third person view

[lol]

Please add a third person view if you are driving in the level, it would be clearer in my opinion,

your car is your HUD. I get what you're saying but it would defeat the whole purpose of the game

[lol]

Yes, but still, the developers can introduce a function that you can set yourself whether you play in third person or first person view in the levels, so that you can always switch with one button, so many games have it

I too was wanting to have this. But I think then the devs would have to then put a character model in the driver seat if you pan the camera around, who knows if we are meant to be seen.

There seems to be a solution for some people by playing around with the FoV and the Motion Blur options.
I would not get my hopes up for a third person option. It would need a vast rework of the game and its functionalities.

This would require serious reworks: player animations would have to be added, plenty of them for locomotion, interaction etc, and camera rework would be needed in order to have it work inside buildings. In short: don't ask for third person views in games that don't have them, it will never happen.

How to make a game: Which view - One of the first steps. It's da design choice. Deal with it or not. Many games ≠ other games. If I would create a game, the choice of view is my personal one, not the costumers one. And yes, the most people knew it, not everyone buy a game because of this. But there are tons of factors to buy it or not. Not everybody can be made happy.

sure this game needs Third Person View , why not to add it, i expect more feel from car, expect open world few ways around world to get to the Point and finding parts, solve mysteries and so on, for me demo boring. i dont feel it

[Arknoangel]

many FPS add a 3rd person camera just for driving like contraband police for example and it helps lotso f player who like me just suffer from driving motion sickness

I'd dig that for something like a photo mode

Is it normal for any studio to rework their game's viewing modes after they launch version 1.0? Ironwood Studios didn't, AFAIK, offer Pacific Drive in an Early Access state. Was there even an open beta?

I've seen studios add 1PP or 3PP to their game after sufficient requests from beta players but I don't recall any studios of the games in my Steam library adding another viewing perspective after their game has released as v1.0.

3rd Person view is easy to add, problem is it makes the game unplayable

They'd have to add functionalities for a number of actions that cannot be performed otherwise
You can't even get out of the car once in as you have to click the door to get out

Interesting. The needed functions would not be a simple task for modders?

[Connelli]

No, I'm not even sure if it'd be possible

Gotcha! I have been wondering about the topic of adding new features and functionality to computer games that are already feature-complete and passed their Release Candidate stage to V1.0, My understanding with most game studios is that by this point some of the developers have been retasked to a new project (DLC for example), others investigate and fix bugs in the base game for a certain amount of time, and a few will have separated from the studio entirely to find employment elsewhere.
