Some dev out there needs to make an entire game about stalker- you play the character being stalked but the view is from the perspective of the stalker the entire time
Imagine you dont actually know this until the game ends. Maybe you can see your camera stalker from specific angles in mirrors and windows but you dont know who it is until you reach the end and its revealed that you’ve been looking through the eyes of the horror you’ve been trying to escape
i feel like a truly 2nd person game would involve you witnessing your actions through other people’s eyes and then also seeing how your actions effect them
look for a game called ai dungeon. At first glance it might seem a bit confusing, however if you pay attention to how this game is "narrated" to the player, you will understand the concept closer from a 2 person perspective.
Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy does something alike to that: You play two characters: The first an alleged criminal escaping an investigator by clearing clues and evidence he might leave, the second one... the investigator picking up on what you left or how you botched cleaning up.
I watched a game called No One Lives Under the Lighthouse and there is a chase segment in which the perspective is from the monster chasing you, the character. It works very well with the surreal setting.
So basically you are spectating someone seeing you while you control the person that the person that you are spectating is seeing you That would be weird.
if there is a narrator in a game, that's second person I think and speaking of 2nd person games, I think undertale and deltarune are 2nd person games "you are filled with determination"
@@Makochips No, second person is the other person. 1'st Person. You see through eyes of the character. 2'd Person. Character is seen through someone else eyes. 3'd Person. Is when we see action from detached "flying bird" point of view.
This is one of the videos I look up every other year and it always blows my mind I remember 1st time watching this 5 years ago as a 13 year old kid and now that I am in my 1st year of college I am still amazed about a “2nd person” game. Such a great upload man
I can imagine a whole “second person” game based on this concept of playing as a person from the view of another person, you could be a person being stalked, trying to kill your stalker, all from the view of your stalker
Xuan Boone Well not really. For it to be a third person perspective the “third person” needs to be completely detached from anything that is going on in the game. The third person does not exist in the game’s universe, but watches everything from outside. With a second person stalking game, the camera follows the perspective of an actual person that exists around the protagonist without being the protagonist itself.
I loved this video. Great work Nick. I worked on this game what feels like a lifetime ago and love that people are still finding joy in it. Thanks for putting in so much effort to your explanation!
Lol I use to love doing that as a kid. When me and my brother would play HALO Co-op I would always look at his screen and control myself from that perspective whenever possible
My little sister always says something like "haha I'm cheating cuz I can see your screen" whenever we play split screen together. It's really funny and cute.
@@cooperperkins1847 not sure about that game but I Live Dead by Daylight where you can play either as one of four survivors with their pov as third person or play as a killer with pov of first person.
I remember how in "spider man shattered dimensions" there was a mission in which you had to dodge bullets, and the camera was from the eye of a sniper, but you still controlled the spiderman
This is AMAZING; in this case, 2nd person be used in other scenarios! • a soldier or ally following the main character through warfare (like a binocular spotter or spy/scout) • a floating droid/robot that trails the protagonist player • a fan sitting in the balcony, watching the sports’ stadium fullscreen camera that features the athletes on screen (imagine NFL’s Madden, or NBA 2k for example)
@@drdnd5078 siren was so underrated. And siren blood curse was fucking amazing. I remember doing the haunted house on Playstation home was my favorite cause it was so hard and scary
We non-gamers are very familiar with "second person" games... we've watched our siblings, relatives, friends, and SOs carry out many a mission while sitting next to them on the couch!
basically 1st person. the perspective of yourself 2nd person. the perspective of the other person that you are interacting with 3rd person. a person watching the interaction
@@darrenjimenezreyes2798 but in life we can become the maniac if we chose to as well....? haha i'm just saying life is already crazy and to go around having a game where you have that happen would be real life like paranoia.
1st person: Through the character's eyes 2nd person: Seeing your character through another character's eyes 3rd person: Seeing your character through your eyes
It means you controlling a character through the eyes of another character Ps. Mario 64 has a confusing story behind the perspective, which makes it seem like it falls into this category, but please note there’s more to it than just the one sentence you see above. Mario 64 is third person. First and foremost, Lakitu is supposedly a cameraman, what would mean you’re looking through the camera, not Lakitu’s eyes. Besides that, it’s all about the perspective. The perspective you see while playing the game is third person, with or without Lakitu... Pps. English is my second language, so I would be really proud of myself if everything said above is correct and coherent. I have an (Dutch) essay coming up, so this is a good practice... i think.
He made finding a game glitch sound like he found alternate realities and upset the universe and now spends his days dodging the universe's attacks on him as an attempt to quiet him but he's become too powerful
Honestly that's exactly how I feel when I find glitches in games, specially clipping through walls and floor. GTA San Andreas was probably the best game ever to find glitches...
@@MembersOfHistory the distinction between 2nd and third person is in 3rd the narrator or observation point is not involved in the action or story at all.
So you would be running away from... yourself? Also would be it galaxy brain to say that second person is when you see yourself through a recording your friend did of you?
Lol. I recently played around with the level and got the car to turn over without crashing the mission. It just kinda sat there. Would recommend giving it a try, it's not a very long game, though I'm not sure if I share the idea that it's a really great game, it's unique.
@@whiterabbit75 that's essentially literally what happens when you drive the tanner's driving at the car Orlen's driving. The game doesn't know what to do so crazy shit happens. Somehow it doesn't crash the game.
Edwin Contreras but then a person has to play it so it becomes 1st or 3rd view which could be classified as 2nd person but then since it’s a let’s play it becomes 1st or 3rd.
@@masonsaccount Yes! That would be really creepily weird, I'm gonna have nightmares now of me glitching through my bedroom ceiling to the 32 bit integer limit and my brain will crash... @(
Like, you see yourself but at the same time you have to find a way of hiding from the character whose perspective you are watching. Where can I play something like this???
