Behind the Arrow (July 29, 2007)

[Bandit LOAF]

GameTrailers has posted yet another video of Wing Commander Arena's single player space station melee mode. The 1:36 minute video shows off combat from the game's FreeLancer-style 'behind the ship' angle. It actually shows one of the few uses for this 'coolest looking' camera perspective that I've found so far - navigating the hazed dome area of this level. You can watch it online here.

Be aware that Arena features many different maps and modes - including ones like Capital Ship and Bearpit which are a lot more exciting than the cool space station we've seen over and over in these videos.

Cool. Which camera angle are you guys tending to use the most in general gameplay?

There's a low resolution clip of a 4m:35s session of the Capship mode up on YouTube -- the Kilrathi get their whiskers cleaned!

Cheers,

I use the farther behind camera. It's the 2nd one you get when changing views. Every now and then I do the close in view, but it really takes away from your situational awareness.

Yeah, I can't imagine actually playing with that view. I need to see behind and to the sides, or I can't do anything.
