A new cool video from Black Myth: Wukong surfaced yesterday. This video shows the first battle of the game from the viewpoint of an enemy warrior NPC. The video reminded me of an older video, in which you can see a match in Tekken 8 from the viewpoint of an NPC. And, to be honest, I believe this is something that the devs should officially add to their games.
Seriously, just take a look at the following videos. This is a cool concept. This is something that can completely change the way you experience a game.
Now since you’re not controlling the main character, the whole thing will feel more like a movie. So, a game should not solely focus on this feature. However, as an unlockable or as a “hidden/secret” feature, it would be awesome.
Devs can go one step further and allow you to move the NPC you control. For example, in the Tekken 8 video, you could be able to move to a better seat so that you can have a better view of the battle.
Again, this is a really cool concept in my opinion. So, I don’t know why the devs have not invested in something like this.
I also don’t know why YouTubers/Modders have not done something like that. A YT channel with videos that let you spectate an entire game from the viewpoint of an NPC is a cool concept. It’s something new and unique to the oversaturated YT gaming channels. So, in theory, it should attract a lot of viewers, right?
Anyway, I hope we get more of these videos. And if you have any, make sure to share it in the Comment section.
Enjoy!

waste of dev resources…
Yeah because they are already using all their resources so damn well. Usually, id agree with your sentiment but this time around, gonna call BS on that. Because these devs haven't been doing a damn thing that you can say, "oh, they accomplished their jobs". Devs use to put stuff like this in games all the time. Devote resources to things 95% of us still don't even know about. That's because they cared and enjoyed what they did. Nowadays, it's about pushing it a product incomplete. Incomplete, with no FUQIN soul.
Yeah it's confirmed, you're off your meds. You better come out now and say your account got hijacked because you sound like a looneybin.
This ain't the first time you pull this crap. You're just looking for sparring partners. Almost as if you were a troll. But wait…
So because I have a difference in opinion, I'm want to spar and I'm a troll. You are not only dismissive, your are also disrespectful to my POV. If I wanted to spar I would've cussed you the fuq out, but what's the point man. I didn't attack anyone but attacked me, so tell me, who's looking for a fight?.. 🤔
No, not because u have a diff pov, because you were malicious.
As were you "to mine".
You sure about that bud? Was i defensive for no reason whatsoever?
Let's step back for a second and think; who poked the hornets nest prior to this?
I usually look into things when something is off, and boy oh boy to my surprise, they were!
Dare you reply to the star wars comment you made? Yeah i thought so.
So if you are so much more older than me, which you’re not. Because you don’t know my age. But you’re that your of person that assumes all kinda rubbish in order to support your argument. Then tell me this, why is it that you can’t reply to a critical comment without disrespecting or using adhomonyms? Every replay you make, it’s either about “get back on your blmeds or go back to the looney bin”. You think that’s an argument?.. you are short fused and fly off the rails as soon as someone criticize anything you say or a decision you make.
My intention was never to argue with you or get into a back and forth, but to point out your God damn hypocrisy. Keep telling people that have a different pov about how unstable they are. That’s gonna solve your problem, old man. At the end of the day, you’re still the fool for participating into the garbage then complain about it. If you’re so much older and wiser why can’t you excersize restraint. You’re the your to defend every piece of sh*t these corporations put and then try to make it sound like high tea. “You use to be one of the good ones” get the fuq outta here with that patronizing garbage.
Now, I know where you stand and where I stand, I’ll be sure to stay clear of your comments. I only respond to people that have thick skin and is reasonable. I don’t converse with fly off the handle old people that thinks anyone that shares a different POV is off their meds.
Just read what you typed, it will make perfect sense, why I said what I said and I stand by it. I'm not gonna get sucked into your mind games. You are a pathetic malicious little human being.
Yeah no wonder you're a piece of sht. Thanks for clarifying.
You're still off your meds living in your own bubble with disregard of what others are telling you.
I have spoken.
Changing the viewport is easy to do. But I think performance will suffer.
Culling systems are optimized from a certain viewpoint, where the player is expected to be. Changing the viewport could mess all that up. Culling doesn't stop working from a different angle, but it might not be optimized for that angle.
See how highly optimized Horizon zero's dawn culling system is:

This would definitely be cool in some games. It's like the premise of the movie free guy or how people "play NPCs" in gta role play servers. Moving camera to a NPC should be something relatively low cost but the way development goes we'd just have to hope they even think to add something like this.
We barely get half optimized games these days, on top of all kinds of wokeness that is the only priority of tripleA and indie devs.
John is an NPC wanting to be a game NPC How fitting
