Game View Perspective

[Turbo10]

Just wondering about viewpoints from games, you have fps obviously and third person for platformers. These can vary such as gears of war being over the shoulder and many games being able to toggly between third and first person.
But has there been any other radical viewing options? I know what makes arma 2 unique is the way you can point your gun in one direction and look the other, But seriously if they are trying to make games more realistic they should change how you see the game, yes when you pull a gun up to look down the sight you see the gun in the corner of your sight and etc, but you dont walk around with a gun strapped to the side of your head.

Anyway anyone know of any games with a very different viewing system or have any thoughts about the topic?

It depends on the game and how it plays. I never play Fallout 3 in first person because it plays horribly.

And i wouldn't (and you can't) play a first person shooter like CS:S in 3rd person. it jsut doesn't work that way.

And then theres RTS games, where you play as a god in the sky *interesting note here: I once saw a mod for command and conquer renegade where it turned multiplayer into c&c generals type gameplay, over the top view. then you could select a tank or solider and switch to 1st and 3rd person views from there... amazing really!