There is a game that goes very close this idea, siren blood curse. In it you have an ability that lets you “sight jack”, aka you can see the enemies perspective. Yet you still control your character with third person camera
Because when things are picked a part and appreciated on the level Nick is doing it makes everyone have a high level of love for it even if they've never played it
I don't know if you've played the driver games, but it'd be a seriously odd direction for the series. It's heavily inspired by american car films and as such is mostly based in America (though the studio who develop the series is British). That said it would be an interesting turn but I don't see it happening. Also i sadly doubt we'll see a new driver game any time soon :(
Interesting idea and for game mechanic i suggest: 1. Not being able to control the people movement 2. Add some kind of mental illness element like you take over someone that is suffering hallucinations
The part in Obscure The Aftermath (2nd game of that franchise) where you have mei guide her sister (You're controlling said sister) in a basement as Mei watches from the security cams ( so it's kinda like The fixed angles of resident evil games on the Playstation 1 and Gamecube. I think that's a good 2nd player segment of a game from the Playstation 2 Era haha
So when you are chasing yourself you are essentially in all 3 perspectives 1st (you are looking out of the eyes driving the black car) 2nd (you and control yourself driving the orange car) 3rd (you are looking at yourself from behind, just like if you were in 3rd person in a racing game like forza)
This is so much in tune with the original spirit of Driver. Everyone who played the first two games in the PS1 era knows what I'm talking about. Crashes were spectacular and there were a lot of glitches just like the one analyzed here. Also, we could actually make little movies by watching the replays and adjusting the camera angles, using slow motion and everything.
I didn't, this video couldve been 5 minutes long instead it was Here's what second person would be Then ten minute sof describing a game level till you meet the standard 15 - 17 minute preferred youtube algorithm video length. These kind of videos can get in the sea quite frankly.
This would be like watching yourself play through someone else’s eyes. This might actually be pretty cool, because your actions would be described from someone else’s perspective, possibly displaying the consequences of your actions more clearly.
But watching through someone else's eyes would be just a first person game would it not? You play a character in a 1st person game you see it through someone else's eyes...edit. I'm pretty high rn so please forgive me if I have missed some obvious detail lol
Imagine setting up a LAN shooter game. There's no cover in the map, and every weapon has a fully visible laser sight with a beam and everything so you can tell exactly where they're shooting. You and the other player are facing eachother in person, but you've swapped the orientation of the monitors. You're looking at his computer, he's looking at yours. Maybe some mod to switch the HUDs for quality of life. Fucking trippy as balls dude. Forget coordination, you'd have to make every part of your play about predicting what the other guy dopes, which you can do, cause you're in his perspective. Imagine doing to your mirror neurons and empathic pathways what normal shooters do for your hand-eye, and strategy does for your planning?
@@curvingfyre6810 there's a game slightly similar to what you are talking about called screencheat. It's a multiplayer shooter where all the players are invisible but there is a split screen and you see everyone's screens. So the only way to know where you opponents are is to look at their screen.
Except the abundance of Reader-Insert stories on Wattpad, perspective-wise, are incorrect. A lot of the time, I see authors using past tense verbs in their second-person reader-inserts, despite past tense mainly being used in third-person.
One example of a computer game in the second person perspective is the text-based adventure game, Zork. Grammatically, the first-person perspective begins with: "I am," whereas the second-person perspective begins with: "You are." as in, and I quote: "You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here."
I thought a second person video game was like the og resident evil games, being observed by someone else and having that played back to you like being watched by a camera
@@swiftripper7557 I think if you say that the camera is a character instead, the concept is better understood. You play the game, and a camera is watching you, but if that camera is actually someone you can interact with, THEN it's second person instead of third.
In fact "The Stanley Parable" is a 2nd person game if you assume that you are playing as Stanley. Although the narrator speaks in 3rd person, he is speaking about the actions "Stanley" will take, should take, or has taken, but since you have assumed the roll of Stanley, the narrator is actually telling *you* (the one playing as Stanley) the actions *you* should take, have taken, or should have taken. The problem with a 2nd person perspective story or game is that you can choose NOT to do what you are told to do, which is the core idea behind "The Stanley Parable".
@@PeterReynolds2042 The classic example of 2nd person is an instruction manual. It tells you what to do, then you do them. In the gaming space, a lot of games tell you what to do and then when competed it tells you the next thing to do. A second way to think of a 2nd person is that you tell the game what to do. Then it accomplishes that task. For that my first thought was dwarf fortress, but many 4x and sim building games would qualify.
1st person: *_I_* am talking. FPS, you are the character. 2nd person: *_You_* listen. DND, the dungeon master to you. 3rd person: *_They_* converse. A slanted view of the world, such as League of Legends, or Minecraft. Dungeons.
@ another example is when in a certain level in Spider Man Shattered Dimensions when the camera switch’s to the prospective of a sniper trying to snipe Spider Man even though Spider Man is the one you’re actually controlling.
The Final level of the Spongbob Squarepants Movie video game is another example when you’re trying to get King Neptune who is being mind controlled by Plankton to fire his sniper laser thing at frozen Mr Krabs.
7th person: You are controlling a cringe finnish youtuber which has over 200 000 subs (Why are you looking me like that? I'm not controlling Paqpa or am i?)
*Nick sitting on the edge of his bed at 3 am on a Tuesday* "I wonder how many times I can mention Driver: San Francisco in an unrelated video before its too much"
Text games and RPGs are the perfect example of second person gameplay. With every decision you take, a feedback describing your actions pops up, “you picked up the axe.” “You ran away.” “You cried out for help, but nobody came.”
@Draaygons I agree with you, since there’s always presence of a first or third person POV in video games it’s hard to accurately point out true second person experiences; but In that matter I still think I’m speaking facts when I exemplify second person with text games and RPGs because, as I said before, games of those sorts will use second person to give the player direct participation in the story without having to animate it explicitly.

