| | First-person shooter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A first-person shooter (FPS) is a combat computer or video game where the player's on-screen view of the game world simulates that of the character. | | | 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. | | | Many third-person shooters (where the player sees the game world from a viewpoint above and behind the main character) are commonly treated as first-person shooters, due to similarities in gameplay. |

| | Third-person shooter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A third-person shooter is a genre of 3D video games where the camera view is outside and thought of as usually being behind the main player character, its name chosen for the number of third-person video games whose gameplay is derivative of first-person shooters. | | | A number of shooters, including The Suffering, bridge the gap between first-person shooters and this kind of game by offering either first- or third-person cameras. | | | See Category:Third-person shooters for a list of games that fall into either of these categories, though it is far from complete. |

| | Halfbakery: 2nd Person Shooter |
| | In a 2nd person shooter video game, the player would control the guns, but see the action from the perspective of the person (monster?) he or she is shooting. | | | My idea for a cool 2nd person shooter (SPS) is that it is played as a third person shooter (TPS), but when you hit someone, it reverts into a 2nd person view, where the camera is located slightly behind the target and you see them being shot. | | | I think this whole 2nd person shooter thing would be a cool idea, but that it should not be mandatory to watch from the 2nd person perspective. |

| | Van Helsing is your typical third person shooter, it doesn’t do much innovative, but it’s a solid game, and it’s pretty fun to play, which is the goal of any game. | | | Sure, it’s not the best licensed game on Xbox, nor is it the best third person shooter game, but it is a good game, and it is fun to play. | | | In the early parts of the game, Van Helsing is a typical third person shooter, where you kill everything you see, and flip a switch or two. |

| | Regardless, it is clear that the first-person shooter will remain a large and powerful genre in computer gaming. | | | Descent was the first title to actually use 3D successfully, with impressive and popular results, but Quake was the first title that used 3D in the traditional first-person shooter. | | | The release of Quake marked the true beginning of the 3D age of first-person shooters, at least in the traditional sense that we use the terms 3D and first-person shooter. |

| | At least until recently, that is; Atari released a Western-themed first-person shooter (think Doom) called Dead Man's Hand earlier this year, and with the arrival of Red Dead Revolver, an Old West explosion may be imminent. | | | Every third-person shooter is built upon hordes of enemies, and the less precise control you have over your gunman the more the poor bastard is going to be pummeled. | | | The last third-person shooter I've come across that was great to play was Lucas-Arts' Armed and Dangerous, a game weak on graphics but vastly entertaining and blessed with an engaging story. |

| | Whereas one would expect to find a relative degree of depth and personality amongst the entire cast, the story does little to get the player involved or interested as to what Brute Force is all about. | | | The essence of the game is focused on team-based combat, featuring unique weapons and special abilities. | | | Unfortunately, linear level design and weak story elements pull down the game and prevent it from becoming a potentially fulfilling title. |

| | IGN: First-Person Shooter Blowout |
| | Romero, in an attempt to break from the typical first-person shooter, is putting more emphasis on strategy, even going so far as to incorporate an experience point system (similar to that of RPGs). | | | Action games and shooters, independent of one another, are ancient genres, but the 3D shooter genre (its taken on its own size and breadth to be a genre now) is growing, in size, if not in quality. | | | This game differs from others of the genre in that, first of all, it has a variety that pushes the envelope. |

| | Yeah man First person shooter games is where the good games are. | | | for pc games, in my opinion, first person shooters are the way to go, well, if you want a shooter that is. third person games are really more for games that have more story than action, and therefore don't really require a whole lot of aiming and what not. | | | I still can't wait to play DOOM 3, which is a first person game. |
