It only mentions FP, but there might be a chance that TP is there too...

I'm hoping they add TPP. :luck:

Leaks said it would include tpp, so who knows?

I bet there's third person. Here's why. Check out the video at 0:55. Look closely at the hands.

https://youtu.be/DcYL2HavLVA?t=55

Notice also that there is a lot of detail on the back of the outfit. The Hope logo, the dangling hose, the stitching on the sleeves. Weird to put that much effort into something the player will never see. So, if that's you, it suggests that you get the option to see it at some point. Now fast forward to 1:12

https://youtu.be/DcYL2HavLVA?t=72.

Look at your hand. Yep, same suit as the dude in the armor at 0:55. Now, if you never changed outfits, then maybe that wouldn't be an issue. However, this is an RPG so of course you do and we see that you do later at 1:52 (https://youtu.be/DcYL2HavLVA?t=112) where you have no gloves on.

Now, maybe the armor is just a starting armor and the put all that detail in for a cutscene that they knew you would have it on in. But the other armors in the game seem equally detailed, including the work done on the arm of the armor that you're using at 1:52, but you can't even see that unless you slow it down to .25 speed. So, it looks like a lot of work if you never get a chance to admire how awesome you look.

Now, I could be wrong, but that's what the trailer suggests to me. One other thing. The more I watch the trailer it looks to me like this really is New vegas in space. And that suggests 1st or 3rd. Again, could be wrong, but I know which way I'd bet.

is TTP like over the shoulder? because there are what FPS, Diablo style camera, over the shoulder and 5 feet behind the player ?

If it is FPS only is not a game to me, I don't like the idea of playing getting sick.

It looks pretty great but if it's first person view only I won't be buying it.

Just can't enjoy an action RPG without seeing my character not to mention the fact first person view makes me feel nauseous.

Well VtmB and Fallout NV both have TPP option i hope this game have the same option.

It's apparently first person only, you'll see your character in the inventory menu or if you stand idle long enough

Judging from the article at PCGamer, it seems like it will be mostly first person BUT, you still customize your character in the beginning, will see yourself in the inventory screen, and if you wait around the camera will zoom out and move around with you at the center. Whether that means it really is just that, or something similar to FO3 (where you "technically" could play 3rd person, but was practically pretty much impossible), I don't know.

You can read the article for yourself and see what you make of it. Personally though, I find it odd if they made the effort to let you customize your character, and then not using it again.

In the gameplay video they had a part where his companion got a kill and did the cinematic like new Vegas or fallout 4 in slow mo, and showed the player character. But I'm pretty sure that it won't be playable in third person

It's first person only, but being able to see your character in the inventory menu or if you stay idle for a time.

I remember people complaining about Cyberpunk 2077 too for being only FP while having a customizable character, but honestly these kinds of games work much better in first person.

Maybe for you, not all like or want to play in First Person, fair if you like it or all other who like it, but not all share same view some like 1st person other like 3rd person.

Me too. I can't play a FP perspective, makes me sick. I cannot believe this did not launch with TPP. I hope it is coming.
