DEFINITION OF

FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS

• First-person shooters are a type of three-dimensional shooter

game, featuring a first-person point of view with which the

player sees the action through the eyes of the player character.

• They are unlike third-person shooters, in which the player can

see (usually from behind) the character they are controlling.

The primary design element is combat, mainly involving

firearms.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF FPS

Stage 1: From 1970s to 1992

Stage 2: From 1992 until now

1970S-1992

• The earliest two documented first-person shooter video

games are Maze War and Spasim

1970S-1992

1970S-1992

Catacomb 3-D (1991) also

introduced the display of the

protagonist's hand and

weapon (in this case, magical

spells) on the screen,

whereas previously aspects

of the player's avatar were not

visible

1970S-1992

The game “Ultima Underworld: The

Stygian Abyss” (1992) was

featured a first-person viewpoint

and an advanced graphics engine

1992-NOWThe game “Doom” (1993) was added improved textures,

variations in height (stairs the players character could

climb) and effects (flickering lights, patches of darkness),

creating a more believable 3D environment

1992-NOW

Star Wars: Dark Forces

(1995) had several new

features such as freelook,

dual-wielded and dual-

function weapons, versatile

multiplayer modes,

friendly NPCs, and a strong

emphasis on storytelling in

addition to the action

1992-NOW

The game, especially the

version Counter-Strike:

Source (2004) went on to

become by far the most

popular multiplayer first-

person shooter and

computer game

modification ever, with

over 90,000 players

competing online at any

one time during its peak.

1992-NOW

• Finally, Far Cry (2004) and Crysis (2007) as well as Ubisoft's Far Cry 2 (2008)

would break new ground in terms of graphics and large, open-ended level

design, whereas Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007), Resistance: Fall of

Man (2006) and its sequel Resistance 2 (2008) presented increasingly refined

linear levels and narratives, with the fast pace and linearity of the Call of Duty

games bearing a resemblance to rail shooters

• In 2006, GamaSutra reported the first-person shooter as one of the biggest

and fastest growing video game genres in terms of revenue for publishers
