Probably janky and uncontrollable right now. If they showed it to the public we'd all rip apart the framerate or whatever. If they show it to the press they can NDA them from talking about technical things that will likely be fixed anyway. They can reset things when stuff happens, etc.

True true, would have been cool to get a snippet of gameplay in the trailer though.

You can but game-play was not made with that in mind and plays worse...most people play them in FPP.
That's completely subjective. I played through the entire game in TP, and although they could've done more to fix the camera movement, it was a lot more enjoyable experience for me. The important thing is that they give you options.

All of you who say "FPS gives me motion sickness", are you absolutely sure?
Have you played FPS game with large FOV scale to find what FOV fits you and with 60+ fps?

Because im sure most of your "motion sickness" is because of low FOV and low FPS.

From what I heard on Gamespot, it sounds like you define a class as you go along and play where you can either go fully into a specialization or bits of either.

THAT is how you make a fucking RPG. Not like Bethesdas dumb infinite skill system where you are playing a demi-god in waiting to get all skills to 100, you are either great at some things or adequate at many. Definining your character as a person, or, a role.

I think the hate is less about hating FPS games or FPS centric RPGs like Deus Ex, and more about the ability to create your character and design them but remain in the First Person view. It would be different if you didn't have to create your character and not concern yourself with appearances but it feels like a gut shot to customize your character and be forced into FP mode.

I'll still buy and enjoy this game but I would have preferred third person.

You make it sound like it's the difference between SSAO-on and SSAO-off. Camera perspective between TPS and FPS is huge. It completely changes how combat works. Just compare Skyrim to something like Dark Souls. Totally different combat. Hell, compare Skyrim to Witcher. They fundamentally cannot have the same or similar combat systems.

Now, this ignoring the fact that some people like me physically cannot play FPS because it makes us wanna puke, but that's besides the point ('cuz it doesn't affect you, and you don't care that I can't play FPS anyway).
Exactly

The choice of perspective is a gigantic aspect to a game

What if Super Mario, Mortal Kombat, or Dark Souls was a first person game

Are you telling me it wouldn't change anything at all ?

The art design is horrific, insult to compare it to Blade Runner which is a visual beauty unlike this game which has every imaginable cyberpunk cliche design all in one package.

Yep, good job dividing the fanbase. Definitely some geniuses over there at CDPR.

Seriously,people being frustrated due to the first person camera,I'm sad for you really.

I mean if Skyrim or Fallout had a first person only view,would they be lesser rpgs than they already are? Some people need to grow up really
Who is saying they would be lesser games? Motion sickness is a thing for people. And also, if TPV did not serve a purpose in those games, why was it included?

Maybe it's just my off-base expectations / assumptions, but this looks so much like a 3rd person game. Can't really imagine how this will look / work in 1st person, but I am excited to see it.

I've always been partial to 3rd person, but I'm pretty confident this game will deliver - regardless of what I am typically most comfortable with. It just looks killer!

Okay, hype officially gone now. Why would they do it? I wanted a real open world game where I can go wherever I want from the beginning.

So disappointing.

Muh ? You wanted to be able to enter something like a gang HQ without being cool with them or guns blazing ? Cuz' that's what it says to me, the jacket would give you a better standing with the said gang.
