Third Person Shooters vs First Person Shooters

[The Black Wolf]

Which would you rather play? Do you prefer third person shooters or first person shooters? I can't even get the hang of first person shooters, so you already know my answer.

[Lethal_NFS]

First person all the way for me! Unless it is Uncharted or Dead Space.

[THE_Tanglefoot]

I never really played 1st person until this generation of games. Last gen was all about 3rd person. Even after playing so many 1st person I still prefer 3rd. Especially Gears or Uncharted.

In my opinion, they cannot be compared. FPSs are truer to the genre and TPSs inculcate a variety of other elements e.g Role-playing.

[Kuro]

i like both though..i voted for fps cuz thats all i have atm lol

[itachi73378]

Don't play fps (only bioshock) So third person for me
Mass Effect
Uncharted
Dead Space
Resident Evil

THIRD PERSON FTW!

[keefy]

FPS and with a mouse.

[TekkenLord]

I more head towards TPS, but BF3 is all the FPS fun i need.

After seeing this, I am more of a 50/50 split.

[itachi73378]

[YoungMullah88]

[BoyBettaKnow]

This.

After starting to play Tribes my love for the genre has been strengthened even more


BBK. Tapatalking.

[keefy]

lol

[Abdou23]

I like both equally, i don't care if a game is 1st or 3rd.Nut when it comes to online i Only play 1st Person shooters.

[SynYster505]

I picked fps, though I like both. I have a lot more fps than 3rd.

[gumionday]

3rd Person for me, (just look at my next 3 games)but 1st is not too far behind.
Starhawk
Max Payne 3
Dragons Dogma

TPS > FPS IMO.

The only first-person games I enjoyed were Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and Killzone. I just think third-person games deliver a more realistic experience. FPS games don't necessarily give you peripheral vision, they (mostly) don't utilize cover systems/blindfire/etc.

[Funeralfog]

3rd. Uwe Boll can make a FPS

[TheMadTitan]

i play a lot of FPS games because thats whats been forced down our throats. but ill take gears of war 1 over any shooter this generation. even in the ps2 days socom was top dog for me.

[RaY_210]

Third person for me. FPS are ok, and I'll play them from time to time. But I just think they're too limiting from a gameplay perspective.

[Nitey]

My favourite games have been 3rd person games, so 3rd person

[Fenix]

PS2 gen, I hated FPS but loved TPS. This gen, there doesnt appear to be many TPS that interested me at all - The few new ones that due, seem to feel like tis low quality, or have a control scheme im not that fond of

[Sir_Scud]

Hard to say. I like both types of shooters, but to me what matters more is the game itself. This generation I have enjoyed far more FPS games than TPS. If the game is done well, I really don't care what perspective I'm firing from.

[Blacksite]

FPS and with a mouse.

This.

I like playing both first-person and third-person shooters though. Half-Life and the Uncharted series stand out as the finest of their respective genres.

[keefy]

Not like I hate TPS, I do not I do enjoy them if the game is good, its just that I feel more in control when playing a FPS, TPS always feel more cumbersome.

The lack of peripheral vision is to do with the low as heck FOV developers give the games these days sometimes as low as 60 degrees when 10 years ago it was closer to 90 degrees as in CS or half life.
