From MP designer Brent McLeod (Scriptacus): www.reddit.com/r/titanfall/comments/6o9cxy/respawn_ama/dkg8an5 "Re first person Titan embarking: We did further discuss, and even prototyped it shortly after launch. The amount of work required to fully implement the feature (multiple entry animations and high fidelity cockpits for all of the MP titans) was out of scope for the resources we have available."

Alix1723 I think they wanted an all around polished experience. And basically it would have taken so much work to coordinate all of the possible ways you can enter the Titan without it being a quick jerk to where the animation begins. While I personally think it would have been neat, I'm happy they're aware of their limitations and went with a more fluid looking embark.

So the correct way to take this statement is that "We already made the game, we are adding it to Titanfall 3." The most important thing to take away from that reddit post is that the first Titanfall was so budgeted compared to Titanfall 2 that saying something like that is simply public relations bs.

A lot of people agree with you on the embarkation animations, on the subreddit, the forums, everywhere really. I also hope one day to be able to check a box that lets it stay in first person mode, at least just for those animations. The executions in third person are fine the way they are.

@Javaa01

And it actually helps to have the executions be third person animations, since you are invulnerable to damage while they are playing, you can leverage that to allow you to dive in to groups of enemies going after doomed titans, and other players have the chance to surround you in the meantime. Compared to that, the third person embark animations only really allow phase embark to not look incredibly jarring to use, and to quickly let you see if someone is trying to rodeo your titan, since during embarking and disembarking animations your titan (and by extension you) are completely vulnerable (thus making it very inadvisable to embark your titan if you happen to not be piloting it, and it is being surrounded by other titans) unless protected by the dome shield, and if said dome shield is active, you are more or less impervious to all damage yourself while standing inside it, without even having to embark your titan, allowing you to take your time and have a look around the environment for possible threats. Though, from a technical perspective, the third person embark animations do allow them to spend less resources on rendering the cockpit and textures within them, without you really realizing it, since that way the game isn't quite literally rubbing your face against the textures, so that helps the game to look more visually impressive and in a sense more coherent on lower spec hardware, such as consoles.

They made the third person animations because of budget and time constraints. While they probably wanted to make first person animations, they would have had to make two animations for every single embarking sequence. One for first person for you to see and another for third person for other players to see. Making the embarking animations third-person effectively halves the amount of animations they would have had to make for each titan, which makes sense since they made twice as many titans for titanfall 2 as for titanfall 1.

While I see where you're coming from, I don't really buy that excuse. First, they aren't even new Titans, they're the same chassis from the first game but with more stuff taped on them depending on which hero you choose. They could've just ported over the animations from the first game and it wouldn't change a thing. Second, each chassis is made the same way, they're all bipedal humanoid mechs with a door on the front and the top, so they shouldn't have to go through any more stress making animations than they did in TF1. Every Titan type has the same animations but with different touches on certain ones.

The embark animations are reused from 1. (and before you mention it I know I'm 3 yrs late)

I think the sense of scale makes more sense in titanfall 2 since you can see the entire pilot entering. although I would much rather have 1st person animations. My explenation for the change is: - as you said, to show of skins - To make people less motion sick when entering (there are a lot of times where the head quickly turns 180 degrees or the head gets tilted) - The phase shift embark would probably look a lot worse I think there should be an option to choose between the 2, but I would much rather have 1st person animations

I've also had the same issue with the execution animations too. I mean, it's pretty handy and cool being able to see clearly what you're doing with your enemy, but when you're on the receiving end of an execution, it doesn't have the same sting or ramification as, experiencing a sneak attack you should've been more careful on. But like the Titan embarkation, it's not a *big deal*.

I think it should be in first person.. The third person stuff just ruins the immersion for me. Like: "alright so you were running, killing people, now you got your Titan. AND NOW YOUR EYEBALLS MAGICALLY FLY INTO THE SKY! But only until you're in." It just doesn't make sense, if you're gonna have the embark animations in third person, then Titans should be played in third person entirely. It's so unnatural to me...

