FPS game evolution...

looks more like a comparison than an evolution

Couldn't the Doom POV just be him looking down his right arm, therefor making the arm look in the middle of his vision? Would mean he walks hella wierd though.

Karmac · 5 months

It's all in the FOV.

Trenchleaf · 5 months

actually doom one is most realistic.

Ihateyourdick · 5 months

Doom guy is almost trying to use the sights.

Close your right eye & hold your right hand like you were holding a gun. Now you know why games put it like that.

raisin_bran_in · 5 months

Are you calling goldeneye retarded?

zBodude · 5 months

I thought the Doom guy was left handed. http://images.wikia.com/doom/images/b/b3/Imp.png

tamponlollypops · 5 months

the doom one should be playing heavy metal guitar while it holds the gun to give homage to the original games soundtrack.

DeaJaye · 5 months

well, the top two are realistic insofar as you could hold a gun like that as you run around. You couldn't hit a barn door from the inside however.

cohrt · 5 months

looks like someone was on /v/ yesterday

holysocks · 5 months

at least Doom tried to aim

Airazz · 5 months

DOOM is retarded?

floop2011 · 5 months

You sir are a moron, who has never held a gun!

NonY450 · 5 months

Leaves two extra fists for MORE GUNS.

TheCake_IsA_Lie · 5 months

Not true, when you shoot a handgun one handed (or any gun for that matter), you turn your body to compensate for the recoil that your body will experience. If you shoot a shotgun for example, you will fall over if you are standing with your shoulder's square. Also, people generally close their nondominat eye to give themselves a sort of tunnel vision which helps focus on the sight of the gun. Hang guns being shot with one hand or two are the same thing. Doom is one of the more realistic ways to shoot. The other ones are all shooting for the hip which is a terribly stupid idea that is glorified in action movies. If you want to hit something, don't shoot from the hip.

kungfucharlie · 5 months

Doom view is possible - tilt your head - just not useful.

Realistic view is only realistic when you have no clue what you're doing. If you want the real realistic view, place your left foot slightly more forward than your right and then hold up your right arm holding the gun. It will naturally be over in front of your face lining up the sights with your right eye. (reverse feet if your left eye dominant or left handed).

Sect312 · 5 months

realistic would have no gun and only crosshairs. Nobody hipfires from their face.

paranoidbeemer · 5 months

I notice that none of these options have the gun held with two hands... the way people do it when they actually intend to hit their target.

_rafiki_ · 5 months

The first post is obviously an attack on counter strike.

I say let downvote this COD loving asshole!

Paultimate79 · 5 months

Looks like the person who drew this never fired a fucking gun

feor1300 · 5 months

So wait, the Doom guy was one of the Zombies from Wolfenstein?

SenorFreebie · 5 months

Your realistic POV is only possible if you detach the arm from the usually theoretical body by a good 1 meter. Game dev speaking.

Also, doom POV aligns to how a ready to sight gun would be held and the 'retarded' one is how a gun would appear to the left eye, while held off to the side.

There is a huge dichotomy in this where camera FOV is often faked in the first person view to allow people such as yourself with incorrect attitudes to take it as more realistic vs. this idea of 'iron sighting' as well where a view that should already be available to a sighted individual is transitioned from a left camera.

imthehacker · 5 months

the position of the camera is not the position of the players face.

No one ever claimed the point of view was from the players eyeballs

silkforcalde · 5 months

You... you don't understand FOV at all do you?

JacenSolo9 · 5 months

I love the fact that one the first one, the retarded one, the gun is pointing to the inside of him on the left and on the right it's pointing to the outside. Brilliant.

whambangbang · 5 months

I thought the title was FAPS game. Got excited for nothing.

verxix · 5 months

Not to mention how much peripheral vision is missing from Skyrim and the like.

sonofarex · 5 months

And then there was this game

You could adjust your arm and wrist to the point where you could be pointing the gun at yourself. Also you were a chick and if you looked down you could see a set of tits with a heart tattoo

The_Govenment · 5 months

In what direction is it evolving?

Show_you_mine_if_ · 5 months

Doomguy is obviously a Vortigaunt.

Obviously.

Secretly_a_spider · 5 months

Actually, the "retarded" option makes sense when you use a proper FOV because of the distance between you and the monitor.

wanbo37 · 5 months

Shouldn't this be in r/gaming?

