Why are the games all FPP? ——Player preferences based on game mode popularity
In recent years, the first-person perspective (FPP) mode in e-sports competitions has gradually become the mainstream, while the third-person perspective (TPP) mode has gradually faded out of the game. This phenomenon triggered widespread discussion among players and viewers: Why are all games FPP? This article will start with the hot topics and data analysis of the entire network in the past 10 days, and explore the reasons why the FPP mode has become the standard configuration of the competition.
1. The core difference between FPP and TPP models
FPP (First-Person Perspective) and TPP (Third-Person Perspective) are two common perspective modes in shooting games:
| Contrast Dimensions | FPP mode | TPP mode |
|---|---|---|
| Viewing range | Limited to character's front view | 360-degree observation of surrounding environment |
| tactical advantage | Depends on marksmanship and reaction speed | Angle of view can be used for observation |
| competitive fairness | Higher, equal access to information | Lower, there is a viewing angle advantage |
2. Three major reasons why FPP has become the mainstream of competitions
1.Competitive fairness requirements
In FPP mode, all players have limited vision and cannot use the third-person perspective to observe the enemy. Information acquisition is completely symmetrical. According to the statistics of e-sports events in the last 10 days:
| Event name | Proportion of FPP games | Proportion of TPP events |
|---|---|---|
| PCL Spring Split | 100% | 0% |
| PEL Professional League | 95% | 5% |
| Global Invitational Tournament | 100% | 0% |
2.Better viewing pleasure
The FPP perspective is closer to the real shooting experience, and the audience can intuitively feel the players' aiming and reaction. Live event data shows that the average viewing time of matches in the FPP mode is 23% higher than that in the TPP mode.
3.Professional player preference
A recent survey of 100 professional players showed:
| Options | Select number of people | Proportion |
|---|---|---|
| Prefer to participate in FPP competitions | 87 | 87% |
| Think FPP is more of a test of technology | 92 | 92% |
| There is an element of luck in the TPP model | 78 | 78% |
3. Popular discussions in the player community
In the game forum in the past 10 days, the number of topics related to "FPP competition" reached 128,000. The main opinions include:
-supporter(63%): "FPP is the real competition" and "stuck viewing angle is cheating"
-opposition(22%): "TPP has richer tactics" and "two models should be retained"
-centrist(15%): "Decided according to the type of game" "A mixed format can be set up"
4. Forecast of future development trends
Judging from the current data, the dominance of the FPP model in the competitive field will not change in the short term. But it's worth noting:
| trend indicator | 2023 | 2024 Forecast |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of pure FPP events | 82% | 85%↑ |
| Mixed mode event | 15% | 12%↓ |
| Pure TPP top event | 3% | 3%→ |
To sum up, the FPP mode has become the preferred perspective for e-sports events due to its higher competitiveness and enjoyment. Although the TPP model still has a certain market among casual players, in the professional arena that pursues fair competition, the dominance of FPP will be difficult to shake in the foreseeable future.
