Re: Cockpit View - should it be forced? More options.


I just re-watched the vid showing footage captured in-game and I'm more convinced now that the cockpit should be on for everyone. Both the Gauss Rifle and Vanguard models drawn apperaed to be real 3D objects and they were affected by real-time lighting and shadows. It made a HUGE difference in adding to the immersion aspect.

Looking at the Mossie cockpit in the OP it seems to have the same lighting, so it's definitely more than just a press-on decal like the overlays you'd get with old Vectrex Games. TBH the Reaver footage looked almost like a different game.

However, I still might be okay with people being able to remove it as a sidegrade.
