Alien 3rd person view, yay or nay?

[Vermillion]

And it wasn't me this time!

[Still Collating...]

Wasn't expecting this one...

Third person? Good idea, bad implementation because of the bad wall walking and map traversal.

[The Old One]

As an idea, why not? I enjoy the option to switch perspectives myself.

[The Kurgan]

As a human rather no, as an alien yes.

[The Old One]

I totally understand that, if done correctly first person is considerably more immersive.

[The Kurgan]

That's the way I see it too.

There are some great survival horror games in 3rd person view, but I don't think it will translate well to Alien.

[The Cruentus]

Nay, while I do see what that they were trying to do, ultimately it would have been better in first person...not that it would have made the game much better.
