   I'm so tired of #gamedev saying "we made the game first-person perspective because it's more immersive", when we know since forever that it's not.

   First of all, it feels like looking through a keyhole, or a cardboard tube. People have 220° peripheral vision even when not moving our heads, and we move our heads all the time.

   But more importantly, we have mirror neurons in our heads. Looking at a character lets us empathize with it, and feel what we imagine it must feel.