4th person: your character reads a newspaper about the events of the game
5th person: your character’s cousin tells you his roommate told him about reading the news paper about the events of the game
Rockstar has already done that
4th person would be like Super Smash. "Us" everybody shares the same screen.
Funnily enough, in this game the character is in a coma and the events of the game are actually what he's hearing on the news subconsiously
lol that doesnt work like that
So 2nd person is basically:
You control Person 1, but your view is from the perspective of Person 2, who is watching Person 1.
correct!
I think Trevor saves the Universe is the perfect example
So like Moss vr
It’s basically a third person game or first person I guess where the player you control is you
So basically you are spectating someone seeing you while you control the person that the person that you are spectating is seeing
you

thats third person isnt it?
Jake The Dog No. Its literally the same thing in the video you just watched lol
@@MembersOfHistory the distinction between 2nd and third person is in 3rd the narrator or observation point is not involved in the action or story at all.
Literally a video game of the show you. But you are the girl he is after.
So you would be running away from... yourself? Also would be it galaxy brain to say that second person is when you see yourself through a recording your friend did of you?
2nd person is when the videogame plays you
"I turned around and drove the car in the second person directly at myself"
*Breaking the universe, I guess*
With the most tragic music and voice.
There were no surviving cars
Lol. I recently played around with the level and got the car to turn over without crashing the mission. It just kinda sat there. Would recommend giving it a try, it's not a very long game, though I'm not sure if I share the idea that it's a really great game, it's unique.

