i feel like a truly 2nd person game would involve you witnessing your actions through other people’s eyes and then also seeing how your actions effect them
look for a game called ai dungeon. At first glance it might seem a bit confusing, however if you pay attention to how this game is "narrated" to the player, you will understand the concept closer from a 2 person perspective.
Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy does something alike to that: You play two characters: The first an alleged criminal escaping an investigator by clearing clues and evidence he might leave, the second one... the investigator picking up on what you left or how you botched cleaning up.
Game like a found footage, You're investigating the main character's disappearance. Through the found footage you control the main character, and only the main character not the investigator.
I wouldn’t consider that 2nd person, since the investigator isn’t actually present in the same world. There’s a distance with found footage. You as the player can’t clearly see you’re looking through the investigator’s perspective, if that makes any sense. It’s more like you’re merging into the main character’s perspective, either through first or third
So just 1st person? or when you look at the VHS player, the screen doesn't take up the whole screen. Rather, you see it through the investigators eyes?
@@Radio_ink114 You'd see it through the investigators eyes, but you're only in control of the Character on the VHS screen. But the investigator might have agency of some kind. Like he changes types or takes note of what the player is actually doing.
Some dev out there needs to make an entire game about stalker- you play the character being stalked but the view is from the perspective of the stalker the entire time
Imagine you dont actually know this until the game ends. Maybe you can see your camera stalker from specific angles in mirrors and windows but you dont know who it is until you reach the end and its revealed that you’ve been looking through the eyes of the horror you’ve been trying to escape
I remember how in "spider man shattered dimensions" there was a mission in which you had to dodge bullets, and the camera was from the eye of a sniper, but you still controlled the spiderman
It means you controlling a character through the eyes of another character Ps. Mario 64 has a confusing story behind the perspective, which makes it seem like it falls into this category, but please note there’s more to it than just the one sentence you see above. Mario 64 is third person. First and foremost, Lakitu is supposedly a cameraman, what would mean you’re looking through the camera, not Lakitu’s eyes. Besides that, it’s all about the perspective. The perspective you see while playing the game is third person, with or without Lakitu... Pps. English is my second language, so I would be really proud of myself if everything said above is correct and coherent. I have an (Dutch) essay coming up, so this is a good practice... i think.
So basically you are spectating someone seeing you while you control the person that the person that you are spectating is seeing you That would be weird.
I watched a game called No One Lives Under the Lighthouse and there is a chase segment in which the perspective is from the monster chasing you, the character. It works very well with the surreal setting.
I can imagine a whole “second person” game based on this concept of playing as a person from the view of another person, you could be a person being stalked, trying to kill your stalker, all from the view of your stalker
Xuan Boone Well not really. For it to be a third person perspective the “third person” needs to be completely detached from anything that is going on in the game. The third person does not exist in the game’s universe, but watches everything from outside. With a second person stalking game, the camera follows the perspective of an actual person that exists around the protagonist without being the protagonist itself.
@happyspaceinvader508 it would be a third person POV to us, sure. But, by definition, wouldn't it be a 2nd person POV if you are the one controlling the drone and see yourself walking live?
We non-gamers are very familiar with "second person" games... we've watched our siblings, relatives, friends, and SOs carry out many a mission while sitting next to them on the couch!
@@drdnd5078 siren was so underrated. And siren blood curse was fucking amazing. I remember doing the haunted house on Playstation home was my favorite cause it was so hard and scary
@@cooperperkins1847 not sure about that game but I Live Dead by Daylight where you can play either as one of four survivors with their pov as third person or play as a killer with pov of first person.
Like, you see yourself but at the same time you have to find a way of hiding from the character whose perspective you are watching. Where can I play something like this???
There is a game that goes very close this idea, siren blood curse. In it you have an ability that lets you “sight jack”, aka you can see the enemies perspective. Yet you still control your character with third person camera
It’s simple. 1st person: I watch through my eyes. 3rd person: I watch through his eyes. 2nd person: I watch through your eyes. As you can see 3rd person is picked slightly at random to describe watching yourself through a camera that follows you everwhere. May as well refer to the camera as ‘you’, making it 2nd person. It’s about an external view on yourself. The language theory application is arbitrary.
