First Person Mod Request
Thats how The Ascent would looks like in first person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieizygiaWDE

And here in third person: https://www.reddit.com/r/theascent/comments/ov4jd5/the_ascent_with_a_traditional_third_person_camera/

I knew if The Ascent goes in first- or third person it would looks still awesome.
So a short request for a first person mod which fix a little bit the camera angle and aim.

The game has a forced perspective, so the textures on whatever surfaces currently face away from the camera probably don't exist a lot of the time.

The video proves the opposite because in first person the player looks from bottom to top instead from top to bottom and there are still textures visible from bottom, although they are would not visible from top. Same with left and right in first person compared to forced camera perspective with only one side.

This mode could sell me this game.
the game isn't made for fpp or tpp - deal with it kids.
in 90% of todays games crybabies wanna change the whole game - so why u buying it in the first place? make ur own games, so u got nothing to complain. easy as that

Take a closer look, you can tell that a lot of areas only have simple textures, instead of the details they are suppose to have. Not to mention, most of them are not designed to be viewed that close.

I would say that this is not that easy because you can always see in only 1 direction or perspective.

On the other hand there is already an example for a game where they managed to pull this off.
Cloudpunk was also originally designed as a third person/sidescroller game. But they added a 1st person view to it for release.

I would love a third person mode but am happy with the world as I have it.

Sure, but given how combat works with current game version, they cant "just change the camera". Its more or less a complete reworks of the combat system, that is required. Just imanage that the only thing you see, is a cone in front of the character. Then go an poke one of the bosses and fight with only that limited view...

Looks like better FPS Cyberpunk RPG than Cyberpunk 2077

It's quite simple to make normal camera for TPS/FPS modes in UnrealEngine using bones and slots in character skeleton. But I can't say that adding view switch option can be easy as I've not seen the game project.

You don't need such technics when you're working with UE4.

We aren't asking for changing whole game) Just for adding one or two options.

lol let them fix the bugs in the normal game first.. I don't imagine an FPS/TPS mod is doable without an overhaul to the combat system and level design.

alright, I have to give the devs the credit. I liked the look of the game, but this really reinforces how good it actually looks.
