Why we can not see our characters completely in game after all alot skins etc purchased ? Im directly asking developers can you not add a simple button for those who wants to see own character simply for those who wants to see entire character enable it and if not disable it (Like Diablo) . In these way u’ll save us seeing only 1-2 arm of our characters .
3rd person view would allow corner peeking.
Some characters have abilities that enable 3rd person view, but that’s because a 1st person view would be awkward or clumsy in those situations.
“FPS” happens to be the closest widely understood category but by no means defines the game - if we’d allowed traditional core FPS values to determine the design of the game we would’ve had a much less interesting game as a result
They could add a third person mode toggle or game mode to the game tomorrow and it would still be Overwatch - the game isn’t defined by the perspective it’s played in
None of this matters because at the end of the day $ speaks louder than anything else and the only question that needs to be asked here is:
Would it make them more money if they added a 3rd person mode?
That’s literally the only question that matters from the perspective of business and profit…
Why do you believe it would be less profitable if skins were more enticing to purchase?
I don’t think soo, maybe a little more for a moment, but that would also increase queue times since people would split between TP and FP which would a lot of people be annoyed ahah
I should confess I think this kind of game may suit better in Third Person, I think the fact Marvel Rivals will be in third person is a good thing. Seems the kind of game that will rely more in abilities rather than weapons/aim.
But I don’t know if it will be good idea for OW2 having the two game modes.
Mixing the two perspectives in the same lobby would be unfair since third person gives more advantages.
And creating new game modes for third person would split the player base making queue times too much longer I guess. I don’t think removing arcade would be enough since there is not too much people playing it (and I would prefer to keep some arcade modes like Assault Maps, 3vs3 Eliminations…)
For the skins personally it would be the same for me, I don’t spend my money in skins because I like it, I spend only if I like the game and I want to keep the game alive supporting the devs.
Regardless, it can be quite interesting. You don’t need to blend 3rd person to 1st person, you can make them separate modes like in PUBG. Then it depends on what you want to play and how you want to play.
I doubt that Blizzard would choose to do that. I don’t think they are even prioritizing the OW at all after the Microsoft acquisition. It should be the least favorite game under Blizzard’s wing currently.
