Last check: 2007-10-08) The first first person shooter with colored walls, floors was Wolfenstein 3D (1992) from id Software; it was shortly supplanted (1993) by the genre-defining DOOM, which introduced network multiplayer capabilities and thereby guaranteed the persistence of the FPS in gaming formats; the real thrill of these already-atmospheric games comes from blasting colleagues, strangers, spouses etc. The appeal of the FPS lies in immersive frenetic blasting with a touch of verisimilitude, humour, puzzle-solving and claustrophobia.

UnrealWiki: First Person Shooter AI Architecture Artificial Intelligences (AIs) in First Person Shooter (FPS) game architectures tends be organized and controlled as seperate, individual agents, rather than coordinated teams that are synchronized to the same strategy playbook. Since combat is the core gameplay dynamic in most FPS games, the performance of this subsystem will be crucial to the player’s perception of the AI.

After all the hype for the sequel to the only good 3D Star Wars FPS ever made, I was terribly disappointed in JK2: Jedi Outcast.

Realism & Subjectivity in First-Person Shooter Games | Kairosnews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) As video games and the genre of the first-person shooter have become increasingly detailed and “immersive,” manufacturers, gamers and critics have often remarked on the realistic experience these games afford players. In November 2002, editors of the satirical publication The Onion mined the phenomenon in their typical nothing-is-sacred manner, conjuring an article about the delayed release of an “ultra-realistic” first-person shooter called Beltway Sniper: Silent Strike. As this paper will argue, the impression of realism and interactivity in such first-person shooter (FPS) as id Software's DOOM and Quake II is not due to the advancement of technologies towards a paragon of interactive reality but from the technological differentiation of games in production, a differentiation that is naturalized as realistic and interactive. kairosnews.org /node/view/3701   (603 words)
