not possible since second person is referring to a character as you from a narratorial perspective. therefore you would have no control over what "you" were doing

[QUOTE="v3n0m111"][QUOTE="kpsting"]or maybe that would be a shooter where your goal is to be shot at and die. not much fun in that, unless you are a wackoDGFreak
Hehe. Wacko.:D What if, in this second person shooter, you are playing the role of a terrorist? That doesn't make sense. It'll still be first person.
The idea is crazy but if you mount the camera on your target while you run in to attack and finish him, you would have a 2nd person shooter. When you kill your enemy, the camera should move to your next target and again view from his perspective as you move forward. Would it be fun? Dunno... maybe if it's done really cool...Â
it could be fun if your character moved according to your narative, you could tell a story as you played i.e as i WALKed FORWARD down the street I saw an enemy with a huge gun aimed right at me, I DIVED to my RIGHT and KNEELing DOWN behind a bin I AIMED at my TARGET and began SHOOTING, After i saw him die I STOPped SHOOTING and carried on WALKing FORWARD lame example but im sure it could work to a certain degree, maybe in a 2D scroller
or maybe a game that worked off continuous commands, i.e up,up,up,up,up,left,left,left,duck,aim at head,shoot,shoot,shoot,stand,up,up,up,up,up, lol

That sounds like a out-of-body experience (combined with a near-death, eh, "actual death" experience). You know, in some games with f*cked up camera control or no control at all, i.e. you can't see where you are going, this is already a reality. I hate those kind of games and I would surely hate a second preson shooter as well for that reason. Although the thought of it is interesting, the result would be less than that.

The last level or so for King Kong, where you're playing as Kong in the city and the trucks with cannons are firing at you, there is a 2nd Person perspective from the artillery commander's view. It's quite annoying as suddenly Kong will turn in a different direction than where you were going, and you have to run towards the truck to destroy, then your view goes back to 3rd Person. So it DOES exist in some games.