@@hexyko4850 No it probably wouldn't.
There is a game that goes very close this idea, siren blood curse. In it you have an ability that lets you “sight jack”, aka you can see the enemies perspective. Yet you still control your character with third person camera

I don't want to know what will happen to this channel if Ubisoft makes Driver: Tokyo
Likely a video series.
I don't know if you've played the driver games, but it'd be a seriously odd direction for the series. It's heavily inspired by american car films and as such is mostly based in America (though the studio who develop the series is British).
That said it would be an interesting turn but I don't see it happening. Also i sadly doubt we'll see a new driver game any time soon :(
Well whatever happens, I can guarantee you that it will happen in Japan.
I needed to get this game .1 microseconds early. So I boarded a flight to Japan.
"... so I boarded a plane to San Francisco"
I would love a game with a blind main character who have the ability to enter other people's eyes to see himself and do things he had to do
That sounds like a great gimmick.
I think siren has that feature
Interesting idea and for game mechanic i suggest:
1. Not being able to control the people movement
2. Add some kind of mental illness element like you take over someone that is suffering hallucinations
That would be amazing
You are on to something
imagine the pure terror of playing a horror game in 2nd person like this
I would die
2nd person shooter game
Resident evil
"No one lives under the lighthouse" has segments like that
The part in Obscure The Aftermath (2nd game of that franchise) where you have mei guide her sister (You're controlling said sister) in a basement as Mei watches from the security cams ( so it's kinda like The fixed angles of resident evil games on the Playstation 1 and Gamecube. I think that's a good 2nd player segment of a game from the Playstation 2 Era haha
So when you are chasing yourself you are essentially in all 3 perspectives 1st (you are looking out of the eyes driving the black car) 2nd (you and control yourself driving the orange car) 3rd (you are looking at yourself from behind, just like if you were in 3rd person in a racing game like forza)
2nd person is basically a stalker's point of view
Wouldn't this put an isometric camera perspective as 2nd person? Wasn't there a game that had you moving through security cameras' point of view?
@@EricJCaraballoso no because the camera is not an actor reacting to you.

This is so much in tune with the original spirit of Driver. Everyone who played the first two games in the PS1 era knows what I'm talking about. Crashes were spectacular and there were a lot of glitches just like the one analyzed here. Also, we could actually make little movies by watching the replays and adjusting the camera angles, using slow motion and everything.
Every English teacher ever
I didn't, this video couldve been 5 minutes long instead it was
Here's what second person would be
Then ten minute sof describing a game level till you meet the standard 15 - 17 minute preferred youtube algorithm video length. These kind of videos can get in the sea quite frankly.
This would be like watching yourself play through someone else’s eyes.
This might actually be pretty cool, because your actions would be described from someone else’s perspective, possibly displaying the consequences of your actions more clearly.
Yea that’s rlly cool
But watching through someone else's eyes would be just a first person game would it not? You play a character in a 1st person game you see it through someone else's eyes...edit. I'm pretty high rn so please forgive me if I have missed some obvious detail lol

