Switching the traditionally third-person camera to a first-person perspective is also a favorite pastime for modders, who have given players a chance to see the Milky Way through the eyes of Mass Effect’s Commander Shepard or roam the lands of Hyrule as Link from The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. Mods can be great fun for curious players, either restoring cut game content or generating a laugh or two by replacing a fearsome boss with Shrek or Thomas The Tank Engine.
The result proves why most games keep the camera either on the Blue Blur’s side or behind his shoulders. One Sonic The Hedgehog fan has modded 2010’s Sonic Generations to be played from a first-person perspective.
