Cloud Punk", first-person view mode is great.

Cloudpunk's aggressive neon streets are one of the best looking places in video games I've wandered around this year. Developer Ion Lands has worked its magic with voxels to create a place I don't want to live in, but love to look at. A first-person camera will be included so you can view it more effectively.

Currently, the camera follows the car when you are driving and switches to a platformer-like side view when you are wandering around. The camera is always at a considerable distance. The switch to a first-person perspective is a rather large leap, and the city appears to have been completely transformed, although there appears to be no change in the level design.

According to studio head Marco Diekmann, the new perspective reveals some of the tricks the team used to create the metropolis, but if you can walk around an impressive cyberpunk city from a first-person perspective, how the sausage is made I think I can stand to see it.

The game is currently in beta on Steam, but will go live shortly.
