Video game perspective

_{Introduction.}

Perspective is the way you see the game, for example there would be first person, third person, Arial and 2d scrolling. The different types of perspective affects your experience in a game.

First person.

First person perspective is when you see the game/ world in the same perspective as the character, this would mean that you could experience the same emotions or feelings that the character would as you feel that you are that character and experience the world in the same the character would. First person is mostly used in first person shooters and plane/ car simulators, an example is Call of Duty: Advance Warfare you are first person and experiencing the game as if you were there and also felt kind of depressed when one of your team mate died (who is a key character in the game), another example is Counter strike Global Offence and battlefield.

 An advantage of first person is that you get immersed to the game and feel like you’re part of the game, for example battlefield 4 is first person and you are immersed in the game and feel that you are the actual character. Another advantage is that the graphics of the games are usually amazing for example battlefield 4 and last of all the other advantage is that you get more accurate shooting which leads to a better experience in the game.

Disadvantages to first person games is that you are limited to what you can see at one time and therefore miss some detail that can change your experience. Another negative of first person is that people could get motion sickness as it is a first person view. In addition the lack of cover can affect your first person experience as when your behind cover you are not able to see what is happening around you.

3rd person.

Another video game perspective is 3rd person and this perspective is based on the camera looking behind the character.
An advantage to 3rd person is that you are able to to see more of your environment which would mean you you will have more information to play with and increase your gaming experience. Another positive of 3rd is that it gives the creator of the game freedom to let them make more imaginative and creative ideas.

A negative thing about 3rd person games is that they are usually not realistic and so people might not feel involved the game, it also means that people cant relate to the game and therefore do not develop attachments to the characters. Another negative to 3rd person is that it usually has bad graphics and therefore people might not enjoy there experience, having good graphics can affect how peoples experience are whilst playing the game.

Arial games.

In addition the other game perspective is Arial and this type of games is is set on birds eye view perspective. An advantage of Arial games is that you are able to see around you and therefore gain more information of your environment which could help with your gaming experience. Another positive is that it requires skill to play and so when you do something good you feel very satisfied when you do something good. for example in League of legends it is know to be a highly strategical game and so when you win or get an objective you feel satisfied.

A negative concept about Arial games is that you have to control many things at once for example your character/ characters, camera, your abilities and items and this can be very confusing to new people. Another bad concept about Arial games is that you wont see the game in the character's perspective which mean that you cant get attached to the character and would not get immersed into the game,

2D scrolling.

2D scrolling games are type of games were you see the game from a side way type of view. some positives of 2D scrolling games are that you are able to see where you are about to go which can prepare you for what is coming up as you can see everything that is going on. Another positive is that these types of games isn't hard to play and anyone can play it as you usually only have to go straight and jump.

A negative to these types of perspectives is that if you miss something the the game usually don't let you turn back which could mean that you wont experience the game fully. Another negative is that the graphics isn't usually the best and therefore people can immures themselves in the game.