Lol I use to love doing that as a kid. When me and my brother would play HALO Co-op I would always look at his screen and control myself from that perspective whenever possible
My little sister always says something like "haha I'm cheating cuz I can see your screen" whenever we play split screen together. It's really funny and cute.
1st person: Through the character's eyes 2nd person: Seeing your character through another character's eyes 3rd person: Seeing your character through your eyes
Before you even said anything about driver San Francisco I literally thought of this game and my god the memories it brought back. I remember when it came out and me and brother obsessed over finishing it. Great video ❤
Interesting idea and for game mechanic i suggest: 1. Not being able to control the people movement 2. Add some kind of mental illness element like you take over someone that is suffering hallucinations
@@darrenjimenezreyes2798 but in life we can become the maniac if we chose to as well....? haha i'm just saying life is already crazy and to go around having a game where you have that happen would be real life like paranoia.
This is quite possibly one of my favorite videos on all of RUclips... Your narration skills, the editing, the timing and music choice... All just chefs kiss. This video always gives me chills like no other.
I don't know if you've played the driver games, but it'd be a seriously odd direction for the series. It's heavily inspired by american car films and as such is mostly based in America (though the studio who develop the series is British). That said it would be an interesting turn but I don't see it happening. Also i sadly doubt we'll see a new driver game any time soon :(
if there is a narrator in a game, that's second person I think and speaking of 2nd person games, I think undertale and deltarune are 2nd person games "you are filled with determination"
@@Makochips No, second person is the other person. 1'st Person. You see through eyes of the character. 2'd Person. Character is seen through someone else eyes. 3'd Person. Is when we see action from detached "flying bird" point of view.
This is now my 4th time watching this video. Everyone I see it, I watch it again. I just love that mission and your breakdown. Q&A : ARE YOU A SOULS FAN? WHAT TYPE OF GAMES DO YOU LOVE THE MOST?
Because when things are picked a part and appreciated on the level Nick is doing it makes everyone have a high level of love for it even if they've never played it
Lol. I recently played around with the level and got the car to turn over without crashing the mission. It just kinda sat there. Would recommend giving it a try, it's not a very long game, though I'm not sure if I share the idea that it's a really great game, it's unique.
@@whiterabbit75 that's essentially literally what happens when you drive the tanner's driving at the car Orlen's driving. The game doesn't know what to do so crazy shit happens. Somehow it doesn't crash the game.
First time I seen this was GTA III when you change camera angles while having wanted stars. At a certain angle it is from the police dashboard and you see you chasing you while fleeing from the police. Though it is not the main point of the game it does open the question of 2nd person games. This video is awesome and definitely earned a sub from this one
He made finding a game glitch sound like he found alternate realities and upset the universe and now spends his days dodging the universe's attacks on him as an attempt to quiet him but he's become too powerful
Honestly that's exactly how I feel when I find glitches in games, specially clipping through walls and floor. GTA San Andreas was probably the best game ever to find glitches...
Thrasher: Skate and Destroy was a skating game that used this concept in the end of their levels I believe. Once you hit a certain score or spent enough time in the level you'd get chased by a cop, and the game would flip to the cop's perspective while still having you in control of your skater running away. Fun game.
Exactly what I was thinking! And it was time based, by the way. The cop chases you after 2 minutes elapse and then you must either skate to the exit of the level or keep away long enough for the cop to give up. If I recall, you also get a bonus multiplier for landing tricks while being chased as it's hard to pull off and keep your speed.
This is so much in tune with the original spirit of Driver. Everyone who played the first two games in the PS1 era knows what I'm talking about. Crashes were spectacular and there were a lot of glitches just like the one analyzed here. Also, we could actually make little movies by watching the replays and adjusting the camera angles, using slow motion and everything.
I didn't, this video couldve been 5 minutes long instead it was Here's what second person would be Then ten minute sof describing a game level till you meet the standard 15 - 17 minute preferred youtube algorithm video length. These kind of videos can get in the sea quite frankly.
1st person is your view is where your character is. 3rd person your view is pointed at your character but at a distance. The only dfference i see here is that your view is also a character instead of a disembodied camera. An argument could be made this is still 3rd person.
The part in Obscure The Aftermath (2nd game of that franchise) where you have mei guide her sister (You're controlling said sister) in a basement as Mei watches from the security cams ( so it's kinda like The fixed angles of resident evil games on the Playstation 1 and Gamecube. I think that's a good 2nd player segment of a game from the Playstation 2 Era haha
