ABSTRACT

FPS is more than putting the player into the head of the protagonist; it’s all about the direct corollaries. Your adrenaline is the character’s adrenaline, your racing heart is the character’s racing heart. And sometimes, even the reverse is true. You get startled, the character misses his shot, thank you very much F.E.A.R. You see ally soldiers in distress, you run to save them, thank you Halo andMedal of Honor series. The motivations are primal, the goals visceral. We are, after all, inside the character’s head in a cinematic experience that plays in surround sight and sound.