This is action-packed FPS multiplayer, immersion is not important like it is in other games which are far more tense and suspenseful like Outlast. You would think that in a fast paced game like Titanfall people wouldn't mind a few shifts from the 1st person as things are moving so fast anyway. But no, people crave ''immersion'' despite entering and executing titans continuously. 3rd person executions look great and fit with the cinematic gameplay. Think about executions involving spinning and turning like with Ion prime and Scorch prime. If they were 1st person, you wouldn't see what's going on. Understand that 3rd person animations give developers a lot more creative freedom.

imagine executions. may be janky, yes, but just image pounding someone's face in, or twisting a neck (like the first game). imagine jumping on a pilot, he looks up to you, and then sonar blade to the face. so much potential lol

Actually the first person animation happens three times in the campaign, first in BT-7274 as you showed, secondly in The Ark, just before the Viper bossfight and finally in The Fold Weapon when you climb into your brand new Legion Titan.

Just found you on YT mate, ngl this vid was 🔥🔥 insta subbing, nice work dude :)

Yah 1st person makes you feel more badass as well

This video was really good. Subbed.

Thank you, I was hoping someone would mention this. First person animation is definitely better

I can agree with the comments and the intention of the 3rd person embark animation (the awareness thingy) - but I would GLADLY sacrifice that extra awareness for the immersion, and that feeling, that MIGHTY feeling you get when you climb into your friggin murder machine and start wrecking up other people's days.

WE ARE SO BACK!!

One plus about the 3rd person animations is it allows them to do more ridiculous stuff in the executions and terminations, while not making the player dizzy from all the movement. I feel like after wanting to adjust those, the first person embarkment was probably the odd one out that Respawn decided to conform to the rest of the animations. I would love to be able to do them in either perspective but I doubt it will be something for this iteration of the Titanfall series.

I never played TT1 but would like the option to do so in TT2 but I do run phase embark so the 1st person embark probably wouldn't work then right. Thought I'd they did have 1st person embark it would be cool if each titan had their own way embarking it like running up legions chain gun to embark from the campaign

I would actually try to recreate titanfall 2's animation like embarking, executing as pilot and titan in sfm. It would be a pain in the ass but still fun to do

Bruh even stuff like the first person snapping of an enemy pilot's neck was so awesome. I can remember my first one so vividly, on the lagoon map behind the wooden house and the guy I killed was an IMC sniper model. And the first person terminations was fucking amazing. Even getting terminated was fucking awesome, seeing a massive robot hand punch through your monitor and toss you across the pavement. The fact that tf1 was fully first person was so immersive and satisfying, and really made the game stick in my memory. Ahhhh I just can't express how awesome it was to see it for the first time, especially as someone who used to solely play halo and was used to perception changes for every other action.

Finally someone who understands my pain. I also think that execution animations would also look absolutely amazing in first person.

I mean, I'd like to see that as an option. That, and left-handed first-person pilot viewmodels. Don't care if all the text and numbers and shit on the guns is backwards, I just want it to be on the left.

Very late take on this but i personally find that the 3d does improve the situational awareness a lot, may be my playstyle but i genuinely find the 3p to be a improvement for MP competitive players while 1p does more for immersion

Unless you have done Shield

I feel the same way, I wish you could switch off and on if you want to see embarks in 1st or 3rd person, or like the takedowns where you can have it at random

One of the reasons I love campaign is for those first person animations

I mean I'd like to actually see my pilot for once

Respawn had an ask me anything recently and they said they can't make those embarks fort person because they need to create all the different cockpits for each titan and there prime titan and they don't have the necessary tools and funding to make that happen.

