    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.

      @RobertLovesGames  Місяць тому +254

      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 Місяць тому +17

      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

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.

    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.

    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.

    • @RobertLovesGames

    I think that the advantage could be the better perspective of surfaces which allows you to quickly adapt to terrain as seen on 3:33, you could cover yourself by simply going backwards, something which couldnt be seen from top perspective

    • @RobertLovesGames

    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.

  • @moffxanatos6376
    @moffxanatos6376 24 дні тому +1

    First person/top down toggle would be a, no pun intended, game changer. That is with some adjustments to make it work.
    Top down for officers (to keep the strategy) and backline, and first person for the grunts on the front? I think there's potential as an option.
    As an aside I definitely started hearing the Battlefield 1942 theme in my head, especially during the naval portions.

    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  Місяць 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.

    Im not sure if you are or not, but being able to shoulder and aim a gun would probably make playing in FP a little more tolerable.
    Sort of a trade off. You get a better ability to aim, maybe some kind of controlled movement in VR, and handling guns like they are guns. Meanwhile for Top Down its still foxhole. But you get the better ability to drive, handle management of stuff, and maybe have better aim than VR plays or something. Idk. This seems like a neat concept to expand on if Foxhole was actually designed to handle VR.
