Engine Features

In Game Death Scenes

Explanation:

When the player dies, switch to an external view, showing his corpse and how he died.

Points to bear in mind:

Would need special motions coded for the Guards/Monsters to respond intelligently after the demise. Victory shouts for guards, mauling by monsters. Standing there, or going back on patrol would be wrong.

If this is done in T3 (which i doubt it) make it an option to turn on/off! I HATE those games whare it shows your corpse lying on the ground as the camera slowly zooms out. HOWEVER: you could insted focus on the guard that made the kill. Have the camera follow him in the third persion view. This wouldnt be hard to code. In fact, I beleave a simular feature is already in the Unreal Engine! --- This way, the player is focused on the guards insted of a visual reminder that your dead.

I agree that it should be available as an option that the user can turn on or off. It could prove to be a very irritating addition to the game otherwise.
