JoWood Productions og Wings simulations giver nu “efter for presset”, som de så flot selv siger, og har valgt at tilføje “rigtig” first-person-view (i modsætning til third-person-view) i deres kommende realistiske kamp-spil, Söldner: Secret Wars. Wings Simulations’ chef – Wings Simulations – udtaler, at man har lyttet til gamerne og taget den lidt overraskende beslutning at lave om på grundideen. Hvordan udviklerne havde forestillet sig “et realistisk spil” uden first-person forbliver en gåde (måske a la Splinter Cell). Vi er klar med et par screenshots, der fremviser de nye tiltag.

SÖLDNER: SECRET WARS WILL OFFER FIRST AND THIRD PERSON VIEW



Monday 24th February 2003 – JoWooD Productions is proud to announce that due to public demand, their forthcoming Online Military Tactical Shooter, Söldner: Secret Wars will offer an optional first-person perspective viewpoint.

Initially, Söldner: Secret Wars was designed to only offer a third person view because of the incorporation of stealth elements in gameplay. However, the huge online community that have followed each stage of Söldner: Secret Wars development expressed a desire for a first person view. In an attempt to create the ultimate gameplay experience, the developer, Wings Simulations, have listenened carefully and have now included an optional first person view. To make perspective changes as easy as possible, gamers will be able to switch view at any time with a simple key stroke.


Teut Weidemann, Managing Director of Wings Simulations said: “We have listened intently to the opinions of gamers who have posted their comments on the secretwars.net forum and have implemented this key gameplay feature as a direct result. By reacting to the comments of gamers, we aim to make a game that the online community will have a huge desire to want to play.”
