No FPP combat:( Come on devs... PLEASE consider it

[Alleluja2000]

Maybe an option, like in Bethesda or Rockstar games!
There are already so many TPP shooters/melee games, please don't take away the fantastic immersion you've achived with first game by using first person perspective.

I know you said you can roam around in first person but pretty please... Make it so combat, especially gunplay, can be from FPP as well!

In general yes, we have the option to switch camera, but all the combat mechanics require you to use third person camera during the fight.

ALL combat is 3rd person only.
This is the same post that I quoted.

How about YOU read before you decide to post a freakin essay about non-issue.
The entire f*cking reason why devs did kickstarter is so GAME IS NOW GONNA HAVE FIRST PERSON COMBAT!!

I'll try looking at the kickstarter page again, but the last I heard about it it's what Sadocommando posted, and afaik it was going to be a 'hard' requirement. Meaning it's a forced event because that's what they developed the weapons around.

I think you should check the dates and read my post that is pinned at the top of this thread. My statement is binding. It will be possible to complete the entire game in FPP. We even already have the first FPP combat prototypes.

Although I still can't see why it's so difficult to add. It should be easier because it's just taking the character's body out, and adjusting animations. Which I can't see why they can't use some from the first person coding in the first game (even with the updated engine)...which was exclusively FPP through the whole game.

Check the Kickstarter video. Toward the end, I explain in detail (I’m the Game Director) why FPP involves a lot of additional work, and you can also see some footage showing exactly what that work entails. Many things are created differently when viewed up close versus from a distance - for example, animations need to have a different dynamic, reveal the weapon more, and (most importantly!) not clip into the player’s camera.

In FPP, many details are more visible, so models need to be more detailed, and effects (like muzzle flashes) have to be completely redone and behave differently in the environment. The HUD has to be entirely redesigned because, by definition, it clashes more in FPP than in TPP, and if it’s too heavy, it disrupts immersion. And, of course, every single functional test (every mission, every enemy, every boss) will need to be performed twice - once in FPP and once in TPP.
