One of the coolest parts about watching korean BW was when once in a while the screen would switch to one of the player's first person screen views. It was amazing seeing the contrast between the observer camera and what the players were actually performing. Most importantly, it really gave a sense of the immense skill of the players that is sometimes hard to get from just the observer view. How cool would it be to see Puzzle's screen as he does his 555 apm blink micro, or marineking as he does his crazy splits? Obviously this is not an option for most tournaments, but I think it'd be really cool if those with the resources would give some thought to implementing this. What do you think?

Edit/Clarification - I'm talking about ingame-screen views such as those you see when you watch players streaming

The only facial expressions I think it worth switching to is the emotional reaction to winning/losing a major engagement, which usually decides the game.

At first glance I thought this was about spectating games from an fps view of a unit like a critter walking around.

That would be pretty cool.

But the players view would be nice to see in major tourneys.

I don't see why not actually. I believe BW even has permanent First-person views on seperate screens during the entire match, just for the spectators in the stadium.

I've always wondered why they rarely ever do this in SC2. I would definitely would like to see it more in professional casts.

I dont think fp view adds anything significant to the entertainment of the viewers.
Because you cant see their mouse cursor etc watching battles or micro from the first person perspective, it LOOKS no different aside from a less predictable and shaky camera view that would probably be more confusing than impressive to a casual viewer.

EDIT: I think over the shoulder camera angles from time to time, however, would be awesome!

I think you would miss more than you can see from observer view. We always have replays to watch first-person perspective.

In BW they showed only a few seconds, maybe 10-15, of jaedong controling mutas or flash macroing etc. Something like that where they switch from observer POV to player's POV and then back after 10 sec. That would be cool

Yeah they would have to switch it so we're actually viewing the screen of the player like BW. Switching to their view using SCII observer tools wouldn't be so great especially with the forced smooth camera panning that would kind of ruin the whole experience.

Yes! I really want the GSL to start on this! I think it'd be sweet if they could do like instant replays of battles in first person view. That way you can see the micro from the observer's perspective followed by the players'. Since you already have seen the battle once when watching the first person view you can watch the player's micro much more carefully.

For the tournaments that have player cams at the bottom of the UI, they could switch that to some kind of player view during the game, and only show the players during the start or end of a game. It might be hard to see depending on stream quality, but for an event with great stream quality like the Blizz Invitational, I could see it working.

Would like to see this implemented, loved the short moments in SC:BW where they would have this. I will admit, I'm a tad afraid it might not be as amazing after all the FPV streams the community has been spoiled with upon the release of SC2.

When I go to MLGs the only thing I do is watch the featured station so that I can watch from the player's perspective. So much more to learn and much more entertaining for me.

What if you could select a unit when spectating and see from his view... Wouldnt that be awesome... Jump into the eyes of a colossus for example and see everything from his angle

Oh and you would have mouse-view to direct view direction

I like the idea of it. In my opinion it would be similar to what Halo commentators do with the Astro Listen in. Where they don't talk for a minute and just let the spectator watch through the eyes of a player and listen to the team. Obviously this should be a bit shorter for SC2 as 1 minute can be a lot of time, but I think it is a cool concept.

it doesnt matter if the mouse cursor isnt there, anyway you can appreciate it, they should test it
in some tournament and ask to ppl if they want to see it more often.
i really enjoy watching Fpview and im sure more ppl will too.
if play random i can't call any race imba?

If they were ever to do this, it should directly show the screen of the player instead of the player view option you have as a spectator. I'd like to see the mouse cursor and boxing, which is missing when you switch to another player's view like in replays. You get a better sense of apm too that way.

Yes i would like that. I sent an e-mail to sundance and mlgpaul to see if it would be possible to get the 2 stage computer streaming so everybody can watch their favorite player while listening to commentator in audio.

I think that would be just awesome if they can implement that in a future MLG.

Yep. The half of the fun is to see the sick accuracy with the mouse.

Having FPV and showing players faces just like they do at OSL/MSL in BW is perfect imo.

This would be great. Also, it shouldn't be hard to pull off for pretty much every major lan-tournament that has a stage-setup like mlg. Just capture the computers in the two booths. At least i don't see where the difficulty would be.

Would love to see this more often

no, this means they'd be outputting the players' screens themselves, not simply switching the "views" while in observer mode.

i think it'd be a great idea, bw broadcasts don't nearly do enough of it these days.

I don't know how much I would like watching the first person cameras of players in tournaments - it would get pretty hectic.

The faces of the players, though, is a really nice touch I think most tournaments should use.

It's only for a few seconds. Never a massive time of watching first person cam. It's really cool. I suggest you go watch some BW vods to check it out

I haven't seen a lot of SCBW but I'm pretty sure I've seen the camera show the player's screen with mouse cursor and all. It wouldn't be any different than watching your favorite pros stream their games. I'm pretty sure even the casual viewer can appreciate seeing first hand what the pro is doing with his mouse..

