Legs anyone?

[Gaston!]

Hello all! I'm a long time gamer, first time poster, so be nice ;-)

One of the biggest things I'd like to see in RO:HOS is probably one of the simplest things for them to do. I'll like to be able to see my own legs!

OK, so I know most games don't do this, the first RO certainly didn't do it, and neither have the CoD games that I use to play. But for one reason or another I've really come to associate being able to see my legs as the hallmark of a good game. It adds immeasurably to a player

Yeah there have been a few people wishing for true first person in HOS.

I agree it would be a great feature.

 

[Mr Milkman]

I find it amusing that we actually have to make threads asking for this feature!

Most games just never bothered with them because they felt they were a waste of system resources for lower end computers for something you'd barely see or notice.

Also, when you crouch I hope you can deal with your knees and legs getting in the way of your view and possibly getting shot by someone you would have normally seen if it wern't for your legs.

Realistic?

Perhaps..... but tunnel vision isn't very realistic, thus you should balance out with as much viewable area on screen as possible.

I remember in the old forums I used to talk about it being nice to have viewable legs and such, but it's not that important and if they don't put them in because of poly counts or resource intensive for the additional animation sequences, etc. then I won't lose any sleep over it.

Although if they have locational damage and such in the new RO, it's be kind cool if you can shoot someone in the foot or just blow it off and then you look first person and see that foot damaged and your walking is hindered as you hobble on your bloody stump.

 

[Gaston!]

Cpt-Praxius, they probably won't put them in for just that reason. And I'm not going to lose sleep over it, if they don't put them in, I just think it would be cool if they did. Or perhaps as a graphical option? That way computers that can't handle high poly counts, or people who just don't have to deal with it.

I don't know, it's just one of those things that makes me laugh when I look down and don't see a body. Like when someone switches teams right next to you so their character drops dead. "OMG! Fred's had a heart attack!"

I'd like to see 1st person full body awareness aswell, like I yet stated several times in other threads.
Sure I can deal with the problem of lower body parts blocking view, just like your hands and the weapon do.

 

[IVIARSHALL]

Nice idea! For low computers, or those who don't like... there should be a option to just turn it off .

 

[Flogger23m]

Doubt it would kill performance that much.

Would be a nice feature.

 

[SiC-Disaster]

I dont see how being able to see your legs should block your view in any way tbh.
I've played several games having this feature, and that never happened to me in any of them.
You only see them if you look down, which is not something you do in a combat situation.
Next to that, even if you take a kneel you still look 'up' towards the enemy and not down at your feet.
The only way to block your view would be sitting on your butt with your knees up in front of you, which isnt something i imagine would be in the game
Otherwise legs would never be in your view.

If your PC can handle something like that I'm sure it can't handle Heroes of Stalingrad AT ALL.

hes first time poster make some respect.

nah u got me wrong, I wasn't making fun of the OP, I was making fun of the fact that people need to request being able to view legs, especially in a game whose selling point is based upon realism. Having legs should be STANDARD in today's FPS's. I totally agree, we better be able to view our legs... i wanna be able to shoot myself in the foot like i do in real life

 

[FatFewl]

No please don't bother adding legs. Pointless, creates a drain of time and resources, may cause detraction in other areas of teh game.

 

[Gaston!]

Pointless? This is a game that is trying to simulate realism, and I count being able to see my legs as realistic, and important to complete emersion in the game. And like I said, this would be a cinch for TWI. All they'd really have to do is add body objects to what is viewable by the player's camera, and then set an option to revers this. Easy peasy, wouldn't drain on nuffin'.

My biggest support for having the same 1st as 3rd person body. Is that clipping issues would be non existant. Basically showing something different in the 3rd person model than your 1st person model sees.

But it should be possible to solve this problem.

 

[Zetsumei]

jup it should be and i hope anyway that that issue is gone. But if both models are the same then you just know for 100% certain that at all times those 2 things are the same.

 

[Cpt-Praxius]

If they added and you have the option to remove them or keep them then I'd be cool with that.

If I like them in the game then I can keep them..... but if they screw up with my game play, then I can take them out.

The thing about blocking my view has more to do with situations where I'm in a higher position then my enemy, sometimes almost directly above them looking down.

If my big boots or my knee is blocking my view, then I can easily be gunned down.

Now sure some may say that's realistic that you can't see through your feet/legs...... but what is also realistic is that in real life I can shift my feet/legs to places that clear my view.... you can not do this with a static pre-animated pair of legs.

 

[lyosha]

RnL has it and ive got a bollocks computer but its no more a drain than any other source game.

 

[US92]

Yeah I'd like to see my own leg in the game, after all, Heroes of Stalingrad's major goal is for realism.
