Is Uncharted a 3rd person shooter? Please come I request your imput! (Poll)

Its an "action" "adventure" game the "action" comes from the third person shooting and the "adventure" comes from the platforming segments. As far as I'm concerned it can't be action without the TPS and it can't be TPS without the action. Weither you want to use the word action or not its still a TPS. It's like how Killzone 2 and every other FPS is labeled as "action". If you want don't to call Uncharted a third person shooter and just call it an "action" game we might as well start calling every single FPS an "action" game rather than "FPS.

Your thoughts on the issue?

what's imput? is that like input?

is there a real point to this topic?

or is it just to discuss what genre uncharted is in..

i would class uncharted as a action/adventure game. you play 3rd person and you have guns but thats not the focus of the game.

put it side by side with a game like gears which is a true 3rd person shooter and there not that similar at all, therefore in my opinion uncharted is not a 3rd person shooter.

The fact you do more than just shoot means it isn't a shooter. It is an action adventure game. A third person shooter is the same gameplay as a first person shooter only set in the third person. FPS are nothing but hours of explosions and shooting. Third person shooters are games like Socom and Gears of War...good games but all you do is shoot everything that moves. Just having guns and shooting in a game isn't what make it a "shooter". If it was, then 99% of every game ever to come out were shooters. Twisted Metal could be called a shooter. Tomb Raider. Hell, Assasin's Creed and Silent Hill could be called a third person shooter then.

Typically "action/adventure" games are used to refer to games like Tomb Raider, Uncharted, etc. Games that have shooting, but also contain exploration, puzzle solving, climbing around on walls, etc. "Action" games typically refer to pure action games with little of those other things, like God of War and Ninja Gaiden.

BUt who cares, really, about what label a game falls under. If it is a good game, that is all that should matter.

p.s. Who has ever called or labelledKillzone an action game? Everyone and their grandma calls it what it is...and FPS.

well that was quite stupid.. you cant call Unchated a TPS and you know it, the primary focus of the game is not gunplay.. its adventure.. thats like saying that a point and click adventure game is a shooter when you tell your character to use a gun dude.

EDIT

on a side note... i wouldnt bring politics up in a game forum.. its a good way to get the topic locked

There's also much more mercenary killing than "adventuring"

I would consider it a third person shooter, yes.

the story is an adventure... thats the adventure.. searching for a lost treasure, finding dark secrets to a mysterious past.. thats all adventureSuperMario254

3rd person shooter.

I would say action/adventure because it has platforming

its an action adventure third person shooter - it works for me

This thread is retarded, your arguing if its a 3rd person shooter. When the camera is in first person itsin first person. When its in 3rd person its 3rd person. Its an action adventure game that you play in 3rd person. Who cares what you call it. I dont call Deadspace a3rd person shooter, its a horror game played in 3rd person.

I would have picked the 2nd one, but the last one was to good to pass up.Nocturnal_Speed

when it comes to an adventure title that it does.. snadbox games are not adventurous at all.. its a sandbox, what your doing now is arguing that for example, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is not an adventure movie because the only form of adventure is in the story. :rolls eyes: its not a TPS no matter how much you would like it to be.SuperMario254

I take it your view is that I'm trying to call a hammock a bed.

My view is that you're calling a bed a bed and I'm calling it a Bett (German for bed)

all I know is that it's a good game8)

Its a combination of different genres... and what matters is that its a very good game.

Action adventure.

Eventhough there's a lot of gunplay in third person ..... there's also hand to hand combat , traversal , puzzles , jetski/jeep section , andtreasure hunting.

No... it's an action adventure... with third person shooting elements. How is this an issue anyway? Read the back cover of the game, that'll tell you.

Its an "action" "adventure" game the "action" comes from the third person shooting and the "adventure" comes from the platforming segments.

No sir it's not a third person shooter.

It's a action adventure with shooting aspect, think Lara Croft, only new generation. ;)

Of course it is a 3rd person shooter. Its not 1st person so what else could it be!

Yes it is! Your playing from a 3rd person perspective. God! USE YOUR BRAIN!

All I know is that it is a tremendous amount of fun. Who gives a crap about genre? Does that ever, ever matter? Ever?

So then according to your loose definition of "third person shooter", Twisted Metal, Air Combat,Tomb Raider and Mario Kart are also third person shooters. Because I guess all a game needs is a 3rd person pov, and the ability to "shoot" to be labelled a third person shooter.

I guess that 99% of games are either FPS or Third person shooter then?

Third person adventure/shooter/platformer, I guess.

Well the last time I remember playing this game you did use a gun, so I think it is blatantly obvious that it is a third person shooter!!!!!
