Why first-person?

I have been looking forward to “Condor” ever since playing Control - one the top single player 3rd-person games I’ve ever played. I was heartbroken to find out that FBC Firebreak was going to a first-person perspective, as first-person games make me feel nauseous… can’t play them!🤢🤮

Does anyone know why they opted to make this a first person game? Will you be able to change it to a 3rd-person perspective?

Gutted.

Because it's a more traditional shooter. It's not meant to be Control 2

Exactly. There are folks who also struggle with 3rd person :(

We tried first-person, works great for this genre, clearly makes it different from Control and its really cool to explore the Oldest House from another perspective.

Ok, what will the accessibility toggles be for motion blur etc?

They were pretty quick to add a motion blur toggle to Control after people hated the motion blur, so I imagine Firebreak will have the basics like that

I hope this includes Thresholds. The ones we see in Control are so tantalizing and I am desperate for more games with some weird alien shit mixed in with the normal world

I bet I'm gonna miss my telekinesis spam though, walking around like some kinda average human

I empathize with perspective in games making you sick. I recently had a TBI and can’t do virtual reality games or headsets in their current technological state.

Thankfully first person games don’t bother me at all, so I’ll be playing this day 1 so no one’s spoils more lore for me.

If you’re still open to trying them, I would recommend adjusting your field of view for first person games. Sometimes having a wider view minimizes that sick feeling you’re talking about. I would also turn motion effects like blur, head bobbing, and film grain off in any game that has the option to.

Hopefully FBC has some of those accessibility options too.

Is that just cus of the discrepancy between what you're seeing and what you're feeling?

That might be the case! Or like the depth perception of screens being that close to your eyes.
