Will we see our feet?

[Leopardi]

It is possible on UE3 (MOH airborne, america's army 3), will we see them in RO2 too?

 

[MEGADETHTHRETH]

I'd say its unlikely, the first one was just a weapon and hands and arms.

I'd say its unlikely, the first one was just a weapon and hands and arms.

But it was UE 2.5 so it wasn't possible. Now it is possible.

 

[RO.Player]

it certainly would add to the imersion, and it would be cool if you badage your leg and if you look down you could see the animation

 

[Ralfst3r]

Didn't look like it in the Gamescom footage, but It would be pretty sweet if they implemented it. Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway did a pretty good job.

 

[gyps]

Not sure i want see mine got holes in me boots

 

[slavek]

If we can see our legs, I want to be able to kick enemies that are down on the ground.

Looks like 1st person animations are already done, so I doubt it, as that'll probably require a lot of redoing of it.

Of course Ramm was asking about TrackIR a while ago, which works really well with full body modeling, ala ARMAII.

 

[Switchblade]

it depends what side you choose

 

[shadowwill]

Id love it if we saw our bodies, gives you more of a sense of actually having a character there than just a floating weapon. Plus, its realistic is it not? i think thats more than enough reason for including it.

I don't see what first person animations have to do with seeing your legs. AFAIK you make the 3rd person player model visible in the first person -- at least that's how I've seen it done in other games like MOH:Airborne.

I would love to see this added but its one of those things that is just icing on the cake.

Exactly. If they've made high detail 1st person player models, why would they throw them away to put in the 3rd player model.

We know it's a separate 1st person animation than 3rd person, since we see 1st person bolting, and 1st person double hand sprint holding on Germans.

Remember, it's not just the feet that'll have to be modeled, but the shoulders, torso, etc...

 

[LemoN]

After playing a lot of OFP, ArmA and ArmA2 I have to say that I don't really care about this feature.

Oh well I suppose if you want full Track IR functionality, they'll have to model that stuff for it to look right. But there are ways you can do it, where you have first person models for the gun, arms, and hands, and have the 3rd person model only be the legs and lower torso. For an example of this, download the HL2 mod Resistance and Liberation. Like it or hate it, the devs did it the way I showed above and it looks fine. But again if you are using track IR, it would look wierd probably.

I agree. Especially since they added that weapon collision system that will give you the impression of that you are actually holding an object, not just a model that is stuck to the camera. Not having the legs visible would kind of kill that effect.

Don't forget that if the first person body is the same as the 3rd person body that a lot of potential issues are somewhat resolved. I hope that at least the camera in the players head is synced with the 3rd person model.

Like in RO for instance there is a bug where you are laying prone in 3rd person while you're standing up in first person .

Same here. Even if it is just legs like in RnL, it is better than nothing. It really does add immersion.

 

[Nimsky]

Yeah, the camera doesn't even have the be synced exactly to the model like in ArmA 2. The lower body / legs can be purely cosmetical yet still add a lot to the experience.
