The thing that impressed me the most is that it "looks like a real game". While they kept repeating that a lot of the stuff on display is work in progress, I have to say that it looked pretty damn impressive for a title that has no release date yet.Gameplay looks exquisite.. You can tell they have put everything they have into it.
The driving mechanics don't look great at the moment, but I'm hoping that is because of the pre-alpha nature.
Opposite for me. I cannot stand third person in any game that clearly could work in first person.Even more then at the anouncement I am even more disppointed it isnt a third person game. Personally I just cant enjoy FPS games.

Because I don't look at myself from above and behind in the real world. I look through my eyes. I expect games to let me do that. I do play 3rd person games but not if I think they could work as well in 1st person. That's why I didn't buy Anthem. I downloaded a demo looked through the options couldn't find 1st person, tried the game and couldn't understand why it was locked to 3rd person. Deleted it and I will never buy it.I know my opinion is not supported by many. It is weird, but the larger pov immerses me more into a world. The limited pov just gives me a feeling of tunnelvision. In a 3d world with height, climbing jumping all seem unnatural to me. Especially climbing something, they require you walking up against a wall or tree.
I am curious though, why dont you like third person view?

I get your point about FOV and agree. In Destiny 2 if there is any jumpy platformy thing to do I equip a sword. That switches me to 3rd person and I can see where I'm supposed to jump.
I suppose the choice of perspective (1st or 3rd person) realy depends on what the developer is trying to do with the main character and how you are supposed to relate to them. In some 1st person games, the idea of using that perspective can sometimes be to draw you into being that character, you see thier world in the same way you do our own. Whereas with 3rd person perspectives you are always controling someone else, you may be able to customise that character and even make them resemble you to some degree, but the feeling is of controling someone else from a distance rather than being them.
I personaly do feel that first person games draw me into the character in a different way than 3rd person games do. Both have thier place and both can not just have an effect on gameplay but also on the story telling too and certain games will suit one perspective over the other.
Wow... this place is dead quiet. Am I the only one extremely excited about this game or what?
This most likely will win many GOTY awards, if it is actually released this year.
Now that the dreaded day 91 has passed (the last two delays have been exactly 91 days before the release date), seems like it actually will be out in November.
Anyway, here are a few of the latest videos.

I wouldn’t worry about it. My worry is that it will not live up to the hype. Seems to good to be true, but CDPR has a good track record, so I hope they deliver again.Game looks great, just seems like most of the buzz has been around the new xbox and playstation, hopefully it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
I'm extremely excited for this game, but there's not much discussion going on here haha. It's a PC purchase for me. All of the people who have had a few hours with it have given great feedback so hopefully it will live up to the hype.I wouldn’t worry about it. My worry is that it will not live up to the hype.
