Why first person???

[Kosta]

Worst decision you could make for a game like this. I hope they will consider to add third person mode too.

According to who? Aside from armchair devs that don't actually know anything about game development I mean.

Exactly, the trailer even shows this.

Eh I think it is a fair complaint. Indy is more of a brawler in the movies and even the trailer suggested a heavier focus on melee than shooting. The game could be different of course, but it would hinder the Indy experience if that were the case and I personally think FP will make for bad melee combat.

It's a design choice. Leave it to professional designers. Please.

You're not wrong. In a dev diary, they made the same joke.

For anyone who cares to see if it's possible to make a good first person cinematic action title with an emphasis on melee and straight-up brawling, see: Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher's Bay.

That game made you feel like you inhabit the character, while showing off the action (or boring bits) in third person, only when necessary. (First person immersion, but nobody wants to stare at the rungs of a ladder while they climb, for example.)

I prefer first person in most games, but it gets tricky with stealth, which they've said this game will have a fair amount of options for. Hiding in first person relies on gimmicks or UI clutter while not giving enough peripheral sense. Hoping that the view changes to third person for these elements.

One vote for first person.

No need for hope, it will not happen:) Sorry not sorry. It is not an option.

It is pure developers choice if they decide to make it 1st or 3rd person, and every player must be okay with it, or not play it, because there is zero right to tell developers how their game should look like :)

That question: "Why first person???" is so easy to answer.. WHY? Why you think? Because: They want to.
That is it, nothing else matters, this is the only answer for this question:)

Yes I played them but all Indiana Jones Games from 2000th are in third person like Tomb Raider.

why cant there be something different for a change?

btw not every TR game was the same, or even camera view.