Well that is like the best thing ever just put a camera behind the player so you can see his keyboard mouse + screen and this will be more watched than the actual cast
wonder who is finally gonna realize and do that
watching auto camera on replay isn't the same thing
watching MC playing would be priceless

Yes, MBCGame studio has 3 screens each for the FP view of the players. I believe it streams the desktop itself and anything running in it. Because before the games, you can see players toggle with window's settings

i've been saying this ever since the game came out. we need more FP View other than streams.
it's the most interesting stuff ever.
we want the FP View to be exactly what the progamer views on his screen

Yes; this is one of the things that GSL has always been missing. That and player reactions make the GSL a very different experience from watching BW. I'd go for all of these things.

We need actual first person though, not what blizzard has implemented, rather what they had in BW where you could actually see the cursor. It would be interesting if they had cameras set up next to the keyboard, that way we could see the incrediible handspeed. That would be a dream come true for me : )
Wishing you well.

Yeah I think that some tournaments will start to switch to a first person camera view during specific times in games.
I also would like to see some form of instant replay, maybe IPL will implement that since they cast replays anyway.

The only way to have "true" FPPOV is to have the players comp have 2 cloned outputs, one to the players comp, one to wherever they want to broadcast it. Otherwise you just see where the player is looking and his current selection(highlighted)

Honestly, I would rather see something like this:

I know this isn't exactly what you're talking about when you talk about "1st person view," but I would be more that happy with this set-up.

I enjoy watching people's streams and to see both player's "streams" in addition to the caster's screen would be perfect.

This is how it looks in BW for you who doesn't know.

With the cursor, it would be awesome. shouldn't be hard to implement, honestly. Just one extra output.

The OGN and MBCgame studios actually have big screen TVs on the sides showing the first person view of the players full time.

This would definitely be good for SC2, though.

i remember at blizzcon (and maybe MLG, don't remember specifics) they had the screens showing the 2 player's FP view.... however i think it'd be fucking awesome if they figured out a way to include it on streamed tournaments (like GSL/NASL/other online ones)...

however, this means having the computer nearby, if not streaming themselves... which limits it to either live events, or a high-end PC / internet for the player to stream their screen

with the grubby/tlo showmatch it was great how both players were streaming their first person view during the cast/match i felt like it added so much to the experience :D def something to add for lan/tournament events

Because you cant see their mouse cursor etc watching battles or micro from the first person perspective, it LOOKS no different aside from a less predictable and shaky camera view that would probably be more confusing than impressive to a casual viewer.

EDIT: I think over the shoulder camera angles from time to time, however, would be awesome!


i think you didn't really understand what the question is about.
it's NOT about the "player camera" option when you spectate/watch a replay.
it's about the actual screen of the players, where you DO see the cursor, the ways the box units, and fly over the map via hotkeys.

Basically I would only want to see glimpses of the players doing first person view not lengthy amounts of time. I do think it would be great filler for the slow moments in games where casters fumble to talk about something.

When I saw the title my answer was no, but after reading your motivation it changed to a yes.

I would also really, REALLY like a picture in picture when a drop occurs.
Focus the main battle, but when seeing a drop on the mini-map I want vision, even if it is just a small picture in a corner.

A first person view with the cursor would be nice in SC2, but I think a camera behind/beside the player would be neat too, so that we can see them using the keyboard and mouse. I thought I saw a video of something similar to this, and I think tournaments trying to implement that would be neat.

I would LOVE if people did this or blizzard added in some type of functionality for this. One of my favorite things in watching sc1 was having the camera switch to a player's FPV for a few seconds and then to the other, then back to the game. It added a whole extra level of excitement to the game in my opinion.

I think what competetions should do is broadcast, both players screens aswell as the observer screen.

And then allow us to use programs such as Warpprism and Wellplayed.tv to view all 3 perspective.

SC2 players are no flash's or jaedongs, all the streams are FP views and I rarely see anything that amazes me.. even when watching players like huk and sheth, so I don't think it would be as "awesome" as many people here say.

I dunno why you guys were making fun of this dude, the best part of watching BW is instantly knowing who is ahead or behind in close situation because of the silly dramatic zoom the camera does on their faces. I wish every game did that, its awesome. It's so over the top for a video game.

SC2 doesn't have the mouse cursor on the screen like BW had, though. If Blizzard could fix this it would be perfect, but I'm sure they left it out for a reason. I'd love for an over-the-shoulder cam to be introduced, though, perhaps we could ask GOM if they think it's a good idea?

Can someone link some classic first-person view videos from BW? I wasn't acquainted with the Starcraft scene back then, so I don't know of any, but I think it would be awesome for the thread to see some cool examples of the effect in action.

Not as crucial as in BW, because progaming replays in SC2 are a lot more accessible. But since it adds variety to the cast, they could spend half a minute or so on fpv. I also enjoy occasional changes of the camera angle and zoom, when not overdone. Best example: korean obs of launching nukes.

Here is an example from BW, Jaedong's view vs Bisu at WCG 2009; commentary by Tastosis:

Big tournaments like gom can replicate what was seen in BW, but the ingame function means that if it becomes popular it can be used by anyone to an extend. Really cool I hope this happens.

