First person, third person or both

[Jukelo]

It's Elite, not an arcade shooter so 1st person or nothing. (For me anyway)

Elite is and always was an arcade shooter though...

You'd need a lot of 10 penny piece's.

I wanted to start a poll to see if we want third person, first person or a toggle-able choice for wandering about the place, but it looks like we can't do polls anymore (Mods please delete this thread if I can start a poll and I'll resubmit it).

I'd prefer first person as I find third person breaks immersion, for example when I play dead-space some idiot (me) keeps getting in the way and blocking my view. Other than that dead-space is great, I just can't play it because of the view mode.

Edit : Although I prefer 1st person I do not request or condone the removal of 3rd person its just a personal preference, I'm only after a view toggle.

Braben and his team agree with you. They want the game to be a first person experience.

Yep turns out it was just shoddy reporting.

 

[who?]

Both. At the same time.

I want to see my own bottom.

Nooooo! Don't do it.

I've been through those airport scanners that see through your clothing, and seen the image. One's own bum is never a pretty picture.. I've since broken up with myself, and barely ever talk to myself any more..

David didn't mention any POV, just walking around the ship. It could still technically be either although it's likely to be whatever was originally discussed.
