I found a variable called VehiclePOV while poking around the demo's engine.u/dngame.u files, and it turns out that it's actually still functional. Start the game with -log and type this into the log window:
set dngame.playerpawn vehiclepov vpov_firstperson

That's heaps better!

Edit: except for the slight graphical glitch when Duke gets out of the car.

[LkMax]

hahah, nice find! xD
It looks much more immersive.

PS: It can be a little harder to see te 'road' but still looks better.

Damn, this looks so much awesome and better.
I wonder if they are giving you an option to switch between first- and third person views ?

That would be really sweet having the best of both worlds.

Seeing that Pig Cop get propelled into the air at high speed gave me an idea.

How about a Carmageddon mod for DNF?

Roads full of aliens everywhere, that you can just mow down to your heart's content!

I was actually hoping that Duke would make a Carmageddon reference during that level, it just seemed like a great time for one. Something like "Wasted!" (Not best as it's an often used phrase, but some might get it) or "Beat that, Max!".

It is nice to have first person in that segment. But remember that the truck is used A LOT MORE and in different situations in the full game. It might not be a good idea to be in first person in the first playthrough.

[Hysler]

That does look awesome but I agree with Davo, it'd probably be better to go through with the regular camera perspective at first.

He does make a Death Race 2000 reference though.

With and SDK or mapping tools It would be easy as shit to do that.

[necroslut]

I don't really like the physics when running over enemies though, they get propelled forwarad way too fast. But it's still lots of fun, haha!

A Death Race II mod would be niiice.

[Mr. Tibbs]

Man, it's so much more immersive in first person. Very cool stuff.

The 2006 gameplay video of DNF, that is included in the games files shows a first person view in the Mighty Foot!

Spoiler Warning: It shows gameplay of levels similar to the released game.

Yay now its feels a lot more like Duke and not playing with a stupid monster truck toy. Seriously, the truck design and the bad visuals make it look like a joke. Now that its first person, you actually get to see and feel the weight and scale of that vehicle.

[necroslut]

I can't use the first person perspective anymore since the console was patched out, any other way around that?

The way - to make special patch for offlene Steam or steal DNF sources...)))
