Topic: First-person shooter


  
 First-person shooter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A first-person shooter (FPS) is a combat computer or video game genre, which is characterized by the player’s on-screen view of the game simulating that of the character or First Person view.
The first-person shooter can be considered a sub-genre of shooter games, though almost all other two dimensional shooter games, especially shoot 'em ups, are more concerned with the gameplay mechanic of dodging than of precise aiming.
The realism in FPS games can vary from arcade shooters, which are fast paced and have unrealistic elements (such as the player being able to shrug off bullets or falling large distances) to levels approaching reality, where players are routinely killed by a single shot.

While the very first mission, which has you training in an underwater facility, may not be so visually impressive, the rest of the game does a much better job.

The first game included a pretty decent story, plenty of kickass gadgets, and a unique futuristic atmosphere.

While we'd love to do a top ten for other genres, the overwhelming dominance of the first person shooter over other game categories this year has once more lead us to place the best first person shooters of 1999 head to head in a bloody battle for the first person shooter crown.
The only reason it is lucky enough to get 10th place is that there were simply not enough other first person shooters to dislodge it with this year round, which is a shame.
While a few developers saw fit to churn out games so bad it pains us to think of them, a number of excellent titles were released, some blending elements of the horror and RPG genres and others focusing more on multiplayer gameplay this time 'round.

 Review - First-Person Shooter Creator // PC /// Eurogamer
This was difficult to test because the game was fine in the editor, and in the full compiled game you have to run through the entire first level to see if the second level works - as one of the most noticeable missing features is a lack of a save game feature.
In other words, make a change, compile, go into the game to run to the error to see if it crashes, then repeat.
Well, they do if you actually play it from the editor.

Yes those are great games, and they are played from a first-person perspective, but really, they share too much in common with a role-playing game like Morrowind to be called true first-person shooters.
The games in this list exhibit one or more of these qualities and have all affected the way shooters are made in a tangible and lasting way.
And while a compelling multiplayer mode isn't a strict requirement for a true first-person shooter, our list shows that a shooter without a strong multiplayer component just doesn't quite hold up over the long run.
