Titles available for the PlayStation 3 console that present the player’s character from an over-the-shoulder or distant perspective, allowing for a wider view of the game world and character actions, constitute a significant portion of the system’s library. Examples include action-adventure titles, shooters, and role-playing games that utilize this viewpoint.
The popularity of this particular camera angle stems from its ability to provide a balance between immersive gameplay and enhanced situational awareness. This perspective allows for greater appreciation of character design and animation while also offering a broader field of view, proving advantageous in combat and exploration. The history of console gaming demonstrates a continuous evolution of camera perspectives, with this view becoming a standard for many genres.
