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
