Nope, that's a guy floating above the battlefield, also third person
It would be quite cool if, when you fired a sniper rifle or similar, you saw the bullet coming in slow motion from the eyes of the guy you shot, until the bullet hit the camera... like Max Payne or Total War's 'missile tracking' features in reverse. That would be the only conceivable use of 2nd person perspective.
2nd person would be akin to the enemy view in flight simulators, useful for evading I might say.
Yeah wouldn't second person be like fixed drive-by cameras? They don't focus where you are looking, just on you...
Actually, 3rd person is correct. Max Payne is the first person, dumb thug is the second person, the invisible man looking over Max's shoulder is removed from direct interaction, the third person.Doc_EDo said:Yeah? How about 4th person view?
There's no 2nd person view. The one some here are describing is combination of 1st and 3rd. It's not 2nd. Basically 3rd person view got that name by mistake. It should have been called 2nd.
Straight-up second person would not work because you would only see your own character if he happened to be in the enemy line of sight. Else you would be stumbling around blindly until he caught you.
Perhaps a view from an evil monster as you were running away from him might work.
Battletoads' first boss character was a second-person camera battle. Through Boss-O-Vision you would see the boss shoot at your toad of choice, who under your control would pick up a boulder and chuck it directly toward the screen.
Then why are you still here if you find this pointless :tdown: ?[BuF]h.h. said:
As for the rest of you, thanks for the replies, it would be a petty cool view to see from the enemy your able to shoot see the bullet coming towards them from their point of view.
about the dumb thugs, because they are . I read some books that had things like, "You said", "You found a key laying on the floor", etc.I never tryed in UT fighting from my enemy's point of view, wonder how it would feel and look.
