Little details and features such as Full Body Camera Immersion can go a LONG way [Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (2006)] Why this isn’t the standard for all First Person games is beyond me.

Most of the time, management doesn’t give the developers enough time to even make a properly functioning game.
Details cost time, and time is money.
So many first person games I look down to see if I can see my body. So many games I can’t.
I get why though. It’s not something the player is really gonna look at.
This always bothered me about Farcry 3. Once I noticed it, I couldn’t stop think about the PC just being a pair of legs with arms attached, running around the jungle murdering people from bushes. Also, it didn’t help that whenever you heal your self he’s just pulling bullets/shrapnel from his arms or putting out a fire on his legs.
The way ArmA does it makes the game feel real clunky though.
Pretty sure your camera is directly on your character model and not just a view model because third person to ADS zooms straight into your rifle.
I have Dark Messiah…I got stuck pretty early on and now i’m between houses and 360’s need repairs, but I really want to get back and finish that game
If I can’t look down and at least see my characters legs/feet while running, I’m disappointed.
Nothing quite hits the same as Thief (2014) and being able to interact with everything with your hands. Mmmmm some nice door opening and closing action
The good old arkane Studios….
I completely forgot about this game, I remember really loving it!
Thank you for the morning nostalgiagasm <3
I think it just looks a bit awakward. There’s only a few games that I’ve played that’s done it, and in those games, it’s either like your head moves independent of your body or your head can’t move without the rest of your body.
Dying light
Condemned Criminal Origins on 360 did it first
This game was amazing I always thought it was a hidden gem
Depends on the game. In an immersive RPG? Sure, it would be silly not to have that detail. In some fast-paced, non-realistic shooter? Jus wastes performance and no one is going to care or feel more “immersed” by it anyway.
Its a lot of extra work for not much return.
You can do this in Bethesda games with a simple dll in the script extender.
I agree. This should be a standard.
Ah the kick an orc game.
Whenever I think about Dark Messiah and ponder firing it back up, I realize I’m thinking almost strictly about that satisfying moment when you kick a guy to the bottom of a huge multi-level staircase and he survives… then you watch him run and hear him panting as he runs all the way back up the stairs only to get kicked right back down again.
Dark Messiah really opened up on that kick button. Dude had a boot. You could launch ragdolls almost anywhere.
It’s one of the essential skyrim mods
Even Arx Fatalis from 2002 has a visible body. Same Studio btw and a great game.
Ngl, I always hated this view. Combine UT with your hand and weapindls being fully I’m your eyeline abd it implies whacky posing.
In Kingdom Come Deliverance if your character wearing helmet that restricts vision – you actually don’t see that areas.
I dont think it fits in every FPS.
how much time do you spend trying to look at feet weirdo
There was a game where the first game had this feature and the second game didn’t. People were wondering why and the developers said they could have either had <x> (a significant amount more) amount of enemies or axe being able to see your body. They had to because of performance reasons. Probably why it’s not more common.
Laziness is why. Laziness and money
Shame the gameplay in CoD Warzone is so bad rn, with the servers and bugs etc. im sure on the graphics side they are probably one of the top 5 (if not top 3) in the world :/
One of the first games I recall playing that did this was Escape from Butcher Bay on the OG Xbox. I thought that was wild back in the day and remember some games following suite afterwards (Halo 2 comes to mind).
Definitely seems like a fad from a bygone era.
What never fails to piss me off is when first person games don’t even have the feets and legs of your character.
In 2023.
In fucking 2023 you still a floating balloon lol
