Computing Reviews (1998) Categories and Subject Descriptors:

J.4 Social and Behavioral Science — psychology, sociologyWe present a framework for evaluating believability of characters in first-person shooter (FPS) games and look into the development of non-player character’s user-perceived believability.

Moreover, the results from both the aspects of the framework were mutually balanced through all games examined
