Alternate pool video lessons? & Blog suggestion
Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2012 10:04 pm
Wow this forum is slow. I guess everyone is getting ready for x-man in 3 days.
I understand in VP4 there will be some video instruction. It is said this is just the basics. How is this compared to Janette Lee's videos from VP3? Is it a lesser amount of video instructions?
Assuming so, is there any good alternate video series that is free online people can use to learn ( or refresh) how to shoot?

I just saw the blog and wanted to comment on the FOV post. I did not register because not only is a name but an address and phone number is required. In today's climate of internet security troubles people are advised against giving such personal information over the net.. even to a game company you think you can trust. I predict you will get many more registrations if you lessen these stringent registration requirements.
Is that also the same site that will handle the VP4 online games? If so, I think you will be surprised at the amount of potential online players that are not willing to give such information. You will therefore lose money, and IMO it's not a very smart business practice.

The blog gives a formula for finding your preferred FOV. Many people find this to be bothersome and or inaccurate for them. (from the comments) As a first person gamer for many years, ( and we do play VP in first person) I can tell you the easiest way is to ignore that formula and start with the default of 40. Then just bump the FOV up in 5 point increments until you find what works right for you. This is how it's done in every first person video game and works well without having to worry about such a formula.
