As the title says DICE plans to not create a third person view except when your in vehicles.
If you ask me that really stinks. :(

What do you think? Will the game be as fun without a third person view?
It was to be expected. DICE specialize in first-person shooters.
Rubs me the wrong way initially, but what the hey, I'l go with it.
All I heard was that they said it was a "first person shooter", so don't jump to conclusions just yet.
I have seen another video about this yesterday. I had heard FPV was confirmed but not in a way that meant there would not be TPV. I believe the video I originally saw had an EA twitter post to back up there statement, but I have no idea where this guy found info about vehicles having TPV.
99% of games with vehicles have a great multitude of views, I can't imagine EA forcing players to use a cockpit/front view for vehicles. I mean, it's not a simulation...
I hear there is a rumor that EA SWBF's beta/alpha has released to some lucky folks. So unless a member can get their hands on one we will have to wait until 2015.
welp, if they announced that 'the game will be a first person shooter' then I have little to no hope for it having a TPS option, which saddens me.
IGN sort of confirms it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42lqUurWeo0 // http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/10/28/star-wars-battlefront-launching-holiday-2015
I'm sure DICE wants to give Star Wars fans the best they can, but deep inside I feel like the appeal of money FPS games offer is strong.
Well, we wont know until it is released. I would not worry so much about it now.
I, too, would be disappointed if it does not have a third person view, as first person make me motion sick. :sick:
Don't jump to conclusions just yet.. Even if that is the plan, we still have enough time to petition for a 3rd person mode.. Christmas 2K15 :dry:
I strongly dislike the idea of not being able to see my own player get fragged in the face.
I'm sure we'll find a way to hack 3rd person in the game (or mod if they allow that) eventually anyways, im not too worried about it. (SWRC for example).

The extent of "modding" any DICE game these days has been limited to hi-res texture reskins, though each time DICE updated the game, the mod would become non-playable online. So in short, modding is possible on a single-player level, but a multiplayer mod is next to impossible (rather, possible, but it will die very fast).
well.. certain limitations are more easily broken when you know binary assembly, and a few other little tricks ;)

Interesting that it's the most asked-for feature, with single player Instant Action appearing to be coming second. If they're implementing one, I hope they implement the other.
So, it's pretty much a given we won't be getting a CW era in this game, at least not at launch. I'm nowhere near as upset about that as I would be if there were no Instant Action single player mode or third person mode. After all, CW could either be added in DLC, or in a future game (perhaps as a side-series ALA Bad Company)

Thank you for posting this! Im glad this video they made was relevant this time. They should keep that up.
PSA, The only content of the 15 minute video is just that a lead worker on the game retweeted a fan's request for 3rd person.
True, but that shows that third person is not completely out of the question.
Without third person, I would not even bother with this game, even if you gave it to me for free. If it is not TPS, how can they even call it SWBF? If it is FPS only, then it is just another shoot'em up game among thousands of others.
That is just a rumor. There is nothing that says it will be exclusively first person. All they said was that it's a "First Person Shooter", and the original SWBF also falls under that category. All this is saying is that there will be first person. In fact, they said earlier that there will be a "third person component" (note the emphasis on "component"), which means at least SOMETHING in the game is third person (though not necessarily the whole game). Until more information is released, we cannot be certain about anything.
Well yes Commander Awesome there is a "third person component" confirmed, it is the vehicles, they will definitely be in third person view. It just sounds like the rest of the game will be in first person view, unfortunately. So, no third person? Its just a SWBF knock off...
Remember when everyone was concerned that it might just be a Battlefield re-skinned? Well it sounds like that is going to happen, at least in part.
I did not hear anyone saying it's the vehicles. Nothing is confirmed.
H'mm, that is what I thought I heard, but of course you are correct, there is nothing truly confirmed until we see actual gameplay.

By "anyone" you mean an actual SWBF dev, then yes. I haven't heard of anybody saying that. But if by anyone you mean pretty much anyone you can trust, then check the video I posted. I believe it's in that.
But all the battlefield games have a third person view for vehicles. It would ruin vehicles for most players because FPS in a vehicle (for shooters) sucks. The only real reason to really use FPS in vehicles is for simulations, when you are trying to get as real as possible.
Also, this is something we should think about. There may not be player controlled vehicles at all.
So yes, you may very well be right. It might not be confirmed. But don't expect it to be missing. :)
Of course they're those people who believe in rumors and I can't believe some of you believe everything IGN says lol....We don't even have a release date yet. In fact we haven't seen any game play and have no idea what it looks like.
Anyways the new Star Wars movie trailer is coming out Friday, you guys should be more worried about that.

We were actually pretty much done with this until somebody bumped the thread.
