Yes, the commander just has a digital overlay so you're seeing what he sees. :P

I really don't understand why GOG doesn't use "FPS" for First Person Shooter games. And plus they mix space shooters with FPS games with the "Shooter" category. So how is a game like related to [url=http://www.gog.com/game/one_unit_whole_blood]Blood?

God sees it all! Our inferior brains need something called "interface" to zoom and switch height, but god actually is supposed to see it all simultaneously. Not sure if that entirely qualifies as F̶u̶n̶n̶y̶ ̶P̶o̶u̶n̶c̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶P̶e̶n̶g̶u̶i̶n̶ First Person Perspective.

Genres are broad. Very, very broad.

If you're watching your own character (that you control, not suddenly mind-controlled by another player or AI) shooting at the camera's location (the camera being attached to another character - AI or other player matters little), then the game would have second-person perspective, and would be incredibly weird to play.

Also, simple way to filter out FPS games - filter by genre: shooter, then search for fpp, now you have shooters with first-person perspective, ie. first person shooters.

I think there was a film like that once - was it 'Strange Days'?
Maybe it's a second time dimension you need for forth person perspective then - the perspective of someone becoming aware of the events as they happen in reverse from their perspective or from some strange time equivalent of the imaginary plane - iTime!

At the danger of sounding like Captain Obvious, FPP as a category has never made much sense to me. It's too broad of a feature. Games like Albion and Dungeon Keeper have FPP modes, in Albion the game switches to FPP when you're indoors and in Dungeon Keeper you switch to FPP when you take direct control of a minion. There's many games like that and they're all so completely different from each other. I mean, could be anything from looking into a periscope in Silent Service to finding items in a Hidden Object adventure game.
