Yeah, that was said like 4 years back. Same applies for NG+. Both confirmed to be not coming multiple times.

The game doesn’t need 3rd person. It works just fine in 1st person.
briandemodulated
Good. I feel like the availability of third person perspective in vehicles is an immersion breaker as well.
Bubbaganewsh
Third person games have their place but Cyberpunk isn’t one of those, it plays very well as first person.
ThenRevolution479
Cyberpunk is designed to be enjoyed in first person perspective
VergeOfMeltdown
I get that though, making _good_ third person animations for everything would mean a crapload of unnecessary work
FrancisWolfgang
add second person perspective where you see the game through the eyes of nearby NPCs while still controlling V
TheRealMcDan
The game is almost five years old. It’s time to accept that certain things aren’t happening.
Calm-Medicine-3992
IMHO, games should only ever pick one and no game should facilitate swapping outside of special circumstances (like driving in Cyberpunk would be rough if it restricted you to first person.
BPOPR
Is this gonna stop the endless posts about it?
Patty_Pat_JH
There are scenes in Cyberpunk that show why it’s a first person title, and playing it in third person brings down some of their weight.
CH4OT1CN1C3
Didnt they show the third person before and it’s not a complete character model? Just like arms and legs
Mc_Nuggie
If you want 3rd person just play GTA or something. This game does NOT need 3rd person.
DismalMode7
sure… cdpr just can’t wait to make basically every V animations again and all interactive cutscenes animations from scratch as well….
FlyingWolfThatFell
The issue is that third person games require to be designed around it. Including animations and environments especially indoors. Or they could go the bethesda route and slap on a very janky one
Galf2
Every time someones asks for 3rd person in cyberpunk, a kitty dies

I mean obviously right? I was never expecting nor hoping for this.

i really appreciate on their firm stance on this, glad that they aren’t willing to compromise their vision
Squat_Cobbler89
I was hoping for ps5 pro support. But I feel it’s pretty set in stone that’s not going to happen
Soccermad23
Adding in a third person mode is a massive undertaking – they would have to effectively re-write most of the game plus all the testing to ensure it works perfectly. This is not something you simply patch in.
fantaribo
As. They. Should.
No 3rd person thank you
GaymerGuy47
Just get on a motorcycle dummy (sarcasm)

Who remembers when there were talks about online
Mooseify124
Not sure how people think third person would be an improvement. Just think about cutscenes and it becomes pretty obvious why the game is in first.
spaghettimonzta
should’ve ask if they want to do a web 3.0 cyberpunk with multiplayer and full VR compatibility
OdyZeusX
I would love them to fix character shadows, just that. It’s stuff from nightmares.
ShyrokaHimaa
While I prefer third person over first person in rpgs, I made peace with that when they said it won’t have it way before release. 😀
Palanki96
i wish more games did this, so tired of so many devs pandering to third person fans
Sambro_X
Adding third person to the game would be like when they added first person to GTA V. It’s a fun gimmick but no one actually plays like that
Key_Pepper_5745
Is there no mod for that already?
SlimeGOD1337
Hopefully no 3rd person for the next Cyberpunk game. 1st person just feels so imersive and especially in Cyberpunk. Never did I think in the countless hours of playing that I want a 3rd person mode.
I even did most of the driving in first person.
MoofDeMoose
3rd person would be awful for this game. As much as I love the game, Vs body distorts hard when doing most things. You just can’t see it 😂
ChronoTravisGaming
The perspective that a game is played in is designed early on. A game, its controls, interface, and systems are built around it. It isn’t easy to make it work well in both. Usually, the main perspective works really well, while the other is kind of janky. The Elder Scrolls games are a good example.

Good.

Bro it’s a first person game. Did you complain to Nintendo about Tears of The Kingdom not having first person?
MatrixBunny
Don’t think this will apply to Orion either then.
SailorBaconX
We’ve known that 3rd person n NG+ was never plan and still the same people asking for it, even this late into the game…
Give it a fucking rest people.
Technical-Shame4185
Add first person
bassistheplace246
It’s almost like the game wasn’t made with it in mind or something like that 🤔
me-be-bored
Wait, people actually want a third person? I thought it’s a joke
AlphusUltimus
People tried. It’s just not possible. The skeleton is too deformed even when walking to conform to the 1st person camera.
solidus0079
If you mess with camera mode you’ll see why. 3rd person is definitely janky.
primsx
“Had my hometown next” clowns like one this probably.
Double_Cleff
They also said the new game is first person so
Wintlink-
the gameplay of cyberpunk is fps, it would be a really bad game in third person. Why do people want every game to be everything ?
Beginning-Pace-1426
The entire game was based around the first person perspective.
You’re not meant to be able to see behind you. You’re not meant to be able to see around corners. The cutscenes, the entire art direction, is based on the first person perspective.
The entire story of this game, the ambience, the atmosphere, the conversations are meant to be experienced through your (V’s) eyes, you’re supposed to *be* V, you’re not supposed to be a floating camera controlling an avatar. You’re not meant to see things that your character can not, and you’re not meant to see things from a different angle than your character sees them. You’re meant to experience the scope and scale of events through your character’s eyes.
I mean the amount of work it would take makes it not even within the realm of possibility anyway, and they definitely won’t be putting in the work required for that when it HELLA waters down everything they did to make the game what it is.
ProjectRe-Destroy
One of the dumbest things ever. They’re known for third person game. All the customization only to not be able to see my character interact in that world is so dumb. The reason the gave was for immersion. Euuuh maybe let people decide for themselves what immersion is. I hate FPS games. Still haven’t finished the game for that reason
