Third-person Shooter




Third-person shooter (TPS) is a genre of 3D Computer And Video Games where the camera view is outside of, and thought of as usually being behind, the main Player Character . The name became commonplace following the popularisation of the First-person Shooter (or FPS), in order to allow the two types of "shooter" to be differentiated for eachother.

Because so many shooters employ Third Person cameras but are controlled in a manner similar to a first-person shooter, much confusion exists over what qualifies as a third-person shooter and what doesn't. Games such as '' Max Payne '' fit into the former category, embodying gameplay that mostly consists of shooting, and using a third-person camera exclusively. A number of shooters, including '' The Suffering '', bridge the gap between first-person shooters and this kind of game by offering either first- or third-person cameras.

Owing to the general nature of the term, many games are placed outside of the third-person shooter genre because their style is covered by a more specific genre label. The '''' is another popular third person shooter franchise.
Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront II are popular FPS/TPS.