@@MembersOfHistory the distinction between 2nd and third person is in 3rd the narrator or observation point is not involved in the action or story at all.
So you would be running away from... yourself? Also would be it galaxy brain to say that second person is when you see yourself through a recording your friend did of you?
This would be like watching yourself play through someone else’s eyes. This might actually be pretty cool, because your actions would be described from someone else’s perspective, possibly displaying the consequences of your actions more clearly.
But watching through someone else's eyes would be just a first person game would it not? You play a character in a 1st person game you see it through someone else's eyes...edit. I'm pretty high rn so please forgive me if I have missed some obvious detail lol
@@swiftripper7557 I think if you say that the camera is a character instead, the concept is better understood. You play the game, and a camera is watching you, but if that camera is actually someone you can interact with, THEN it's second person instead of third.
Edwin Contreras but then a person has to play it so it becomes 1st or 3rd view which could be classified as 2nd person but then since it’s a let’s play it becomes 1st or 3rd.
@@masonsaccount Yes! That would be really creepily weird, I'm gonna have nightmares now of me glitching through my bedroom ceiling to the 32 bit integer limit and my brain will crash... @(
I know I'm HELLA late for this video, But Just wanted to give you your props, as a Max Payne Fan. i appreciate you including Max Payne 2 at 1:33 . Great video btw 💪❤️
@ another example is when in a certain level in Spider Man Shattered Dimensions when the camera switch’s to the prospective of a sniper trying to snipe Spider Man even though Spider Man is the one you’re actually controlling.
The Final level of the Spongbob Squarepants Movie video game is another example when you’re trying to get King Neptune who is being mind controlled by Plankton to fire his sniper laser thing at frozen Mr Krabs.
The Siren series has a mechanic called sight jacking, where you can see the world through the eyes of NPCs/enemies. This is probably the best example of second person gameplay.
“Bright Lights, Big City” was an iconic ‘80s novel and it was written in second person. In the same era text based games were written in second person: “You are in a dark room.” For all practical purposes first and second are the same.
I could actually see this being a very interesting horror kind of game. You seeing things from the perspective of that which is hunting you. It would be disorienting and disturbing. Difficult to make work though as controlling yourself at the time would be major pain when out of view.
First time commenting here. Haven’t finished the video yet, but I liked and subscribed. I’m not even a gamer. I just have to say, this is one of the best videos I’ve watched on RUclips in the last decade. The concept discussed and the articulation of the storyline are great. Fantastic work. Had me losing it when you broke the game. 11/10
Text games and RPGs are the perfect example of second person gameplay. With every decision you take, a feedback describing your actions pops up, “you picked up the axe.” “You ran away.” “You cried out for help, but nobody came.”
@Draaygons I agree with you, since there’s always presence of a first or third person POV in video games it’s hard to accurately point out true second person experiences; but In that matter I still think I’m speaking facts when I exemplify second person with text games and RPGs because, as I said before, games of those sorts will use second person to give the player direct participation in the story without having to animate it explicitly.
*Nick sitting on the edge of his bed at 3 am on a Tuesday* "I wonder how many times I can mention Driver: San Francisco in an unrelated video before its too much"
7th person: You are controlling a cringe finnish youtuber which has over 200 000 subs (Why are you looking me like that? I'm not controlling Paqpa or am i?)
In fact "The Stanley Parable" is a 2nd person game if you assume that you are playing as Stanley. Although the narrator speaks in 3rd person, he is speaking about the actions "Stanley" will take, should take, or has taken, but since you have assumed the roll of Stanley, the narrator is actually telling *you* (the one playing as Stanley) the actions *you* should take, have taken, or should have taken. The problem with a 2nd person perspective story or game is that you can choose NOT to do what you are told to do, which is the core idea behind "The Stanley Parable".
@@PeterReynolds2042 The classic example of 2nd person is an instruction manual. It tells you what to do, then you do them. In the gaming space, a lot of games tell you what to do and then when competed it tells you the next thing to do. A second way to think of a 2nd person is that you tell the game what to do. Then it accomplishes that task. For that my first thought was dwarf fortress, but many 4x and sim building games would qualify.
I played Driver SF for too many years trying to enjoy every little detail and yet, i never noticed this "Feature". I just have strong emotions for this game cuz i grew up with it and you just made those emotions stronger, thank you!❤️
The best way to experience this in real life, Is driving beside a semi and seeing your car in their blind spot mirror. Seeing yourself drive past in the mirror or being beside it where you can see your car is the weirdest feeling.

