Encyclopedia > Third person shooter

A third-person shooter is a computer game in 3-D where the camera view is outside and usually behind the main player character. This is in contrast to the in-character view of first-person shooters. Many modern FPS incorporate a optional third person view such as Mafia and others. Which title is used for a game when both views are avialable varies. Many RPGs are third-person shooters, and many other games such as flight simulators and many driving games have a third person view available.


Games in this genre include:

Halfbakery: 2nd Person Shooter (1988 words)
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.
Third-person shooter - Encyclopedia Gamia (0 words)
A third-person shooter, at its core, is a video game in the shooting genre where the camera during gameplay is primarily focused in a third-person viewpoint.
Third person is a viewpoint where the player controls a character externally.
Unlike first-person shooters, where a player controls the character from the character's viewpoint, the camera is zoomed out of the character's "body", letting the player view the character in the game in full view.
