<p>As someone who's predominately a console gamer, I wasn't particularly familiar with the Dungeon Siege franchise before I sat down for a peek at the third iteration deep within the recesses of Square-Enix's E3 booth. I knew it owed a lot to Diablo, but little else. Within the first seconds of seeing Dungeon Siege III, however, I knew that Obsidian's new take on the series had been designed with someone like me in mind.<br /><br />The most obvious cue? The perspective, which has gone from the zoomed out view the series is most associated with, to a more traditional third-person action perspective right over the shoulder. The classic view is still available with just a button press, but most of the demo I saw zooms in tight on the lead character.</p>

<p>I'm delighted to see Obsidian aiming for the console audience.</p>

a more traditional third-person action perspective right over the shoulder.

Obsidian has fixed the camera yet again.

Automatically know the game is gonna be shit, a good hack and slash needs a fixed camera, like diablo or automatic panning and switching like god of war.

That they're going popamole camera with this was TOTALLY expected when they announced it's an xbrick game.

This just in: God Hand, Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden are bad hack and slash games.

I never had interest for the original Dungeon Siege, let alone this one.

What's that? Some kind of rash you get from using dirty controller's?

So Obsidian fixed the camera?

Oh another shitty action game from Obsidian that consoletards instantly like. Surprise.

("a more traditional" - lulz!)

You just couldn't leave the motherfucking camera alone could you Obsidian. Dumb shits.

It's widely known that camera perspectives are Obsidian's specialty. They just do what they do best.

But hey, I'm the one that bitches about Obisidian not knowing to make cameras for the sake of bitching nya?!?!
