Belgirion Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 alot of people like to use first person when using guns, but w/ a saber, most go third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Yittreas Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Most flips and moves won't be necessary while using laser weapons. And you would be kinda stupid if you used lightsaber while in 1st person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I highly doubt they'll spin your POV around when you do flips and stuff. In UT and other FPS games when your character filps you only see it on the 3rd person model, your first person view stays the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reserved_name Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 yeah UT had the matrix moves mutator, where you saw the dodges from your own viewpoint, and it was really weird and might cause headache to lots of people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covax Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Depends.. When I was in MP JK I would play mosy of the time in 1st person. If I would come up against a moderatley good Duelist I'd switch to 3rd. However, when up against a 'Master' swordsman I'd switch back to 1st. Why? Hard to say. As corny as it sounds, I was alawys more 'in tune' with the lightsaber that way. I always play FPS with headphones on, for example. 3rd person view in MP tended to be too distracting, an more so now with the '500 animations'.

armed201 Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 sorry guys typo, I ment JK dark forces 2, not JK2. I always played jk1 with first person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I doubt you will see the viewpoint tumble as you do a flip, or anything like that, although it might be more realistic, no matter how disorienting. As for just using 3rd person for sabers, and 1st person for guns...well, I enjoyed playing JK in a variety of ways...from all 1st person (including sabers) to all 3rd person (including guns), to a mix of both. Although there are more moves/attacks with the saber this time around, and it would be cooler to see them in 3rd person...I will try playing the game with a mix of both, then all in 1st person, then all in 3rd person, just to see what it's like. That was the thing I liked about JK...that you could play in whichever perspective took your fancy at the time...and I hope to continue that in JKII.

P129 Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 It'll probably be like Q3. You'd be doing flips and stuff in the air as animations but the view will probably be normal. The only real game that I can think of that gives full animation of flips and stuff in the POV is the H-L mod The Opera, and that sucked...

nykel007 Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 People, don't just dismiss the 1st POV right away. Getting the feel of saber fighting, actually how it's soppose to be is all about this kind if POV. You'll think in the movies Obi-Wan and the others see little minitures of themselves, HECK NO!!!!. I for one will be trying out the 1st POV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHerring Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I also use the lightsaber in 1st person, it's easier to block that way (in JK1) I would probably go into 3rd person more if you could toggle it. (With guns and sabers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justus Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I got to the point in JK where I was always using the third person mode, I just found it easier to avoid shots and such... could always position yourself around corners and stuff to see how many enemies there lay ahead of you, while still being safely concealed...

Desslock Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Could just throw in an option whether to have motion on your view when you do flips and rolls and stuff and make some sort of notification popup about it but I dont see how your going to roll effectively in First Person, because you saw how Kyle Controlled the Roll in the PCGamer Trailer. Maybe Flips and Rolls are only with the Saber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Well personally I'd rather saberfight in 3rd person, the larger field of view should make up for the lack of feel with your saber. (in a normal swordfight in real life you at least feel where your sword is when you make a low swing and that the sword leaves your field of view, but in JK(II) you won't have the slightest idea where the blade is when you strike low.So I'd rather have 3rd person so I'll always know where my lightsaber is heading.

Tasuki Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I'd rather use third just cuase it looks better andI can judgedistances better. I agree it was easier to block in first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zek Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 The first person saber animations in JK were majorly messed up, particularly the secondary, which looks about 3x faster than it actually swings. In third person I found it much easier to judge where my lightsaber was hitting, especially in multiplayer where I'm trying to hit them with just the tip of my saber so I don't have to get too close and be at risk. It's also much easier to avoid things when you can see yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I'll die a horrible death before I do anything in 3rd person mode - especially lightsaber combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
