Cockpit view vs 3rd person view.
We all played at least one video game that featured racing,but in the world we live in,we see it in different perspectives,even in games.Here are the 2 most popular camera angles along with their advantages.
Cockpit view
In this view,it places you on the driver’s seat of the car you’re driving virtually.This camera angle/perspective may help in making those strong feelings,creating faster solutions when it comes to this view.You can also see what’s happening on front of your car,faster than being on 3rd person view.
3rd person view
In this perspective,your camera is placed a few meters away from your car.In this view,you can prevent accidents more often than being in cockpit view,it helps you see what’s happening on your blind spot.Is he coming for my booty?No?Great!
My conclusion
In cockpit view,you’ll be able to react quickly due to the feeling while in 3rd person perspective,tou’ll be able to prevent accidents very often so…I’ve decided.
Personally,I’d recommend the 3rd person perspective but,it all goes down to personal preference.What’s your side?cockpit or 3rd person?Why?
Comments
When I’m just having fun, I’m in 1st person. But when I want to win a race I used 3rd person.
3rd person
How is this a popular post? Seriously?
Because it’s a pretty good post.
Cockpit 24/7
Bumper view because nothing blocks your sight
Mostly playing sims.Sims are meant to be realistic, So until we see seats on hoods or levitating behind the car, I’m stuck to dashboard/cockpit.
I used to be playing in 3rd person, but thanks for FailRace i tried playing on 1st person now and it feels great, looks like you driving in real car.
3rd person
3rd person for racing, cockpit view for crusing
I guess 1st person for racing but I normally go 3rd person for free roam or road trips
