Abstract
The first-person shooter (FPS) genre has its origins in the cinematicvisual technique known as the first-person subjective cameraangle (Galloway 2006, 40). The first-person view is framed bymerging camera lens with the character's eye to create a "rectilinearplane of Albertian perspective" (O'Riley 1998, 18). The visualimpression of this" Renaissance pictorial tactic" (Shinkle 2005, 24)produces a subjective view that is remediated through the technologiesof photography, cinema, and FPS games as an entirely modernsense of experiencing the world (O'Riley 1998).