When I first saw a Jaedong game a few years ago it switched to his FP view and I could not believe how fast it is and I was hooked instantly. Would definitely love it in SC2.

Heh, I remember day9 calling it the doom zoom once. Seems pretty appropriate. ^^ And yeah for someone like me whos not smart, the doom zoom was really helpful to see whos winning.

More to the topic: I certainly wouldnt object to this. I did always like it when they showed the FP views. I'm not too traumatized without it though. :D

Afaik FP view was either non-existent or extremely rare in BW (as in the entirety of the replay after the game, not little snippets every now and then as they play live) except for in WCG because KeSPA respected player's requests to not have their BOs or timings studied extensively.
If here in SC2 we release it to the public it can be viewed through the FP mode anyway, so no minuses on that side. But would you really want to watch a player's FP most of the game? If it is introduced, I would suggest during interesting crises or surprises, such as the opponent's FP when someone 6/7 pools, then stuff like the lings dodging the scout will make the crowd go wild as it did in BW.

From the limited number of BW VODs I've watched, it's usually used after a big battle in a sort of instant replay function to show how awesome the player did. It would be great if MLG et al adopted this and had the tech to do this. Also, I would like some more out of game views, I wanna see Losira's hand DANCE!

Of course I have, but it doesn't give us a very clear view of the players' actions, it only gives us a shaky camera view and their unit selections (if you look closely).

Sorry to necro a thread but I'm STILL not seeing this in tournaments. Those FP switches of BW were LITERALLY the first thing that really drew me to the game. Especially as more and more non-players start entering the sc2 audience it is so vital that we communicate what exactly makes this game so amazing and how much skill it involves. I was completely shocked the first time I saw a cut to fp view in BW. If you don't play and are only used to the observer view you can literally have no idea what playing the game actually looks like, and seeing the extreme speed, accuracy and fluidity with which the progamers control their units and macro really illuminates just why we should respect players of this game in the same way as professional athletes.

I agree, first person view is pretty awesome to watch and it gives indication of how talented the players actually are, because you get to see them maneuver around and command their forces at high speeds. Once a game for each player for like 10 to 20 seconds would be sufficient in my mind. I still prefer the omniscient caster's view for almost the entirety of the cast, but it would be nice to pop into the player view once in a while.

I would love to see it, but i think they should use it sparingly, and not while big engagements are happening, it's not fair to only see a 200/200 PvT fight in the Protoss' perspective only.

You basically mean just switching to their in game vision during a micro engagement? similar to how they switch to the players vision to see if they got a good scout or not? I guess its ok, you can't see the mouse though that's the thing

Or do you mean a camera like on the players computer screen? That would probably just look bad ascetically

Would be great to see FPV in tournament! I mean, it can be used to fill time in less-actionesque parts of the game, or right before / during harassment. I would love to see it just like it was done in BW!

Facial expression is good but sometimes the battle is just way too fast to be able to pan out to get a shot of both players expression like the slower paced BW... example 5 colossus deathball versus bio ball and viking... sometimes its over in 2-3 seconds flat so panning out to player facial reaction may make you miss out on the action. Same with baneling engagements, etc. Too fast paced to be able to pan out at times.
It would work for TvT though...

First person view on the other hand could work out just fine and be pretty cool. I'm most interested in seeing the fpv of players like mma, etc. going into crazy multitask mode.

I think the general public has enough insight into player's minds. I don't want omniscience. I'd prefer to preserve some strategic privacy for the players. But I'm sure I'm in the minority.

I always loved the fps view BW tournies did, it was very cool and it would keep the game "intense" during peaceful times.

I would also second the motion of facial expressions.

No, Why would we want to watch First Person? That pretty stupid and here is why

Idk about you lower level players, but when you play @ a high level, even in Masters, players usually don't watch battles as they go down. Your constantly PLAYING the game, you don't have time to watch. Your constantly multitasking, and your screen is jumping from place to place extremely quickly, too fast for anyone who isnt of at least high skill level to fully grasp.

It's bad for esports. People who don't play SC2 already have enough trouble following, watching it on crack speed in FPS wont help.

I think I recall seeing a FPS view on DH arena.
when they showed the crowd and the screen, in the middle was the observers view, and beside it on both side is an fps view of both players.

Problem is that its not really viewer-friendly. Not all people can see what happens in the split millisecond that a pro does something important and then switches back to his hatch f.e.

I think the way it is right now helps esports more to becomming a viewer-friendly enviorment. GSL has the most experience with this from what I've seen.

I dont mind the option to have an extra stream for pov only though.

I was at IPL 3, and they had a fantastic live set-up, with the main screen in the middle, and two slightly smaller screens off to each side showing FPV.

I loved every second of it.

Yes, i think it is nice to see how the players play out these important tournament games.
But this should stay as a luxury, not as something every tournament holder is bound to have.

I say make it happen. Too bad I'm a bum and I never pay for any memberships so I'll never be able to see it most likely.
I get it.