My God the detail in the titans are amazing Don t know why but I love the metal plates shifting and what not when the titans move

Glad to know I'm not the only person that feels this way I missed the first person animations

They should give option in setings to change the TPP to FPP (TPP third person perspective FPP first person perspektive)

I love first person shooters and I really do appreciate first person view animations something about the immersion. the the guy that created the doom game back in the early 90s I think said it best I can't quote him but he said something like first person view is immersion and it puts you in the game and third-person view is something like playing with dolls digital dolls that is

I really wish one update they add that ability to get into your titan via first person (and maybe the executions/terminations because I'd kill to see through the eyes of what happening with the Northstar prime execution). I really like that and to me made it feel like there was an even deeper level of immersion put into the game.

i would rather have an option per titan whether it be dlc or not that enables the old titanfall 1 animations, as it seems that at least the atlas termination _is_ in the second game

The analogy is best analogy

I get the situational awarness it allows you see the enemy titans around you

I heard somewhere that having executions and embarkings in 3rd person for TF|2 might not have been what Respawn originally wanted, but was done to save development time. They already have to animate it in 3rd person for other players to see, creating a 1st-person version of the animation for the player doing it would've taken additional time and manpower they didn't really have for making the sequel.

You should be able to to change your titan to have an add on that lets you choose to be first person embarking or not

im totally agree, i loved seeing mi character entering the titan in first person, it was amazing.

I preferred the first person when entering the Titans. Because as you were saying it gives you a sense of scale. Also it really shows how much of a beast these Titans are.

I also wish each titan had more unique embark animations utilizing aspects of the titan, similar to how cooper runs up BT's predator cannon in the final mission

will they actually bring it back like did a dev say probably in the forums go blow up the developers forums and say what you want respawn seem like they would listen

I don't have either if the titanfall games (sadly...) But I watched a lot of IniquityGames videos on Titanfall 2. The animations are bloody cool, but I do agree that having that option would be nice.

Idk if it's just me but i was looking to see which position the pilot should be in for the fastest animation, not how grande a titan is

I agree that i prefer the first person entrance but in terme of utilitie i find the 3rd person better. its true that you see around when you embarc you titan. in the second game i know exactly what i will do when i will have the control

I'm quite fond of the first person animations too

I completely understand, and the third person animations threw me off as well. However, it's undeniable that the camera doing a swing can definitely help with map awareness. In that moment of embarking, you get a near 360 degree view of the battlefield. This lets you look for oncoming pilots, titans and all sorts of other things coming to tear your chassis a new one and plan around it. For example, I'm a Northstar user. Turbo and Viper thrusters are all I use on her. When embarking once, I saw a doomed titan nearby preparing to try to kill me right away. Immediately after embarking I turn to them, boost over and execute them. Without the 360 camera turn, I'd have no idea that the titan was approaching. Though I would definitely activate first person embarks if it were an option, nothing beats the classics.

Although I do agree with this, the 3rd person embark does actually help with situational awareness, not always with surrounding enemy pilots (due to their small size) but if there's an enemy Titan even somewhat nearby, that rotating camera tells you exactly where they are, and perhaps where they're going. This isn't always necessary (as when you play a Titan like Northstar, you'll be calling them in in the outskirts anyway) but if you're the kinda dude that loves to try to call in your Titan right on top of someone else's, that 3rd person rotation can potentially mean the outcome of the battle for you All in all: yeah I would like an option to turn off and on the 3rd person embarking so you can turn it off when you don't plan on needing it

I think this should have more traction, the option to change third or first person animations would be an amazing thing, but there are different animations for all the Titans so it'd be some work, I hope this idea goes to fruition but I can see why if not

I think respawn should add a feature where yo have an option to either have first or third person embark animations

*_Is that music from Jamestown?_*

I actually do like the 3rd person view more, can't count how many times I've spotted an enemy pilot or Titan rushing towards me while embarking

