WHY CANT I STOP LAUGHING
I DON"T KNOW YOU!!!
Guys we have discovered the rare substance on the internet that real people like to call "the funny."
Ayy 666
Why did I laugh
2nd person is when you’re watching your big brother finish the hard level for you
You clearly hold the crown here
@@NagatoOPRESSORTHUGLIFE Brah you have no room to talk.....
in the case im the big brother
yes!!
👌
The 2nd perspective in games too is also applied on "No one lives under the lighthouse" when during a chase scene your perspective is the monster's and you have to run away, but the trick being is that the farther you are the harder it is to see where you're going, forcing you to stay close to the monster as to not get lost
I just commented this, sorry for accidentally stealing🤷♂️
This is exactly what I was thinking of
you forgot the end quotation mark.
@@TheLogg LOL you're right
Think this is also in Psychonauts 1 when you're fleeing the lake monster.
It's incredible how you turned a glitch into an existential horror ...
shit sound scary
When you run from yourself as fast as you can, you will inevitably be pulled back to yourself with the absolute crushing force.
@@CapnBludit’s 3 in the morning and this sounds so profound rn 😂
@@thedeependrap2135 I know, that's what I was trying to make it sound like, actually. But jokingly, yk.
How?
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
That would be weird.
A 2nd person game could also be about indirect control of the main character. Imagine a main character that narrates and makes their own decisions, but you control the environment that affects their choices. That would be very similar to a story told from a “you” perspective. The Driver level is similar because “you” are the chasing driver who isn’t directly controlled.
Seems like you could basically make the illusion of 2nd person by storytelling and writing… such an interesting concept.
There's games where you give commands through a headset. as well
In a way, the sims and city builders are 2nd person stories told from the perspective of the characters, but controlled indirectly through gameplay.
There arent many games where one controls only a side character
That is what 3rd person is.
Very interesting video. Wasn't expecting the "second-person" perspective to translate in such a strange and unique way. Props to whoever came up with the idea for that mission.
It doesn't, this is still 3rd person.
@@itstimeforleeexplain
except its not, youre uneducated@@itstimeforlee
Maybe, but the thing different here is that you are seeing it from a different NPC. Not just a camera above your head. Like someone mentioned, in a game where a monster chases you, the 2nd person was that you had the perspective of the monster, but you were controlling yourself. You are seeing *You* being chased by this monster, forcing you to stay kinda close so you see where you are going.@@itstimeforlee
Don’t you hate it when you meet yourself in second person and then accidentally destroy reality?
Yeah it's so annoying
Truly an "oops" moment
Ugh happens all the time

@@KINGJERMARCUS Ok
That’s what it looked like at the 13:25 mark. Honestly should’ve just ended it there.
I like how this video discussed the topic and used literary narrative as the premise. But by that definition, everything we've been calling 3rd person all along is actually 2nd person. The example with the car chase is the rare instance of true 3rd person. In most games, the player watches the character directly and the controller input narrates to your character thing like "You go forward. You turn left. Now you strike". In Driver: San Francisco's chase scene, the inputs narrate "He turns, then he accelerates" while the second person is YOU driving to pursue HIM. The player, the viewer and the character make 3 people.
Thank you for saying it
Yes
Second person perspective is the moment of existential dread you experience when you're playing animal crossing and you catch a glimpse of your own tired reflection on your switch screen when it fades to black at 5am.
In fact, in Happy Home Designer (3ds/2ds), when you put the room camera down and control yourself, you're doing so from 2nd pov. Just realized this
first person: Me
third person: He
second person: *DRIVER SAN FRANCISCO*
I went second person one time
Yes that game is so good
@@riddlemethisriddlemethat2947 I go second person whenever I slip on ice in winter.
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.
I've never heard anyone make a glitch sound so dramatic
he seems like to solve a damn mystery
No shit.
Seriously. It made me stop watching.
@@Razielbergamini lmao, made me keep watching
@@coreyc9432 same. I was all in
Baldurs gate 3 has a lot of 2nd person interactions due to the Game master element, where your character, ie. you in the game, are being told what your experience is, like "As you are walking into the room, you feel a strange, but yet familiar scent. It takes you back to when you were a kid, and you immediate recognize the smell".
There is a boss battle in TloZ : Phantom Hourglass that uses the double screen of the DS to show you the point of view of the boss.
Since the boss is invisible, you have to mostly rely on this to avoid its attacks and hit it. It was probably one of the more memorable moments of this game for me.
Especially since this mechanic comes back (but less intensely) for the final boss.
That boss fucked me up as a kid, but i remember it to this day
I wouldn't say less intensely as it was longer than the big bug granted the final boss had more health than the bug but still lol
Actually i would have loved if you could have had the phantoms on the top screen like their POV hunting Link as link is going through. To not be too broken lets say when he gets all 3 pure metals so the final trip through that dungeon
The player's point-of-view (Link) is still third-person. The glimpse into the boss from first-person perspective doesn't change that.
@@lapis591 Not really, because during the fight you almost exclusively use the top screen with the bosses' view.
You indeed still have the 3rd person view on the touch screen to still control Link (with touch movements), but in order to dodge the bosses attacks and to shoot him in the eyes, you *have* to use the "2nd person" for most of the boss.
Both Jak 2 and Ratchet and Clank 3 have a 2nd person level and 2nd person Boss fight (partly)
respectively