That makes sense but kinda breaks the 4th wall
Hi viewer
oh fu
Shit, man. that's awesome.
I'd say second person is when you play split screen and you look at the other player's vision of your character lol.
Exactly
Imagine setting up a LAN shooter game. There's no cover in the map, and every weapon has a fully visible laser sight with a beam and everything so you can tell exactly where they're shooting. You and the other player are facing eachother in person, but you've swapped the orientation of the monitors. You're looking at his computer, he's looking at yours. Maybe some mod to switch the HUDs for quality of life. Fucking trippy as balls dude. Forget coordination, you'd have to make every part of your play about predicting what the other guy dopes, which you can do, cause you're in his perspective. Imagine doing to your mirror neurons and empathic pathways what normal shooters do for your hand-eye, and strategy does for your planning?
so u mean my brother is actually smart?
Which would mean I spent most of my childhood playing 2nd person games with my cousin :o
@@curvingfyre6810 there's a game slightly similar to what you are talking about called screencheat.
It's a multiplayer shooter where all the players are invisible but there is a split screen and you see everyone's screens.
So the only way to know where you opponents are is to look at their screen.

wattpad authors: hold my beer
😂😂😂
*hold my apple juice
There's a reason they "publish" in WattPad. Hahahaha
Cringepad
Except the abundance of Reader-Insert stories on Wattpad, perspective-wise, are incorrect. A lot of the time, I see authors using past tense verbs in their second-person reader-inserts, despite past tense mainly being used in third-person.
One example of a computer game in the second person perspective is the text-based adventure game, Zork.
Grammatically, the first-person perspective begins with: "I am," whereas the second-person perspective begins with: "You are."
as in, and I quote: "You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here."

I thought a second person video game was like the og resident evil games, being observed by someone else and having that played back to you like being watched by a camera
That was the most poetic description of a glitch I've ever seen. You should write a book
Which glitch,
@@Angelucetax watch the video and your question will be answered
@@ccristi08 I don't see any glitch. Just a whole philosophical experience.
I was about to say the same thing!
You need to watch car boys
Basically,
2nd person: third person but a character is a camera
What
Now that you mention it, in Super Mario 64, Lakitu is controlling the camera. So technically, it was a second person game all along.
Supaserrin oh shit
*Character is a camera
@@swiftripper7557 I think if you say that the camera is a character instead, the concept is better understood. You play the game, and a camera is watching you, but if that camera is actually someone you can interact with, THEN it's second person instead of third.
In fact "The Stanley Parable" is a 2nd person game if you assume that you are playing as Stanley. Although the narrator speaks in 3rd person, he is speaking about the actions "Stanley" will take, should take, or has taken, but since you have assumed the roll of Stanley, the narrator is actually telling *you* (the one playing as Stanley) the actions *you* should take, have taken, or should have taken. The problem with a 2nd person perspective story or game is that you can choose NOT to do what you are told to do, which is the core idea behind "The Stanley Parable".
Stanley Parable was my first thought when I read the title of this video
@@PeterReynolds2042 The classic example of 2nd person is an instruction manual. It tells you what to do, then you do them. In the gaming space, a lot of games tell you what to do and then when competed it tells you the next thing to do.
A second way to think of a 2nd person is that you tell the game what to do. Then it accomplishes that task. For that my first thought was dwarf fortress, but many 4x and sim building games would qualify.
My thoughts exactly, thank you
I also thought of Stanley
ULTRA DELUXE... OR 2?
1st person: *_I_* am talking. FPS, you are the character.
2nd person: *_You_* listen. DND, the dungeon master to you.
3rd person: *_They_* converse. A slanted view of the world, such as League of Legends, or Minecraft. Dungeons.
Bro, u turned this game into a creepypasta.
Lmao
you are kinda right
@ another example is when in a certain level in Spider Man Shattered Dimensions when the camera switch’s to the prospective of a sniper trying to snipe Spider Man even though Spider Man is the one you’re actually controlling.
The Final level of the Spongbob Squarepants Movie video game is another example when you’re trying to get King Neptune who is being mind controlled by Plankton to fire his sniper laser thing at frozen Mr Krabs.

Text games and RPGs are the perfect example of second person gameplay. With every decision you take, a feedback describing your actions pops up, “you picked up the axe.” “You ran away.” “You cried out for help, but nobody came.”
I agreed
@Draaygons I agree with you, since there’s always presence of a first or third person POV in video games it’s hard to accurately point out true second person experiences; but In that matter I still think I’m speaking facts when I exemplify second person with text games and RPGs because, as I said before, games of those sorts will use second person to give the player direct participation in the story without having to animate it explicitly.
