. It's a competitive 5vs5 at it's core. Same reason games like CS:GO, Valorant, Overwatch etc don't allow third person.

This has nothing to do with leaving out ''common basics'' as you call it, but has everything to do with you failing to understand the type of product it is.

Be open mind and watch videos that explains. All the hud information is in the cockpit. This is more of a simulation experience as you can control the power of your ship and shift between engine, lasers and shields.. also focus shield in the front of the ship or at the back etc.. Lot's of information on the cockpit for immersion purpose that would be a mess in third person. The game is designed like that and because of it's competitive nature, everyone would be playing in third person and ruin what the game is trying to do.

You failing at reading comprehension is not the responsibility of the game developers.

Kind of a bummer that there isn't third person view, like the ace combat series but i think devs wanted to give the players more immersion, that's also why it's VR compatible, a third person view would have been harder to implent with VR imo

[Elijah]

So, the game is a competitive multiplayer flight simulator ?
Thats a serious disappointment for me then, i hoped they continiue the original rogue sqadrons games. Gues they just continiue the story, but make the gameplay focus on a completly different spectrum.
Well, thanks for the info again.

Make a list of games that include vehicles. I bet you most games you find have a third-person view atleast as an option. And most of the first-person games are simulators or somewhat simulator like. Like this game seems to be.

I readed the description, i saw "first-person", i only wante to clarefy if its "only" first-person.
And yes, with many, if not most vehicle games including atleast a third-person camera as an option (this includes alot of Star Wars games too), i do see it as a regression.

Pretty cool of you to insult OP for 'failing to understand the type of product it is' when the point was to get a better understanding of the type of product it is.

This isn't a continuation of the Rogue Squadron games, its a reboot of the older X-Wing/TIE Fighter games that I played as a kid.

Ok, but that's not a reason to complain and behave like an entitled kid (talking about OP), I mean I'm fine either with or without 3rd person view,it's not that devs couldn't implement it, they didn't WANT TO because they had something else in mind. The only thing stopping me from buying it is the lack of money

Star Wars BF2 from Dice still brings best experience of 3rd person and no one cares of advantage because game about fun. Squadrons created for VR mostly, and it's a big mistake, and failure in total end. I mean Squadrons should get both views. And if they cares of absence advantage then should only 1 view cockpit in multiplayer.

i bought game, played 30 minutes and tired of spinning of cocpit. Its not fun and not cool with keyboard and mouse. Maybe with joystick is better, idk. but 3rd person is awesome game feeling and as result more active players (users of both views). And what we have now? Few elite cockpit fans playing online. Game died not because they think about game future or players, but because their (devs) only goal to make VR game. And i know what i am talking about
We all come back to BF2 by dice to play more from 3rd person. Game still can give you joy of play. And what about sw squadrons? no one cares even about singleplayer because whole game without 3rd person is buzzkiller. Now i am watching Youtube Squadrons gamemovie, because i dont want to play but want to know events and eastereggs in storymode.

If after whole these years they add 3rd person to game - it will brings new players atleast to singleplayer.
Because singleplayer storymode is actual, always. And this one is rich

This is the way!
