--- Quote from: Chrono on February 20, 2013, 01:56:00 AM ---But why FPS/TPS and not just shooter? Does the camera being behind the player change that much about the game to make it a completely different genre? --- End quote --- I believe shooter is the actual genre and first-person/third-person are adjectives. The problem is that so many popular shooters are first-person that people call the genre FPS without really thinking about it. |
