Shooting Games: ¿FPS or TPS?
¡Good evening, Steemians! I hope all of you to be very well. Tonight, I would like to ask you about shooting games. Certainly, this genre in the gaming nowadays is one of the most liked genre (if not the most liked one), and we can find two sub-genres related to it. First Person Shooter (FPS) and Third Person Shooter (TPS).
First Person Shooter, or FPS, refers to those games in which we see the action from the character perspective, like we were IN the game. We see what the character we are controlling sees: the landscape, the enemies, the weapon he/she is holding in his/her arms, and so on. This subgenre is mainly represented nowadays by titles such as Call Of Duty, Battlefield, Medal of Honor and many others.
Third Person Shooter, or TPS, refers to those games in which the action can be seen from a third person view, like the character we are using would be recorded and displayed in a display by a remote camera. We can see his/her whole body, and how the character interacts with the environment. Some famous examples of this subgenre are, for instance Uncharted, Dead Space and Gears of War.
Both categories of the shooter genre of videogames are played mainly online, but a few exceptions. We could say that FPS games dominate the market and connection to servers to its games, leaving the TPS in second place. However, Uncharted 4, a TPS, is still played at a high rate despite being an “old” title (Uncharted 4 was released on May 10th, 2016).
Personally, I’m not a fan of shooter games, although I have to admit that I enjoyed the Uncharted saga ¡a lot! And, about FPSs, I actually enjoyed the most the part nobody plays: the campaign (everybody seems to like the multiplayer more, and some people doesn’t even play the campaign mode at all).
So, Steemians, I ask you: ¿do you like shooting games? ¿Do you prefer FPS or TPS games?
