third person?

[Duke]

I dont know man... im alone in the sad boat that its not a first person game? i was hyped for a cool first person game but this? :-(

Third person isn't a deal breaker for me but 1st person would be epic.

Views on the Third person perspective?

I'm not afraid of this game being third person, World War Z made me like the third person perspective on l4d like games, but having played every aliens game as a marine in the first person perspective, this is going to jolt me a little. Hopefully it proves me wrong just like World War z did.

Play Predator: Hunting Grounds, it's likely to be similar.

I wish it was 1st person, it just won't be the same having a facehugger jump onto your character.

Im glad that this will be a TPS game.

No offence, but i remember when peoples at some other game - including me - mantioned that an OPTIONAL 3rd person perspective would be good, FPS fan's virtually killed them all... And now asking for FPP in a TPS game?

You know what? I hope dev's make optional FPP for you guys, but you have to learn to respect those, who are not into FPP.

If there is a game that should always be a FPS that is Alien. I know part of your team has worked on Dead Space before but please reconsider.

I am more worried that TPP will not translate well into enclosed environments such as in the alien universe. I will have to see some solid gameplay when that times come.

I agree Vulcan.

The enclosed environments is a very good point. Third person kinda guarantees there won't be any single file corridors and low ceilings, cause nowhere for camera to go.

Otherwise, it depends on what the tone of the game they are going for is. If I remember, Alien Isolation was originally third person, until someone hacked in first as a test, and the tension of the game shot up dramatically because of it, which fit for a horror survival game. If they are going for a more relaxed arcadey game, third person would be appropriate.

we get suffocated with first person view. sometimes its refreshing to get a third person view shooter.

FPS is basically everywhere, can't look at those fps games without throwing up, tps games is like a breath of fresh air, finally

Kinda disappointed too, an option to switch cameras Battlefront style would be much appreciated. But not a deal breaker if everything else holds up!

first person would be better and more immersive yeah but it may be good still.

The only thing that i like about the game so far. Third person allows for great customization.

Why they wouldn't do FP and TP is beyond me. It's just a change in camera POV.