This happened to me and a friend about 14yrs ago when we were playing PGR2 and it glitched. We set up a 2p race on the ring, split screen, and when the race began my friend's screen was normal but on my screen the camera didn't follow the car so I just saw my car disappear into the distance. My friend brought his car back and we took turns trying to drive a whole lap by following my car with his, using his view to see what we were doing. It was so cool we didn't want to turn it off
second person: watching a let's play
Duh
Holy fuck
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.
Second person- watching your own let's play

Woah confusion reborn
@@ImAfemaleNoob2 so ummm a mirror?
26th person: we don’t fucking know anymore
0th person: seeing through your own eyes
I feel like this is probably still an abnormal form of 3rd person, since you're not actually controlling Ordell's car at the time, his POV has just become an AI that's maneuvering the camera angle. The closest I can think of for 2nd person is some parts in 'Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice', where your character Senua directly looks at and addresses you, the player, as if you were another character, but that doesn't really count either, because it's during cutscenes, not gameplay.
There is 2nd person narration, that's different from gameplay. I think this is the closest approximation to 2nd person gameplay. You aren't viewing the game from the perspective of the protagonist, but you still need that protagonist to succeed.
Either that or something like MGS1's moment with Psycho Mantis and getting the frequency to call Meryl. The player must take action outside of the game to succeed, not any of the characters. So basically a 2nd person game might be an ARG.
I remember seeing a review of a horror game, called something like “under the lighthouse” and I remember how the chase sequences are surprising because it starts by abruptly putting you into the POV of the monster chasing you while you try to run away
this has the same energy as when you're playing mariokart with someone and they're behind you and you watch yourself on their half of the screen
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
That’s possible in any split screen game
😂😂😂
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.
Wow I used to do this all the time with COD too
2nd person: playing as your character through the eyes of the enemy
FF5615 perfect... all he had to say
Basically, Siren the game?
Thank you for saving me 15 minutes

That's what I was thinking before watching the video!
Second person would simply be a nonstop selfie.
This is also done during the Psycho Mantis fight in the first Metal Gear Solid for PS1. If you push the triangle button to go into first person view during the fight, you can look through Meryl's (who is possessed by Mantis) eyes. It's almost like breaking the 4th wall, but.........within the game? (breaking the 2nd wall?? [5th wall?!]) Kojima, of course, is a legendary madman who _LOVES_ doing things like this.

My first thought when I heard "second person video game" was those old text-parser games from the olden days. "You walk into a dark room but there's a locked door and no way to get past, what do you do?" You type in "break down door" "Your hands and feet hurt but the door won't budge" You type in "look for key" "You can't see, it's too dark" You type in "take unlit torch from wall" and type in "light torch" "You see a key on the table" You type in "pick up key" and then it says "You found a key, what do you do?" you type "unlock door" it says "You unlock the door, you enter the next room, and see a cave troll, what do you do?" You type "hit troll with axe" over and over again "You have defeated the troll, he drops the artifact you were looking for" and so on.
Try MS paint adventures
2nd person camera is the crash bandicoot camera, where you're running from the bolder.
The “you’re chasing yourself” perspective is incredibly unique and one that strangely terrifies me.

