Once again I said maybe our stereotypes are wrong.  I understand what the common thought of what an FPS is again.  It's about there being movement of the main character and a gun showing.  We all understand the stereotype.

I'm simply saying just because there is a stereotype doesn't mean you can't talk technically which is what I've been saying this entire time.  I've included technically almost everytime.  Is a light gun shooter in first person perspective?  yea moreso than the stereotypical genre of FPS.  Is it a shooter?  once again yes.  Tehcnically light gun shooters are FPS.  That's all I've ever said and it's all been technical.

So I'll repeat it again, technically Duck Hunt is the best selling FPS ever.

Then I ask you this: from who's first person's view are you shooting from?? there's no character in Duck hunt..

its a light gun shooter,also it was bundled

The definition of first person is pitting you(the person interacting with whatever) as the main character. Meaning usually in a first person game the object of it is to pit you as the main character. Now of course this has trangressed to also meaning simply first person perspective where you see through the eyes of the main character, which is not the true definition of first person, but all the same.

But the character in Duck Hunt is you which makes it in reality the most true definition of first person which doesn't even detail perspective as first person is simply meant to be putting you within whatever is going on.

I've only spoke technically throughout this topic while you've spoke on behalf of the stereotypes. We don't disagree in anyway, it's just you are continuously making this harder.

The genre FPS is not the same as FPS. If they were there would be inconsistencies. Can we at least agree on that. I'm simply giving a perspective on this to further point out stereotypes in the gaming industry and possible moments of inspiration.

Good one but first person view is not the same as your own view... First person implies looking through someone elses eyes.. It's like a book.. your reading as if it where your own actions but Duck Hunt it is your own actions.. it like a shooting game on a carnival..

I specifically made a distinct disconnection from First Person and First Person Perspective haha. Not to mention it's First Person Shooter not First Person Perspective Shooter haha. You really are trying to argue this technical vs. stereotype thing aren't ya. Oh well your choice not mine.

So a flight simulator with guns is also a FPS?? just checking..

As long as those arcade games of old that had you in ship and shooting, such as Star Soldier are still called shooters then yea I don't see why not haha.

Hey it's not my fault people wanted to to call a genre so broad of a name haha.

Nooo.. they defined it fine.. you are broading the FPS subgenre only.. but that's your choice.. but atleast they are all shooters.. may it be FPS, Lightgun, on-rails, third person etc.. I'm gonna get some sleep.. its like 2:30 in the night... :)
