First Person vs Third Person

[pokemon]

FPS, GOW turned me off to TPS cause like someone else mentioned it seems that the character always gets in the way no matter what camera angle. - poke.

[Recollection]

Coz i dont come on the forums much and i made this account bout a month ago, maybe 3 weeks?

YAY 2 STARS!! XD

I like both, depends on the game.

[Caael]

It's hard to decide. I'm not really partial to one or the other, neither would I change the games that have the diferent views. For example, gears wouldn't be as good if it were 1st person, and Halo wouldn't be as good if it was 3rd.

I prefer first person in most shooter games. However, I preferred the "over the shoulder" look in Resident Evil 4, as it was much more effective.

I prefer first person because shooting in third person kinda frustrates me especially when I have to turn 180 just to gun down someone behind me.

I like both.

I generally prefer 1st person but some games suit 3rd person. Oblivion has the option for both 1st and 3rd but unless you are on a horse 3rd person looks a little bit off, your character doesn't seem to be running looks more like they're sliding along (I suppose Oblivion isn't 3rd person on the 360, but you can adjust the zoom on the PC version).

I would say I prefer TPS only because Halo 3 has a TPS effect to it when you use turrents and such, if you ask me every game got TPS in it and FPS so it really all just a mix of both worlds (Enless you play Battlefield 2142 then when you drive you still drive in FPS annoys me so....) Dispite this GoW has a FPS effect when you zoom kinda although you cant say it FPS it isnt a TPS view then either ;P and Halo 3 when you use vehicles and turrents you are in TP so you cant say it really a FPS game. They are all mesh and mixed together in a way where it don't matter. I just prefer games where I can see around me because in real life you got Optical Vision that lets you see to the side and crap and your hearing is better than on a game. So yah TPS helps so you don't need the game blastin to hear a grenade fall behind you !O.o! I guess I pick TPS haha!! Oh well, I like em both wouldnt degrade any game based on the vision you had while playin enless it was so dark and you didn't have a flashlight... oh so dark! Arrgh!!!

Couldn't agree more. GoW HAD to be TPS. I would play GRAW if it was a FPS as well.

I enjoy FPS. Ever since combat evolved... nay, ever since Goldeneye.
