All FPSs feature the core gameplay elements of movement and shooting, but many variations exist, with different titles emphasising certain aspects of the gameplay. Other notable examples of the genre include Quake, Unreal, ® ® ® the Half-Life series, Counter-Strike, the Halo series, etc. The latter, in particular, defined the genre so emphatically that FPS games were commonly referred to as "Doom clones" or "Doom-likes" for a significant ® ® period after its release. id Software's ® ® Wolfenstein 3D and Doom are widely considered to be the breakthrough games of the genre. The modern FPS genre emerged at the point when home computers became ® sufficiently powerful to draw basic 3D graphics in real time. They provide immersive, engaging, and highly interactive worlds that allow players to engage in behaviours similar to those in the real world. First-person shooter (FPS) is a genre of computer and video games which is characterized by an on-screen view that simulates the in-game character's point of view and a focus on the use of handheld ranged weapons. However, studying the evolution of FPS games we suggest a different picture. the controller/s) is often not considered as having an important impact on this evolution. software to provide higher level and more diversified challenges. At FPS games there is exigent need for instant responses and repetition at the use of certain features like the pull of the trigger and the secondary function of the gun (usually the collimator or an alternative fire option) As we saw above the fire option was first mapped on the left Ctrl as it was manipulated by the left index and its corner position was easily accessed haptically. This specific arrangement clearly favours sensorimotor appropriation and speed over compatibility at a reflective level. The switch from the arrow keys to the WASD did abandon the mapping at the semantic level but provided for the ability to use the large keys around the WASD area with the thump and little finger. These functions are used on a continuous basis (often in parallel) so the main interest of the designers was to enhance intuitive use and minimize finger strain. The movement functions (forward, back, left, right) are mapped on the “WASD” – or in some cases “ESDF” – following both i) a spatial metaphor of the actual movements in the virtual world, and ii) the topology of the three middle fingers on the keyboard (the middle being longer is assigned to W). The default keyboard mapping for the game Counter Strike Source® Consistency between controls and functions.
