Little "unknown"? tip for Quake III Arena on DC

Chaniyth · Post by **Chaniyth** » Thu Feb 13, 2003 10:30 pm

To those that don't know, you can play Quake III Arena for Dreamcast in a 3rd person view! Yes that's right... a 3rd person view.

Start a game, go into the following: setup -> player -- and enable the Body View option.

You will then be in a 3rd person view, fully playable... you'll also get to see your awsome animations, like the back flip!

I dunno how well known this is, but it's there.

I already knew this, i hate playing Quake in First person mode i prefer 3rd person becuase its kinda like playin Jedi Knight. You can do it with Unreal Tournament too.. i think? havent really played this one..

not with that game that we cant talk about tho.. sure you know what i mean..

you KNOW that game, sounds like the oppisite to 'Full Death'

its pure FP2 but the controls fit in miles better than Quake... never really liked the quake conreols, prefer Unreal cos its got autotarget...

So it sounds like "Empty Life"?
Why not say something along the lines of "It's a term used to describe radioactive decay"?
But then again and why don't you stop stepping around the damn issue and just say Half-Life.

Useful bit of info, I'll have to dust off my copy. Sounds like the OutTrigger view, which, in my opinion, was brilliant.

Half-Life is a game on the PC, so it shouldn't be an "illegal" word to say around here. Besides that it was NEVER released on Dreamcast so whatever it's not illegal.

Aww shucks, I almost forgot about this game!!!

I'm babysitting tonight so I might check out eb this weekend. Hopefully they'll have some good games, including this. Wish me luck!

Any options to flip the analog stick axis? All I could find was a flip axis for the mouse....;( You would THINK they could have put them together...

MaximumZero · Post by **MaximumZero** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 12:23 pm

Yeah, you can change the y axis on Quake 3....all you have to do is go into the options and go to control changes and go to "look up/look down" and swap them, simple as that.

EDIT: If that's confusing I'll go pop Q3 in and give you a step-by-step.
