StaceyPowers Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 In games where you play in third person, do you feel “far away” from the action? I do in some, but not in others; it seems to depend on where the camera is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Outside of a few exceptions, not really. I still feel quite immersed in almost every third-person game available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Absolutely! I noticed that the camera placement can make or break immersion in third-person games. So, If the camera is too far away, I feel detached from the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little things like the screen slightly shaking or blurring when taking an action does tend to make third-person action more immersive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed with you on that! but with a very clever camera work, visual effects, and responsive controls, it can definitely bridge the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Yes. Third-person perspective creates distance between me and the game world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely understand where you are coming from. The third-person perspective can create a sense of detachment truly. This is noticeable in games that focus on storytelling.

Some games, like Max Payne or Uncharted, use the third-person perspective more effectively and the right camera angles and animations really helped to minimize the distance.

HowHammerYou Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 On the contrary, I have a harder time feeling immersed in first-person games. It always feels like I'm walking around with a box on my head, which is incredibly distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
