Poll: Should Gears of war be first person?

[Everin]

Do you think that Gears of war be first person or third person, and why?

 

[Cabisco]

Nope, because it's a third person shooter and I like it like that

Why change a good thing?

 

[Lt. Surge]

I think there should be a choice because then everyone is happy!

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Um, it should be third person, because the entire game and all its mechanics are built around that view.

Also a first person view would deprive us of Marcus's manly muscles.

The thread is over after one post? Damn... I wanted to have input too.

INPUT: It's also a refreshing break from the slew of first person games out there. I actually would prefer third person any day, provided it's over-the-shouldery (Like Fallout 3). I absolutely hate it when the camera is DIRECTLY BEHIND the character (Oblivion... ugh).

Sorry about that old chap, I should have let for salvos fly before planting the thread over flag.

oooooh more INPUT: The third person also helps with the whole over the top feel of gears. Whilst yes it's not realistic enough etc It's an excellent change from yet another boring FPS. It's hilariously extreme and I love it for it, on no other game can I charge across a map with a chainsaw guts and blood flying everywhere to then have an epic duel with a giant albino lizard man.

Gears should remain third person and clinically insane.

The third person allows for all the action of the chainsaw! HELL YEAH

 

[steevee]

Should be like RSV2, I don't understand why more games don;t us that mechanic. First person, but with switching views depending on what you are doing, taking cover etc.

This is actually a good suggestion, I know I would have it in first person.

 

[Discord]

Nah...
But it would be cool if they added the opition of classic 3rd person or new 1st person but only for mulitplayer. And it would cool if one team would be forced to play a certain way and the other another way.

 

[Jenova65]

No, it is what it is, and certainly shouldn't have a choice because when there is a choice 3rd person perspective always looks 'tacked on', I hate the way your character moves in Fallout 3 in 3rd person like they don't know how to walk and they seem to levitate too. So you end up with some weird floating strafing lunatic! Not everything should be first person, not everyone 'loves', it.

 

[steampunk42]

first person would not work well with the whole ducking, rolling, dodging , shooting awsomeness that gears of war is and has always been....plus i have no desire to see a chainsaw execution through the first person...even i have my limits.

 

[latenightapplepie]

It should remain third-person, I think. I've only played the first Gears of War, and almost entirely off-line, but from that, the game seems to put a lot of emphasis on understanding and controlling the physical environment of the battlefield, strategically taking cover and flanking enemies where possible. I'm not sure if it could retain that focus if the game changed to a first-person perspective.

 

[Marter]

I don't think the cover based system would work all that well in First Person. Unless they did it like the Rainbow Six: Vegas games and switched to 3rd person while in cover.

I still think it should stay 3rd person.
