There has been a lot of controversy around Cyberpunk 2077 ever since the announcement, because of the first-person perspective. Many users demanded to have a separate TPP mode. It was earlier revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 will have a few instances of third-person perspective as well. However, that’s not the case anymore.
A thread on the CD Projekt Red forums reveals that CDPR has completely removed all TPP instances from the game. The game will solely be on FPP on release. This is something the community has not taken very positively. There have been numerous discussions on Cyberpunk Subreddit and Games Subreddit, criticizing the same. That’s owing to the fact that the game has a robust character builder. But, the presence of FPP throughout the game nullifies it’s existence, since the only time one can see the character is when he is in front of a mirror.
Apart from that, there will be certain moves or a few events where you will be able to see the character, but as far as cutscenes are concerned, the very few instances that were present have been purged. While the perspective absolutely doesn’t decide the quality of a game, it’s something which certain players are very skeptical about. That being said, some people prefer FPP solely due to the immersion it offers.
Oh boy, major changes telling us the game is going through development hell. Gee. Wonder who saw this coming?
