Re: Freecam without killing tricks

In Response To: Re: Freecam without killing tricks (scarab) : I was thinking along those lines myself. But who would be the player if you : were filming half a dozen people in multiplayer? Or even two in coop? : Do explorers care as much about exploring mp maps? Could you have a separate : set of rules for sp and mp? : And you'd still have the 3rd person effect of being able to see things that : the player never could. Don't know how much it would matter, its still : better than being able to roam completely unrestricted. : I'd be happy enough with filmed games being from the player's 1st person : perspective. Its more visceral and you'd feel less like a spectator : because you're seeing the action from the usual viewpoint. : Imagine Mike Miller's GDK blitz through the belly of the beast done in 3rd : person. I imagine that it would look flat. You'd probably notice that the : character models are a bit too gamey, not as good as feature film cgi. : You would be watching as a member of an audience and not as a participant. I'm not sure about the last part. I think it would be pretty great to see some of the awesome campaign-players in third person. That being said, I think you and Narc are right that campaign needs to be different. The saved films (if there ARE saved films for campaign) need to be restricted to first person view or a few, close third person views. Otherwise, in addition to losing some of the incentive for tricking, you could just park the MC somewhere and then use the camera to look ahead on the level to see what's coming up, and where the enemies are hiding, and the like. So, in summary: MP: free-moving fly-anywhere camera. SP: camera restricted to first-person or close-to-the-player third-person.
