Have you ever wondered why a game like Tabula Rasa never utilized that classic first-person view, considering the fact that it's billed as an FPS-style MMO? The over-the-shoulder view never really did it for most players who were looking for more of a shooter aspect in their game. Rest easy in knowing that the FPS view is finally coming to this NCsoft sci-fi MMO, according to the latest Feedback Friday.

If that's not enough, there will also be a scope view, allowing players to use their Torqueshell Rifles more authentically and adding to the immersion of playing an actual Sniper class. But wait, there's more! This Feedback Friday also describes a new mech cockpit view and increased camera distance from the character, which will be great news for the support classes who tend to hang back a bit from the front lines. Although there's no date mentioned for the implementation of these improvements, you can check out the entire news story for some impressive screenshots showcasing these new views.

Actually, these are planned to be released in December, along with Earth, as part of the Deployment 15 patch.

I completely agree, Hardy. Whom ever now has the reigns on Tabula Rasa should have been on the project from the get go. As Jack said, TR finally seems to be going to the all the places it should have been from the start. Ironically, in regards to the return to earth, the original concept for TR had it taking place on a near future Earth invaded by aliens. If anyone can find the original concept art featuring Sarah Morrison on a fire-escape above an alley, you'll see what I mean.

Looking forword to the improvments, Tabula Rasa will be an even greater game in the future, it has allot of great things about it, only thing is it's still pretty young, I look forword to the future, it looks really good for TR.
