    Full Body Awareness

    Concept »

    Some first-person games that wish to immerse the player in the experience more will go as far as to include full body awareness, or the ability to see the player character's body when looking down.

    Shouldn't it be called something like "expanded body awareness"?

    If a game is played in the first person perspective, then clearly you cannot see the main character's "full body".

    That would probably be a better description of it, but Full Body Awareness is the common term for it, so we should stick to it.

    Sadly, Far Cry 2 doesn't have this concept :(
    You can only see your characters legs at some scenes.

    Way old thread, but for my 2 cents it's very applicable to games where you also cast a shadow.
