What is a second person view in a video game? I know third person is seeing the guy's actual whole body, and first is when you see just the gun. What is a second person view, then? |

"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." Reference: http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/2nd_20Person_20Shooter |

its when the narrator or the character you are playing as is not the protagonist but also is affiliated with the story. what i mean is that you are playing as a secondary character. the example grant gave is good but it doesnt just pertain to that. 2nd person gaming could be when you are using a commanding officer in a shooter to lead around a group of essential characters like in xcom. you are still part of the story but you are not the main focus. i cant elaborate on that answer because i havent actually played xcom but ive heard enough from friends. if there isnt a main character in xcom just imagine there are 2 or 3 and the example will instantly become understandable. hope this was helpful. |
