First Person Shooter (FPS)

The perspective of FPS games is used in storytelling to help tell the story, when playing an FPS you feel like that you are the one playing in the game rather then controlling the characters. When you feel like you are in the game you feel a closer connection to the other characters in the game which can help convey the story and help your decision making in the game. A good example of a game that uses this type of storytelling is the Bioshock games, these games stories are a big part of the game and the experience and you feel a connection to the characters in the game.

Third Person Shooter (TPS)

The perspective of the TPS helps convey a more cinematic story. A game that accommodates this style is the Walking Dead Video Game, this is a third person game with a heavy emphasis on the story. Since the third person allows for the game to be more cinematic there are very intense scenes which wouldn't work in the First person. Also this allows you to see more of the environment and helps you find things that would be harder in the first person.