I don't remember what it's called, but there is a horror game in which you have the ability to see out of the monster's eyes.
@@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.
@@cooperperkins1847 the game name was 'eyes' i guess
@@YavuzTurgut the name of the game is Forbidden Siren,
its director, keichiro toyama, was the creator of the first silent hill.
Its a masterpiece.
@@antonchigurr2722 I will check out then, thanks! :)
Before the video started, I was going to take a guess that goes roughly like this.
If 1st person is from your perspective, and 3rd is like someone looking at you from behind, then 2nd should be something like "from the enemy's eyes".
If we consider the perspective as a conflict, you are the first person in the conflict, the second is the antagonist, and third is an observer not actually related to the conflict, but observing the events.
I have wondered this and am glad you showed an example, thank you.
Imagine GTA V but you're the civilian and you have to hide from a maniac who goes around the city
That will be a first person game where the civilian is the main character. So, it's not second person.
Ok, you watch everything through the eyes of a civillian but you still control the maniac
sodas so basically real life?
@@DanielRiossuper1rios yeah but we are controlling the maniac
@@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.

@Marcin Zalewski 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.

But then I watched this and was taken to a deeper level
🤙 Determinism is Freedom 🤙 Детерминизм это Свобода 🤙
Welp, this is what the whole channel is about
As someone else mentioned when someone brought up horror games, this concept exists in the Forbidden Siren series. A blind character in the first game uses you as their navigator, but it's mainly just by having you turn to look at them so they can gauge where they are from your perspective. The *second* game, however, allows you to play as a blind character named "Shu" who sees through his seeing-eye dog.
The whole game revolves around this sight mechanic overall, but with Shu it's how *you* navigate. You see entirely from the dog's perspective as it follows quietly behind Shu and it's very interesting.
This might be hard to make work for a whole game, but I think it could. There are lots of scenarios where it could be feasible. Like a cameraman following a reporter around, or a drone buzzing around a person's head or scooting along the ground like a roomba or something and trying to keep up.
The potential is there. Just takes someone brave enough to try it.
"First person" and "third person" are simply about your _point of view_ (as a player). Being in a car "chasing yourself" is really just a mix of first and third person, because you're still effectively controlling everything.
A "2nd person game" would simply be a game where you always see things from the point of view of an _independent_ (i.e., AI-driven, or script-driven) NPC that your character might be _interacting_ with (basically, it looks like a first-person POV, but instead of the camera being the player character's eyes, it's some NPC's eyes, aimed at the PC, while you're controlling _only_ the PC - though I guess that part goes without saying, because whichever character you're controlling is effectively the "player character" at that point, even if it wasn't at a different stage of the game).
Yeah. Second person would be like seeing yourself in a police body cam, roughly. You'd be seeing yourself from the perspective of the person you're interacting with. If it were a combat game, you'd see yourself from the eyes of the enemies.
Yeah was gonna say, while the car scene is cool and all, that's definitely 3rd person if you count yourself as the running car and 1st person as the tailing car. It's both mixed, not 2nd person.

Such a fascinating video and concept! I like to think the Devs knew what they were doing when they made the part where you can turn around and have a unique experience, kind of like an Easter Egg. I would compare it to the movie version of Ready Player One with the race scene but that movie came out literally years after this game so i dont think there is a comparison and unrelated the book is better. Anyway, great video, new here! might stick around :)
2nd person is: "I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude"

All video games are second person. Youre controlling your character from the perspective of your own eyes.
@@noface998 "I don't read the script, the script reads me"
So second person is whenever I'm with a friend and try to play while looking at the other side of the split screen.

Microprose Grand Prix had this in 1992 where you could view 'you' and control 'you' from the chasing car.
Before I finish the video, im going to say 2nd person would be point and click style games like Sierra or early lucasarts adventure games, or even the sims and RTS. The idea is you are essentially talking to the characters telling them what to do.
I remember the first time I encountered 2nd person was in the Mayday Parker Spider-Girl comics. The Narrator was talking to spider girl. At first I thought it was an inner monologue but it would refer to her in situations where she wasnt present nor had knowledge of its events.
Its definitely strange but curiously entertaining. I’ll edit this when I finish the vid.

6th person: you heard about a game you buy it and play and the game is from a prespective of behind you
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 just remembered screencheat exists!

the mission in driver san francisco reminds me of the chase sequences in the horror game “no one lives under the lighthouse.
you have to run away from the monster, but the monster is where the camera is. you need to stay near the monster so you can see, but not close enough to die. i just ran to the house to deload it.
I know this video is old now, but I just found out that GTA San Andreas did exactly the same thing Driver San Francisco did, except YEARS ago, and used it as a simple forgetful mechanic (which is why nobody ever talks about it or straight didn't even know, like myself). Whenever you're on a police chase on the roads, if you activate the cinematic camera, sometimes the game will put the camera behind one of the cop's cars and it will make it seem like you're controlling the police, but in reality, just like in Driver SF, you're controlling CJ the entire time, only now, you're looking at YOU from a second person perspective! This have been such a huge mind blow for me that I HAD to come back to this video just to post this.
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.
I wonder if the older resident evil games would make sense for 2nd person
@@grimreaper894 I agree, good point 👉

