1st/3rd Person Shooters: Two Genres, Hierarchical, Or Same

**Kalyx triaD** · 07-26-2010, 10:40 AM

I say same, there's much too little distinctions between 1st and 3rd person shooters. I've found that people regard them as vastly different, which I imagine is to validate accolades: one could say "_______" is a great 3ps but if said game was measured against shooters as a general genre it wouldn't get as much praise. Not that there's some conspiracy to make 3ps games look better than they are, just offering an example.

VG Forum weigh in.
