    If this concept came out as an FPS I have no doubt it would be on top charts everywhere. The logistics is what planetside2 was missing.

      I bet people would really enjoy it as well if it had a good logistics mechanic involved. And I agree if Planetside had anything close to the logistics that Foxhole had I probably would have never left Planetside.

      Honestly I would love this. But its surely difficult? I mean if you want to make it like foxhole just FPS then you still gotta make it so that you don't have unlimited field of view probably as u do know already. Seems like hard to do idk lol. But it would still be fun doing all this in FPS. Building scrapping or digging trenches. Or even driving as logi

      ​@@JustNick23 That's somewhat easy to work around. Just make sure that there is an actual fog around the player at the maximum draw distance the devs allow and have it so binoculars or stuff like NVG are the only things that can bypass it. Also, with proper terrain building, it wouldn't be this much of a problem anyway, as there would be natural barriers for the player's view.

    The thing that I find most impressive is that the models and textures actually work quite well at this range and view. Even with things like the empty skybox and mostly flattened landscape, everything still looks pretty good. Shows you how much care the art team put into making everything.

      What I'm curious. since first person mode is available for VR the transition to full 1st person mode shouldn't be too difficult to implement and 3rd person could still be available too.
      honestly if it was usable for an average player, I think that could create extensive boost to player population as the new best world at war game.
      I think devs should really check it out

    There is absolutely a minor advantage in that line of sight is trivial to judge -- in typical Foxhole gameplay, a common source of confusion and death is not knowing that some enemy was able to shoot you because you thought some interceding object was tall enough to block their line of sight when it was not.
    Given that the mod trades this rather minor ability for the absolutely colossal drawback of not being able to see anything that isn't in your character's line of sight, I wouldn't call it too much of a competitive advantage unless people found a way to trigger this perspective on and off freely while remaining in comfortable desktop controls all the while, which doesn't look to be possible with UEVR alone.

    • @ScheelAngel
      @ScheelAngel 4 місяці тому +20

      Yeah once you launch UEVR into the game, only way to stop it closes the game. You can get the top down view with it but swapping between that and first person isn’t fast, and at that point you’re just playing foxhole with extra motion sickness

      i wonder if it makes shooting between trenches any easier. say theres 2 people across from each other standing. usually it goes back and forth for longer than it should, but if one person can see just the head and none of the body, wouldnt he have an easier time?

    • @waasar

      I can tell you from experience, although I'm no programmer and I haven't tweaked every setting possible in UEVR/Foxhole, that aiming is incredibly hard in VR.
      Even just being a medic (the only thing I've found that I can do decently in VR) It can be hard to aim your medical bag at them, especially when your framerate drops into the 10s. (Great PC, Foxhole just runs worse than Cyberpunk VR... or like anything I've ran. Lol)
      But oh my gosh, after putting almost 1800 hours into the game, I can't tell you how much getting a boots-on-the-ground experience means to me. Haha
      It's my first VRMMO, and it's better than I could imagine... Even though it's the worst thing ever, and saying it "works" counts as a sin, I think.

      ​@@RobertLovesGames Isn't that the point of the trenches and top down perspective though? In most other games, trenches aren't all that important because it's super easy to just tap them in the head (Whereas in real war it's a lot more difficult) - The fact that you're hard to hit in a trench is the whole point, if people could just aim right at you the entire fortification system would be much less useful and engagement distance would increase massively while density decreased massively.

      I would have to disagree having played similar FPS games like Hell Let Loose. Being down on the ground, right in the middle of the action while all around you chaos unfolds. Not being able to tell if your buddy has been hit while you charge straight into enemy fire. Watching the towering metal war machines fire rounds into the trenchlines. It's a different feeling of big. Seeing everything unfold is nice but I prefer the unknown and listening to the war stories after the fact.

