  sffworld.com - 1st or 3rd person?
Personal experience: I've written two fantasy novels, which both were third-person with multiple points of view, and one first-person short story.
However, in 1st person writing, the narration comes across as the reader "riding" on the protagonist's shoulder, knowing what the protag is doing, thinking, and feeling (but not the other characters).
In 3rd person, the narration is a device that allows the reader to know the thoughts and actions of all the characters but only from a 'distance', like watching TV or movie but you (as the reader/ viewer) getting the bonus of knowing the all the characters thoughts and feelings too.

 1st or 3rd person? - Eidos Forums
I personally believe that 3rd person should have been nixed as soon as it was brought up.
I think first person is the best mode for playing games like this, because you can fully dive into the atmosphere of the game, to feel everything, to feel that when someone shoots at you it will hit you and you'll feel a pain somehow.
3rd person is not as fun to me, i don't like to see what i'm doing i want to actually feel what i'm doing.

 1st Person Vs. 3rd Person - Absolute Write Water Cooler
I have been writing my current ms in the 1st person, however I am wondering how the tone of the story would change if I were to write it in 3rd person instead.
3rd limited lends itself to intimacy/immediacy with your MC and yet enables you to head jump if you so choose (with a break for a change of scene or character of course), but something about it forces you to be aware of the show don't tell rule, which is why I like it.
But third person can also be nice...however, it's harder to keep the reader guessing in some ways, especially if you start going off into tangents or being way-omniscient, ven if you don't want to reveal it all.

 GameSpot Forums - PlayStation 2 - 1st person or 3rd person?
While 1st person is supposed to be more realisitic, it's just the opposite in a video game as you have no control of your surroundings and can be easily surprised.
I agree...I like 3rd person the best because you can actually see what's behind you and whatnot, which helps when people are shooting at you.
I know that 1st person games make it seem like you are really there, but the camera / control problems that you mentioned are enough to make me not want to play them nearly as often as I do 3rd person games.

 IGN Boards - 3rd Person?
I personally love third person, but I still play games like Metroid Prime (which has some third person to it, too), so I guess I'm 1 and 4.
However a 1rst person feature like the accurate shooting on GUN or some first person based special mission would be pretty cool.
Although, I wouldn't mind a 1st person for gun firing...but it wouldn't hurt to have it a straight 3rd person action game.

 VN Boards - 1st or 3rd Person?
I didn't use first person until I found out you can set it to draw your animations in combat, in the settings.
I usually use 3rd person, but sometimes I find myself in places or situations where it's hard to position the camera.
I use the 12th person concept myself, where your buddies play the game with their workstations setup on a football field and you cheer them on from the bleachers.

 1st, 2nd 3rd person
By definition, first person means the speaker/narrator, second person means the listener/reader, and third person means everybody and everything else.
The first person (plural) is when you speak for a group of persons (at least two) that includes you.
The second person is the way you address the person(s) you are talking to.

 LucasForums - Playing in 3rd Person vs Playing in 1st Person
I suspect the best saber fighters will be the players who constantly change between 1st and 3rd person depending on what sort of fight it is (numbers on screen, terrain, shooters around etc.).
Using 3rd person mode allows you to judge where your going and where you are currently at much easier than in 1st Person Mode.
I had no trouble with sabers in 3rd person during Jk1, or the staff in Heretic 2, or the assortment of weapons in Rune.

 3rd person cam - Desert-Conflict.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Are you fellas planning on adding 3rd person toggle cam to infantry..like whats on the vehicles but just for the infantry part.It was really a great thing in DC for sig makers to get some good shots and positions for sig makeing with the soliders.
The 3rd view was used by guys planting c4 and hiding around the corner,who was on roofs etc.implementing it just so someone can make a sig is a bad idea imho.
I think 3rd person is necessary in vehicles, but not in infantry mode.

 3rd person view - FileFront Gaming Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
I played EQ alot, and the melee was so intense with first person that when I tried Daoc, (FPP is limited/useless), I couldn't get into the combat nearly as much.
There are also those who argue that you need to see your character's body to relate to his pain and general health (see the torn clothes, dented armor, bleeding wounds, etc).
Fact is, that because of the type of combat (the lunging dives, and rolls, and the Matrix style bullet time effects) 3rd person really is the best way to play Max (I've tried a 1st person mod for it, and it just doesn't work).

 3rd person view? - BeyondUnreal Forums
In 1st person mode, since you are looking out the eyes of the object, the engine doesn't draw the entire model (since the model exists outside of your vision).
In 3rd person mode, the camera is offset so its behind the origin of the object by a specific vector magnitude.
3rd person is great for testing a map.

 VN Boards - 3rd Person View
I love PS, but I think it would be great to have a cross-hair in 3rd person view, especially while piloting reavers and such, I know people say they try to make it realistic but I like being aware of my surroundings and especially not running into crap while flying planes that shoot.
I have like 600 greif points from accidently trying to land and plowing thru tanks and people, I jus need the 3rd person view to be effiecent with it.
By adding a third person view with crosshair to third person troops - you almost change the feel of the game into a action game, rather than a first person shooter (to me, at least).

 3rd person camera system tutorial - Ogre Wiki
As the opposite of other 3rd/1st person camera systems, here the camera is "detached" from the whole scene (except from the root node -that's crucial for it to work ;)).
Further sight nodes will mean the character will me more offseted from the center of the screen (for instance, if the character is in "investigation" mode in a 3rd person camera game, in the opposite of a "walk around" mode).
As the camera is independent to any other object in the scene, we will work with world coordinates.
