| MikeB said: @ Darc Requiem Hell people still call Gears of War a FPS. Which if thats the case, i guess Uncharted is an FPS too. Gears is very similar to a FPS, changing Motorstorm from a 3rd view perspective to an incar view still keeps the game being a racing game at its core. In some FPS games you can actually change your point of view to a 3rd person view perspective, would this make a new gerne? Uncharted is far more about platforming (climbing, jumping to edges, balancing, etc) with significant shooter elements dropped in, most similar game would be the Tomb Raider games. |
Gears of War isn't an FPS though. Cut the semantics, you were wrong period. Just because MGS has a first person view does not make it an FPS. On my second playthrough of Mass Effect my character specialized in sniping. It spent a good deal of the game in a first person view via Sniper scope. That doesn't make Mass Effect a FPS, it is still an RPG. The line you quoted me on was a sarcastic quip meant to be ridiculous because its untrue. Uncharted is not an FPS, neither is Gears of War. That was the whole point of the statement.
