Would this game be better as a third-person shooter? Maybe something with a high camera fidelity like some action adventure games or more over the shoulder like tactical 3rd person shooters.
Any thoughts? |

Any thoughts? It would be a completely different feel, that is for certain. Maybe CCP will incorporate a "Third Person Deathmatch Mode" if they ever decide to place an Arena. |

Third person is okay I guess if it's a cover-based shooter and you'd otherwise be looking at jack **** because you're constantly behind waist-high objects.
Third person also works well for games with a lot of melee combat, as first person can get disorienting for that.
So, no, it wouldn't be a good fit for Dust in my opinion. It'd make aiming harder and there'd be essentially no payoff aside from getting to look at your characters bum all game. |

Honestly, I think a third person shooter would work really well with this game because of all the vanity items that will go for sale. That's the only reason though. |

There is really no clear answer to the question about first-person and third-person views. This is because it is narrowed down to player's preferences. I am mainly a first-person perspective guy because it makes me feel like I am that person holding the weapon and aiming down the sight. Third-person view is something I would reserve for operating vehicles because I have poor depth perception when it comes to virtual worlds and vehicles in the first-person perspective. Other players might like it better in third-person because it lets them see where exactly their character is standing in relation the environment. Third-person is also appropriate for social gatherings like you see in PlayStation Home and Second Life.
As you can see, it is down to personal preference. Some like it first-person so that they can have that "I was there" feeling when they fight in a match. Others like third-person just for situational awareness and admiring their avatar. |

Make it a destructible sensor module, uses up an equipment slot. You can pop it up and give yourself a drone sensor perspective, we can shoot it down & throw off your game until you get to a resupply or respawn. |

Then the Eve players are going to want the same thing too since their in-game lore points out that they can see the outside of their spaceships the same way you described. Except they are not installed as modules but rather as standard equipment built into the ship with a ready supply of camera drones. |

Mm. This far along though into the games development stages and turning it into a third person shooter would be seriously costly to the developer and publisher alike. Not that it is a bad idea -- we'll never know -- however it is safe to say that as it stands it's best to leave it as a first person shooter. For better or worse. Now maybe at a later time they'll be able to work in something like variation or options in which will allow the player (us) to play some of Dust514 in third person rather then soley first person. Nonetheless though turning the entire game into a third person would just be too costly.
Not a bad thought though. I certainly have a soft spot for most third person games -- Warhawk, SOCOM -- for examples from the PlayStation family. I'd mention Starhawk, but that game upsets me.
Hm. Still it is not a bad idea of what could have been. Props to you for the suggestion. |

You mean since June? Hm. Well still it is a good thought, but considering the costs of going back this late into the games development, and the delays? I garuntee while it just won't happen, but as I said it is probable that they [CCP] may introduce some variation or game modes which will allow for third person gameplay. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare2 had a couple of third person game modes though very ugly looking in the character animation department. Ha-ha. Still it could happen, but the game overall will always be first person as it was designed and intended to be.
Not a bad idea though like I said. I'm sure they must have discussed in which route to take Dust514 though. |

I've never really been a fan of 3rd person shooters. I think the only one I've really liked so far rather than merely tolerated was Starhawk. I really prefer the immersion that the 1st person perspective provides, and aiming feels more fluid to me that way. |

If CCP ever decides to do avatar-based PvP in EVE (LE GASP), I wouldn't mind that being in third person. Oookay I hit edit to post this, but apparently that meant I secretly wanted to quote it. Go figure. |

For the MMO side of things this would make sense. But it would also give a tactical advantage to people who liked playing socom, you could see around corners when a first person perspective player can't. The only way to do it would be a "corner drone" You can switch it to the left or right side, and it would hover over your shoulder. Make it a pretty big target. (Ps3 slim size) and a circle with a glowing red eye.
The screen would be in the upper corner.
You could also use it as a scout to look ahead of where you want to go VIA command wheel. Something like double tap the weapon wheel to give orders.
This game does remind me a lot of star wars battlefront 1. |

I usually prefer FPS over TPS, but if somehow this game turned into a TPS, I wouldn't have a problem as long as it works well as a TPS. Maybe then we could get stuff like rolling, and vaulting. |

Nope, third-person mode is a weak idea.
I've seen numerous posts about this already... It flakey, and lame idea. I hope they remove all the third person views... From vehicles and add some type of rear-view mirror side mirrors(like drones use).
It requires people to be more skillful... I like third person views, but they make the game incredibly easy, because you get a greater view. It requires less coherence, because you can see all around. First person requires you to be more perceptive.
If they would not had third person in tanks... No one would have used tanks... Just like in battlefield 3 until people figured out how to switch.
I understand why you want it though, because the game is so hard for you and you want it easier... But games are about acquiring skill and if its too easy, it becomes too kiddy.
I know you an yr lil pals like being sneaky, but if you and everyone else is in third person.. Then yr lil ability to sneak becomes pretty useless. |
