Will Revenge of the Savage Planet have a first person mode?
If you've basked in the chaos of Journey to the Savage Planet, its frenzied first-person antics are likely burned into memory. You might expect the sequel to follow suit, but it doesn't. However, all is not lost. Find out whether Revenge of the Savage Planet will return this beloved perspective. Can you play in first person mode in Revenge of the Savage Planet? While Revenge of the Savage Planet currently lacks a first-person mode, there's still hope for its return. After numerous fans voiced their disappointment, a developer from Raccoon Logic responded on Reddit, indicating that the team was "considering looking into a first-person option later down the line." Although this wasn't an official confirmation, it's a positive sign, especially considering the wave of negative feedback that has followed the decision to exclude this feature. With enough community pressure and continued dialogue, a first-person mode could very well be added in a future update. The removal of the first-person option was part of a broader design choice focused on improving accessibility, particularly for platforming challenges and showcasing the game's full-character animations. As someone who has played Revenge of the Savage Planet, I understand the reasoning behind this decision. The third-person perspective enhances the gameplay, helping with long-distance platforming sequences in the game's vibrant world. Image via Raccoon Logic Studios Inc. However, the lack of a first-person view is more apparent in combat. Engaging with the game's alien creatures and strange, bug-like enemies can feel somewhat clumsy. Switching to a first-person perspective would likely improve the fluidity and precision of combat encounters. Scanning objects would also fit better with this perspective, allowing players to pinpoint and analyze nearby flora and fauna easily. First-person gameplay was essential to the original Journey to the Savage Planet. There was no third-person mode in the original, making the introduction of the new perspective in Revenge all the more baffling. Offering both perspectives may be the most straightforward path forward to capture the essence of the series and satisfy the player base. Although there's no official timeline for a first-person mode in Revenge of the Savage Planet, the developer's responsiveness to community feedback bodes well. Since launch, the team has been actively addressing co-op and crossplay issues, suggesting that patches are in the works. Given the overwhelming demand for a first-person feature, the mode may be part of the update that the team's been working on. The fact that the game opens with a first-person cutscene fuels the speculation that the perspective might eventually make a return, but only time will tell.