    This has amazing potential for vr only, with more disadvantages to using first person than the top down view, it would allow foxhole to keep its main visuals but would add so much for content creators or casual players. Imagine piloting aircraft, or driving trucks, imagine experiencing drowned vale in vr first person.

    the only advantage I could think of is simply being able to see players at a farther distance. from the top-down view, your sight is limited to what the screen can fit, but in first person there is really no limit to how far you can see so it gives you an edge at maneuvering around players who can't see you yet.

      @@James-ep2bx There is no tradeoff. Changing the camera view doesn't magically make the draw distance increase. The fog of war still exists and would just end up looking like a wall. Enemy players will still appear at the same distance. You would be able to see the max distance without aiming forward however, which could be seen as an advantage... But using vr controls, and not being able to see all around you at all times, I think would more than offset that advantage... If this were an advantage it would be more popular, but I doubt even 1 percent of players are using this FPS mod... it is cool though.

    Honestly I think if devman comes out with foxhole 2 with it being an FPS instead of isometric, it might top the charts for a while. If the mechanics are right, it could experience a similar hype that Battlebit did. It would require lots of changes, and while it would change bits of what we love about the game, I do not think it would change the feel of scale and belonging to your faction one bit. I've seen you comment that you would not do logi in FP mode, however imagine how thrilling delivering crucial parts to frontline BB's would suddenly get, while driving through artillery. You've even said freighting was much more scenic than before. If the game was actually made to be experienced in this way, it could honestly combine Battlefield, Truck Sims, and Base Builders into a singular, tight experience, with regiments being the key to unlock unparalleled player longevity.

    Tbh, i love this game because I can play it relaxed most of the time unlike playing smt like an actual fps and yes it is so cool to see the game in first person. Idk but if the devs give this mode a bit of support because it might be funny to just do smt like going behind even my lines since they don't have top-down and sneaking in vr would be very funny with vc ( I already love talking with enemy players when doing something goofy). So maybe the devs could support this by giving the vr players a different smt like an MC-VR player model with floating arms and smt like that (co-existing modes) I mean the game isn't fully first-person vr but if you wanna take that challenge and have some fun moment like I said would be smt the devs could give these guys made this some support and add smt to the game that players don't have to do but would be a really cool and exciting way to play the game if you want like Minecraft - the game isn't built around vr but if you want the option it's there.
    So what do you think should this be a light suggestion to the devs?

    • @RobertLovesGames
      @RobertLovesGames  4 місяці тому

      Maybe? I would bet the devs wouldn't have time or resources to put into this without some outside help from the player base. It's a really small dev team and I'm sure they have other things to focus on. But it would be cool if they did!
      The light suggestion would be just more players wanting it and trying to set it up themselves honestly. If the player base can build most of it themselves and the devs just add a sprinkle of what the VR players need then I could see them maybe doing something. But again I don't think this type of thing is on their radar at all.

    The idea of Foxhole Dev's adding an official First Person perspective, perhaps as a toggle option, would drastically change how battles are fought, or from a cinematic standpoint do the opposite. Really cool. Since the isometric perspective and 1st person both have their benefits, one is better for close quarters while the other is better for commanding, sniping, etc. Which balances each other out.

      That's the thing I like about it. It's different. Plus it's designed for that view, which I believe they did to make the low level graphics look better. A game like this, with a persitent world, and large player counts is really only feasible with low level graphics, and so making it top down i think is a clever way to make the graphics more tolerable. For me, the game mechanics and the persistent war is what makes it awesome, not the graphics, or viewpoint necessarily. You should try it out, Steam gives you two hours before you can refund it .

    It doesn't look like this currently enables better aiming - but only because the controls are so clunky/unofficial. I imagine if the devs wanted to actually add official support for VR play then players would expect smoother and more accurate aiming/controls, and this would most likely become an easier way to learn to aim accurately than the system currently in normal foxhole.

      It does not make aiming better. And for sure if the devs wanted to focus on some of the development for this then they could make it better.

    I would use 1st person perspective for 'war correspondents' or basically, front-line reporters.
