expect its not, you need to do ALL the animations with motion capture for first person. its not exactly cheap to motion capture..

no need to make new anims, no cost to add, possible a few tweaks to gun positions for ads involved on a per gun basis but not much else. other characters would see your body fine no changes needed.

you are right motion capture is expensive, however if you think that is a must to hire mocap teams to make anims for this game you are wrong. unreal engine marketplace has tons of mocap anims on sale for use already, and price is far cheaper than having them made. if needed that is.
but its down to the dev to choose if or not to go 1st person, i just dont see the big deal not to go that way.

This is just a simple camera switch, and there are many states of characters in our game. The first person animation looks strange in the third person.

We have considered the first person, but we want to know how many players need the first person.

Thank you for your suggestion.

would make it easier for indoor fighting and such to be able to switch back and forth

[DevvEe]

yes, you can do it scuffed or you can do it proper.. however, i do vote for adding first person also as i am a first person guy, but only if you're gonna make it proper with all the animations for reloading, eating, drinking and whatnot. i dont have any problems for the game to be 3rd person personally, look at state of decay gameseries, its doing great with 3rd person only.. however, i wont argue 1st person option would be sweet if done properly!

There needs to be a first person option in order for the game to be taken seriously. Nobody plays 3rd person in PUBG and it only works in games like GTA, because of the type of game that it. A survival game like this is FAR better in 1st person. It just helps game the game more immersive and fun to play.

I vote a yes on 1st person option too

[Zombiewarpig]

But I love being in my attic and drinking water just to pop inside my head and see the back of my eye balls. I second, first person option should be standard, and also being able to zoom in or out with mouse wheel at the very least.

+1 on first-person being at least an option.

[stinkyer]

more interested in more content then 1st person imo...

[PrzemekPMT]

building in 3rd person view is anoying. Head is always covering that important part of the view where the snap poins are.

[Hoju]

first person for sure.. then might buy it

[HoneyBadger]

I would also like to add my vote for first person.

[Jesse Burson]

Switchable POV would be great. I prefer 1st person, while my mates all play in 3rd. I just like the immersion. The game is too pretty to be seen only from a overhead perspective.

+1 first person, I find it more immersive.

true i didnt consider the 1st person anims on 3rd person view. and yeah probably a few more wrinkles to iron out i didnt think about. but i agree with others 1st person is important to alot of gamers myself included and not having it as an option will lose customers and i dont want to see that happen to what is already looking to be such a promising game so far.

thanks for consideration. happy game making to you.

Count me in for 1st person as well. The option to switch would be a decent addition.
