This perspective, which is especially common in shooters and open-world RPGs, attempts to show the world from the character’s perspective. Let’s start by examining the first-person perspective. I will look at some of the pros and cons of each, and finally evaluate how each of these can serve different types of games. Today, I am going to take a look at the differences between these two camera perspectives, and how this decision can influence the design of a game. Since Mario 64 is from Lakitu’s perspective, does that count as second-person? And I cannot count how many times I have heard the offhand statement that “this game would be better in first person” or vice-versa. This decision will have a big role in shaping the rest of the design of the game, and can also determine how players view your game.įor the past several years, the classic debate has been been between third-person and first-person cameras – which is better, and for what games? It is not uncommon to hear a player claim that they “only play first-person games”, while other players flatly refuse to play games with this type of camera perspective. Perhaps one of the most defining decisions that can come up when designing a Shooter, Action, or Open-World RPG is deciding the default camera perspective. When designing a game, every decision plays a part in defining the overall player experience.
