Looks great. Gonna buy it day one. Probably would have even if they never showed any gameplay based solely on how much I like Witcher 3.
If you are unhappy that there is no third person option, best make your voice heard. I think it's probably early enough in the development cycle to where they could probably still add such an option if demand was loud enough.
I don't think they will. It seems a third person view would break the game and I think its' far in development for major gameplay elements to be changed.
They seem pretty damn eager to have the game in first person and from the gameplay, it's catering towards that.
Overall, the game looks impressive and it might be the best "world" ever created. It will most likely have a kick ass story and meaningful impressive side quests to boot. Also, they are killing it in the immersive factor. However, the combat looks OK so it will be interesting it can hold up.
Beautiful world, meh combat, or great combat and bare bones world. Always one or the other.
When we could have had both, if they were smart enough to work together. Can you imagine Platinum put their combat engine into AAA titles?

Sounds like Witcher 3, then. "Everything amazing except the gameplay, which is merely good." I'm fine with that. Those other things are usually more important.
You make good points about first person. I dunno how far along this game is or when the release date might be. If they don't have a built in third person camera, I bet modders will make one for the PC release.
Holy fuk, that looked good. I needed this after how disappointed I was in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. This is on another level. I hope there's a decent amount of stealth options and builds. I need me some infiltration, and I don't want to constantly go through shooting galleries every quest.

It's difficult because of how complex RPGs are by themselves but to add good enough animations that are a necessity for good combat and also keep it balanced? No developer is putting that much effort.
Just look at Nier Automata. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely game but the hack&slash in it is shallow as shit.
Yeah, same deal with Red Dead Redemption. Serviceable gameplay, but doesn't hold a candle to your Max Paynes or Vanquish..
I guess Dragon's Dogma/Dark Souls is the exception. You get a very pretty environment, and fantastic gameplay.