Titanfall 1 has first person embark animations and executions and in Titanfall 2 removed them from multiplayer so if there’s a Titanfall 3 I would want a option to choose first or thirdperson embark animations and executions

lmao oh Jesus the R97. I was styling on two kids with my EPG and frags, and they pulled out the r97 and arcs but still lost

i think third person helps not the immersion, but the sense of scale and power. you actually _see_ the titan grab you like you're a little doll, and put you in the cockpit. you get to see how big they are compared to you, not just how big their hand and cockpit are. i think MP should do it like SP. it's third person so you get the real sense of scale and power, but you still see the inside of the cockpit for the immersion aspect. only wish they could go a step further and just make the inside of the cockpit display the titan model and environment on the other side, rather than giving an entirely new overlay and HUD. it would be cool to see the pilot HUD go away, and with no black screens just see the actual cockpit on the titan model physically display a screen, so if you were to go in theater mode and fly inside the cockpit, you'd see what the pilot sees. that would give it the most real sense of getting in a mech, not just "yay i got a new overlay and my playermodel is bigger"

What is the name of the garry's mod titan? ( Mod)

I like the third person, but you should be able to change if you do first or 3rd

what is the name of theme on 0:14

That ending line though... :)

i kind of like the third person animations cause it does give you a better sense of awareness. but i do miss the first person executions when your head would just be snapped back and the last thing you saw was a pilot staring at your lifeless dead eyes as your spine was severed and you instantly blacked out from your brain losing complete control of everything

3rd person helps you keep better tabs on what's going on around you as you embark

I didn't play the first Titanfall. But while I have no issue with Titanfall 2's embark animation, I wouldn't mind the 1st person view embark animation either. It would be nice if Respawn can implement an option in the setting that lets you switch between the two views.

Its to see the entire titan instead of just the cockpit. I agree the first person embark animations were good but its supposed to show more of the titan so you arent just stuck to seeing a single small part the titan

you forgot that the titanfall 1 animations are just slick and quick to make you feel like your an agile pilot

some people like 3rd others like 1st i think they should add a filter of some kind to be able to switch back and forth between they two

i feel like first-person embarks would break Phase Embark, though. How would that be conveyed in first-person without lengthening the animation or making it choppy-looking?

The phase effect is already visible in first person (spooky black and white vision) so perhaps a simple phase out + screen goes black + fade in to Titan HUD for phase embark.

Titanfall 2 also only have all the same cockpits. In titanfall 1 they were all different and you FELT like going in the titan and also another thing. There were SO MANY embark animations which i loved. From the side. Back. Top. Front. In titanfall 2. Its just front back or top. And the titan just grabs you if your on the side. In titanfall 1 it would be different on if your left or right of the titan. And in titanfall 2 when you embark it just black screens and then the cockpit appears. Its not like in titanfall 1 where it dosent just black screen in titanfall 1 when you enter the titans you see the hud light up. In titanfall 2 its basically gone the embark.

The end tho "Please nerf the R-97" hahahaha

Prefers an animation that leaves you with no idea what's going on in the backround, over one that does. There is plenty situational awareness in the third person. The background is not blurred to the point that you cant see the BRIGHT RED enemies in the background, you can see them perfectly fine. The camera rotates at a pace that allows you a quick 360 view of your surroundings while not being so fast that you cant see anything.

I isn't embarking in first person an option? in the meny

the "situational awareness" helps me all the time and has given me free kills from time to time and has also gotten me killed.

maybe they decided that they don't need to make it more obvious that a titan is bigger than a pilot. I like the 3rd person entry cutscene- allows you to see a portion of your surroundings and decide your first action when getting in your titan. Half the time you call one in there is an enemy titan waiting for your dome shield to drop. In a 3rd person entry view you can see where they are, and even see if they're priming their first offense such as Ion waiting with laser shot or northstar with a charged railgun. The Immersion aspect is in the eye of the beholder.

They don't need to emphasize on it time and time again, having it in 3rd person allowed for them to create sick entry animations, not just one where your titan grabs you and puts you inside.

there should be a setting for 3rd person of 1st person.

Yes, I agree with this so much and I said the same exact thing on release
