Thread: Will it be 1st or 3rd person? | Forums

  1. #1
    Has anyone conjectured how the rendering will be? Will it be 1st person like Myst, Riven, Exile, & Revelation?

    Or will it we play EOA in 3rd person like Uru.

    My hope is the latter, and from the looks of teaser images on the Myst V site, it just might be.

    your question seems odd...it's obvious that EoA is going to be realtime 3D like Uru (and not prerendered like the other Myst games), but we don't know about 1st or 3rd person yet.

    If the game is in third person then we know that Cyan has lost it.

    I'm hoping it will be both 1st and 3rd person, like Uru. But I also hope the 3rd person mode will be more like Max Payne II than Uru was. Uru's 3rd person mode was difficult to navigate sometimes because the camera would move around to some strange angles.

    Personally, I'm with thony... I want 3rd person default with an optional 1st person setting. If we were talking about a prerendered game, I would want first person, but when it comes to realtime 3D, I think Cyan's right that the 3rd person gives a much more "cinematic" experience.

    I guess I should have asked - will it be "realtime 3D" or "pre-rendered". I liked the feeling of running around in Uru.

    References on other forums leads me to believe that this will be reatime 3D like Uru but will include more advanced rendering to blend the two togther (as musch as possible).

    I guess that I also felt like Uru was left unfinished (and no, I'm not whining about the death of "Live" ). I am just hoping that some of the D'ni history that could have been tied together is put in EOA.

    What about Yeesha?? How rude was it to lead us down a journey, then take off down the volcano without us?

    I want to learn more about the Bahro.

    I want to visit the bottom of the Great Shaft (maybe they will give us a parachute as a clothing reward?)

    Just speculating.

    I think it should be like Revelation: first person all the way. I loved it like that.

    the game is going to be 1st person only,just like realmyst. i am 100% sure. all the myst games are 1st person this isnt going to be any different.

    please don't state that things are facts until we actually get official word. this is speculation only.

    i am personally thinking that it will be 1st person, despite how much i enjoyed the 3rd person view in Uru...
