WRHC Virtual Camera Styles in Game Design Discussion

With this chapter, we’ve introduced a new concept of a third-person view game that is camera-relative. Different camera viewpoints can be found across different styles of games, with some being better suited for a game than others. Keeping this in mind, can you provide an example of a game, existing or made up, that would be a good fit for each of the following camera styles?

1. First-person camera
2. Third-person camera with the camera following or orbiting the player
3. Third-person fixed camera that doesn’t move as the player moves
4. Can you think of any other camera styles?
