Link To Troy Baker Interview: • Can You Let Me Know If...

Wait why has this only got under 200 views? This is a great video, you did a great job, I've almost finished this game and I bloody love it. They did a great job, first person makes this style of game feel like a breath of fresh air. Harkens back to the Butcher Bay days. Love it. Also you did a great job with the Troy baker interview, you just come across as nervous and a little green but that's exactly how you should be until you've done a billion of these and it becomes second nature. So yea 100% normal. I've been interviewed a zillion times and I always find it endearing and refreshing when someone is fresh, new and not firing off questions like a bloody robot. So keep it up, well done! 🤘👍

Another reason, for first person: To avoid the accusations of being an Uncharted/ Tomb Raider clone which borrow greatly from Indiana Jones

Another reason was that there was not enough space to have 3rd person camera in tight corridors of battleship or pyramid. We are not talking about platformer here. This is not typical "console game" where most important thing is that player moves on TV when using pad. This is more like traditional computer game. They were largely first person after moved away from point and click adventures.

great consensus. Subscribed!

Emperor's Tomb and Staff of Kings was fine with being 3rd Person.

[@theresidentalien]

Except neither of those are very good.

[@gruntaxeman3740]

And they were console like games, more platformer and action and not like Indiana Jones character and games were traditionally.