I don't want to know what will happen to this channel if Ubisoft makes Driver: Tokyo
Likely a video series.
I don't know if you've played the driver games, but it'd be a seriously odd direction for the series. It's heavily inspired by american car films and as such is mostly based in America (though the studio who develop the series is British).
That said it would be an interesting turn but I don't see it happening. Also i sadly doubt we'll see a new driver game any time soon :(
Well whatever happens, I can guarantee you that it will happen in Japan.
I needed to get this game .1 microseconds early. So I boarded a flight to Japan.

Lol. I recently played around with the level and got the car to turn over without crashing the mission. It just kinda sat there. Would recommend giving it a try, it's not a very long game, though I'm not sure if I share the idea that it's a really great game, it's unique.

First time I seen this was GTA III when you change camera angles while having wanted stars. At a certain angle it is from the police dashboard and you see you chasing you while fleeing from the police. Though it is not the main point of the game it does open the question of 2nd person games. This video is awesome and definitely earned a sub from this one

Kenny Warren you, you sly bastard
So third-preson
Thrasher: Skate and Destroy was a skating game that used this concept in the end of their levels I believe. Once you hit a certain score or spent enough time in the level you'd get chased by a cop, and the game would flip to the cop's perspective while still having you in control of your skater running away. Fun game.
Exactly what I was thinking! And it was time based, by the way. The cop chases you after 2 minutes elapse and then you must either skate to the exit of the level or keep away long enough for the cop to give up. If I recall, you also get a bonus multiplier for landing tricks while being chased as it's hard to pull off and keep your speed.

This is so much in tune with the original spirit of Driver. Everyone who played the first two games in the PS1 era knows what I'm talking about. Crashes were spectacular and there were a lot of glitches just like the one analyzed here. Also, we could actually make little movies by watching the replays and adjusting the camera angles, using slow motion and everything.

Thank you for saving me 15 minutes

That's what I was thinking before watching the video!
1st person is your view is where your character is.
3rd person your view is pointed at your character but at a distance.
The only dfference i see here is that your view is also a character instead of a disembodied camera. An argument could be made this is still 3rd person.
imagine the pure terror of playing a horror game in 2nd person like this
I would die
2nd person shooter game
Resident evil
"No one lives under the lighthouse" has segments like that
The part in Obscure The Aftermath (2nd game of that franchise) where you have mei guide her sister (You're controlling said sister) in a basement as Mei watches from the security cams ( so it's kinda like The fixed angles of resident evil games on the Playstation 1 and Gamecube. I think that's a good 2nd player segment of a game from the Playstation 2 Era haha
Imagine: A second person stalker game. We’re you’re being stalked by someone but the player sees through the eyes of the stalker.

Jake The Dog No. Its literally the same thing in the video you just watched lol
@@MembersOfHistory the distinction between 2nd and third person is in 3rd the narrator or observation point is not involved in the action or story at all.
Literally a video game of the show you. But you are the girl he is after.
So you would be running away from... yourself? Also would be it galaxy brain to say that second person is when you see yourself through a recording your friend did of you?
This would be like watching yourself play through someone else’s eyes.
This might actually be pretty cool, because your actions would be described from someone else’s perspective, possibly displaying the consequences of your actions more clearly.
Yea that’s rlly cool
But watching through someone else's eyes would be just a first person game would it not? You play a character in a 1st person game you see it through someone else's eyes...edit. I'm pretty high rn so please forgive me if I have missed some obvious detail lol

Basically,
2nd person: third person but a character is a camera
What
Now that you mention it, in Super Mario 64, Lakitu is controlling the camera. So technically, it was a second person game all along.
Supaserrin oh shit
*Character is a camera
@@swiftripper7557 I think if you say that the camera is a character instead, the concept is better understood. You play the game, and a camera is watching you, but if that camera is actually someone you can interact with, THEN it's second person instead of third.
second person: watching a let's play
Duh
Holy fuck
Edwin Contreras but then a person has to play it so it becomes 1st or 3rd view which could be classified as 2nd person but then since it’s a let’s play it becomes 1st or 3rd.

@ another example is when in a certain level in Spider Man Shattered Dimensions when the camera switch’s to the prospective of a sniper trying to snipe Spider Man even though Spider Man is the one you’re actually controlling.
The Final level of the Spongbob Squarepants Movie video game is another example when you’re trying to get King Neptune who is being mind controlled by Plankton to fire his sniper laser thing at frozen Mr Krabs.

Text games and RPGs are the perfect example of second person gameplay. With every decision you take, a feedback describing your actions pops up, “you picked up the axe.” “You ran away.” “You cried out for help, but nobody came.”
I agreed
@Draaygons I agree with you, since there’s always presence of a first or third person POV in video games it’s hard to accurately point out true second person experiences; but In that matter I still think I’m speaking facts when I exemplify second person with text games and RPGs because, as I said before, games of those sorts will use second person to give the player direct participation in the story without having to animate it explicitly.

In fact "The Stanley Parable" is a 2nd person game if you assume that you are playing as Stanley. Although the narrator speaks in 3rd person, he is speaking about the actions "Stanley" will take, should take, or has taken, but since you have assumed the roll of Stanley, the narrator is actually telling *you* (the one playing as Stanley) the actions *you* should take, have taken, or should have taken. The problem with a 2nd person perspective story or game is that you can choose NOT to do what you are told to do, which is the core idea behind "The Stanley Parable".
Stanley Parable was my first thought when I read the title of this video
@@PeterReynolds2042 The classic example of 2nd person is an instruction manual. It tells you what to do, then you do them. In the gaming space, a lot of games tell you what to do and then when competed it tells you the next thing to do.
A second way to think of a 2nd person is that you tell the game what to do. Then it accomplishes that task. For that my first thought was dwarf fortress, but many 4x and sim building games would qualify.
My thoughts exactly, thank you
I also thought of Stanley
