I just saw this video on youtube , i know its old …

But no matter how i look at it its just so cool and fresh to have in-game option that will give us camera angle like this … Also
reinhardt , brigitte and now hammond already have their own 3rd person view … So wish this will happen in the future .

A third-person mode would make for a great Arcade mode! :smiley:

Can’t you just emote to get a 3rd person view?

5

We’re talking about actually playing the game in third-person-view though.

it comes with way too many advantages. you have a much larger field of view. It would be so bad for the game.

That is one interesting glitch… o-o

I would Love To have this in game.

Just… Not like shown. X3
That specific glitch seems to effect your overall field of view, compared to normal…

Otherwise, has anyone here seen the hammond glitch where you get third person view after respawn, when walking normally?

It looks Awesome.
Although sadly, it resets your view if you shoot, or transform. :confused:

I don’t think that’s a glitch. Isn’t that how the spectator view was before they changed it? I remember you could spectate in third person or press the space bar to go into first person… I may be wrong though.

But some heroes already have that advantage …i dont see any problem making it an option in the game .

Actually, what I would really love is for them to make Lucioball into a third-person game, I feel like it would be so much better that way! :smiley:

??? Heroes that don’t shoot, like rein and brigitte. And even in their case this is only viable while they don’t do ANYTHING. But hold the shield. There’s a reason why this was never a thing in other FPS games. It makes your field of view much bigger and certain elements like flanking and being pressured from both sides become extremely easy to notice and avoid. This works in games that are located in non-linear enviroments such as all the Koth games because you NEED that advantage spotting a tiny spec in the distance. In fps games this is bad, REALLY bad, it would literally kill the game.

If you are talking about having an advantage in game then you already have that advantage with some heroes as i said in the post .

I was more so talking about how said specific third person view had a… Distorted view, Showing more of the right or the screen than the left…

Basically, yea.
That too.

I understand that it would be a problem in competitive , but having this as an option in quick play or a separated mode in arcade for fun it would be nice .

15

maybe in custom games. Cause think about it, if you have that enabled and someone else does not they are at a disadvantage.

It gives you corner peaking potential so no. Also I hate over the shoulder gameplay.

17

Thats why am saying it should be optional in quick play or separated mode in arcade .

QP is still supposed to be as close to comp it can get without SR, adding weird options is going to mess it up. Anyone who’s in first person will always be at a disadvantage no matter what meaning either you go 3rd person or are disadvantaged.

But this is a fps not a tps

Then just having it as a mode in arcade would be fine i think .