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.
I love this game I have fond memories of my dad showing me driverSanFrancisco for the first time and it is probably my favourite game I am glad to see someone else who feels the same also just cause 3 for some reason reminds me of it
It would be the view of the co-op partner or spectator mode, but still showing what you are doing
Holy shit why does driver San Francisco seem like the most genius game ever wtf
Ikr wtf?????
It’s not just genius, it’s also insanely fun.
Because it is
You find yourself in a room
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

He's trying to say that Japanese people look alike so it's like looking at yourself there.
I've seen this in a horror game as well, where you take care of a light tower, in first person tho, after some type you start getting chased by a monster, but right after he starts chasing you the camera switches to his eyes, the thing is yours not controlling the monster, you are stilll controlling yourself while seeing the monster's view of following you
There's an old PS2 game Robot Alchemic Drive (i think that's the title) where you control giant robots a bit like you might an RC car. Whenever you take control of your robot your camera perspective is of the human controlling it even if you're view is obscured. If the building you're on top of to see the action is destroyed you're player character typically survives but you view drops to street level. When controlling the robots the game is pretty effectively 2nd person but considering how most missions play out it's usually just an awkward third person camera. Also i don't particularly recommend the game, it has an idea here or there but i feel the novelty wore out for me before finishing a playthrough, though versus mode with my brother was goofy fun.
This weirdly sounds like a creepypasta
Indeed it does!
That's maybe why I jumped at mark 10:42 xD
God dammit, I'm used to those bugs, but some of them just gets me off guard
definitely gave me spooks for some reason lol
Lol yup
this game is a creepypasta
Maybe because we weren’t supposed to know about this?

original battletoads on nes did this with the fight that takes place from the perspective of the boss in the mech suit, u control ur character(s) that it can see dodging rocks and what not.
I remember watching this same video a while ago, and while rewatching this game, that san francisco mission, reminds me of a game that I used to play alot while I was longer that adopted the same perspective.. I forgot the name, but I think there are many games nowadays that implement this mechanic where you move from a 2nd person perspective. Idk if this san francisco game pioneered it, but either way its still very cool. And you pay attention to some newer and even some other older games you will see this mechanic actually portrayed alot more than you realize.

He made something complex that isn't complex. Same with your sentence.
At around the 10 minute mark i couldn't remember the reason I clicked this video and had to reread the title 🤣
I had nightmares because dog this video

On the Ps2 there is a game called RAD: Robot Alchemical Drive. This game is partially 2nd person. Where you play as a dude in a city who has a mecha who fights other mecha.
The gimmick is as you run around as the character, when you switch to controlling your mech via remote control, the viewpoint is still on your character as you control the mech (in 2md person). Would be interesting if you checked it out.
I know of another example of 2nd person in a game. I only had a demo for the game, but Thrasher: Skate & Destroy would let you summon cops to get you / end the demo. The perspective would come from the cop chasing you, much like your Driver example.
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!
Dude my brother would play racing games and we would pretend i was in the backseat lol

So 2nd person irl is just like watching your dad drive while you are in the back seat?
2nd person game is a game when you don't control a character, but give them commands, for example you are stuck in a security office, with full access to doors, security cameras and such, the rest of the facility is full of monsters or zombies, and you spot a survivor that you need to lead to safety through opening/closing doors, giving commands through speakers, etc.
Basically 2nd person is when you're viewing your own character from another characters persepctive.
A sencond person shooter would be like this: you are the person being shot
@@wewewe9373 You think you're shooting someone in a game but in reality you're killing yourself.
@@Nullicity so you can have $e.x with yourself, nice.
@@Nullicity Suicide is fun
@@supercalifragilisticexpial2270 wait no
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.
@@assasing123sleep9 who says it has to be an actor?
@@EricJCaraballoso I recall the game Republique having this mechanism
@@EricJCaraballoso the first resident evil, and dino crisis games use that point of view
The game R.A.D also does this. You control a giant robot but are playing from the perspective of a person on the street.
Not sure if this really counts, but have you played Tearaway Unfolded? It's hard to say if this is a "second person" situation or just a 4th wall elimination, but while the game has a character you control in third person, there is another character/entity known as the "You" which is the player controlling that character from up above, which leads to some existential clashes.
