Re: RE: RE: [GD-Design] FPS console controls

[<ge...@ub...>]

sounds more like design decisions that were made in respect to pace and player motivations, compared to simple 'presentation' decisions (first person view, etc)

if we create a game where we don't actually REWARD the player with mindless shooting (as if we need more of that these days) and actually let them enjoy these fantastic gameworlds we create...

semantics really.

i didn't really consider deus ex a fps until the later stages in the game when they just throw impossible badguys at you...

the rest was pretty RPG, just happened to be first person...