Zelik · 5 months

Was the lack of the character's legs intentional? Because in lots of FPSs you can't see your own legs when looking down, either.

zekkerjah · 5 months

They are just different perspectives, ie. there is no "real" way to portray any of these, and any of them could be achieved with a camera and the right lens in reality. Certainly it is entirely subjective as to which one is "retarded" and which is the "best".

brandondash · 5 months

Actually Steven Segal holds pistols that close.

worldchampnick · 5 months

Oh yes, of course, you totally can't rotate your shoulder.

captainmcr · 5 months

Looks like the doom guy is just standing sideways to be a smaller target, no arm in chest shit. Also this is a comparison, everyone else and their grandmoms have already said it, but I felt I had to add that in before I called the op a "numb nuts". Op you're a numb nuts. Or maybe you have numb nuts...?

benreeper · 5 months

There was a game about a decade ago call Global Ops IIRC. I swear to God the guns were sideways.

Confucius_says · 5 months

if you think the "realistic" picture is a realistic way to shoot a pistol accurately then all I've got to say is you watch too many action movies.

Wait till you see Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and the first two of the Timesplitters trilogy. Your character appears to have telekinesis.

looc22 · 5 months

Doom is better.

MeowMooWoof · 5 months

You're forgetting Quake, as well.

FloppY_ · 5 months

OP you forgot the killshot

Paranoism · 5 months

....what about Quake?

rotato · 5 months

Games evolved from doom to retarded? Seems legit.

PurpleSfinx · 5 months

I'm no gun user but for 'realistic' wouldn't you hold a gun with a slight bend in your elbow? And maybe with two hands?

Viviparous · 5 months

Realistic would be two hands on the gun, not a guy holding his arm out and trying to hit the side of a truck / dislocate his shoulder

Bennyy100 · 5 months

what if he was standing sideways with his arm out sort of thing

albatrossnecklassftw · 5 months

Anyone else imagine themselves as being an ostrich when playing doom? I always felt I was an ostrich because of the way the gun an head bobbles when running. I might just be weird like that...

ridger5 · 5 months

I've come to realize that the "hip shooting" angle used by many games is just the gun brought up to your shoulder, but then you close the eye closest to the gun and only look through the other.

stoned_commentor · 5 months

i don't like FPS's very much because of this and the fact i'm bad. but it makes it kind of flashier, which at this point games like CoD and most things from EA but these are what we're buying and i want to like them but they are shit. im sorry but i hate battlefield 3 and ANY CoD game because at this point dice is lost. i'm sorry but they are a great company and my be able to go back to its roots as an independent company. we have the internet, it is the independent generation. or revolution. maybe thats passed. i'm younger than most redditors and am not a 90's kid. i remeber shit from the late 90's like fearbies, oopse i did it again, and the backstreet boys. but thats about it, i'm a 2000's kid, deal with it, im 17, at this point yes, you're kinda old. i am the generation that is doing this, we are causeing corprate to be as cheap and flashy as possible. we need a nother revolution. not over thorwing the govern't but an indepeandant revolution. there is still a govern't but you must make money independantly and from scratch, but i feel it is too late. that is my regret that if the world ends soon it will be through american fashism

munkinstein · 5 months

Second one is not realistic considering most protagonists in video games would have had some firearms training. No one who wants to hit things consistently fires a handgun with one outstretched hand, it's just fucking dumb, you have no control, and it takes much longer to get back on target.

How to properly hold a handgun

[deleted] · 5 months

3 arms in Doom, and he still couldn't hold a flashlight at the same time.

CCSS · 5 months

Drawn by somebody who has obviously never held and fired a pistol.

Wondering_Wandering · 5 months

Whgat? Nah, in doom your head was always aiming down the sights. Really, it should be a bit tilted.

Lysergic-25 · 5 months

Whoever made this is a moron, the Doom one is the most realistic you look straight down the barrel when you shoot to line up the sights you don't look at the side of the gun like the other two examples, here Doom Shooting

radredditor · 5 months

Actually, covert operatives and special forces (CIA, Navy SEALs, etc) are trained to hold the gun close to their bodies, much like it shows in the top frame - though not so much close to the face. It's more to conceal the pistol in the operatives place, and also reduce the chance of someone snatching your gun at close range. Also more maneuverable and such.

Muirbequ · 5 months

I don't know why you would want an arm covering half of your view. It's good game design. It's not a simulator...

d00m3d_d00d · 5 months

Doom. Not even once.

TotemoTanaka · 5 months

I'm not about to look through all the comments, but the reason that COD has the gun all the way there is because they're supposed to be holding it at their hip when you're not aiming down sights

Tabesh · 5 months

Trespasser would like to have a word with you all.

MattBootyBulan · 5 months

I believe Battlefield falls under realistic thank you very much.

CoD is stupid.

TehRedBaron · 5 months

That's funny... when I look down the sights of a gun, the thing is squared in my vision like the "Doom" picture. If you see the side of the gun while you're aiming, you're doing it wrong.

tiyx · 5 months

Ummm. The Doom version is the realistic version. You don't hold a side arm slanted and of to the side when shooting.

funny
