Game device, game system, and information storage medium

A game system that implements a game in which a first character and a second character battle each other, the first character being controlled based on an operation performed by a first player, and the second character being controlled based on an operation performed by a second player, the game system comprising:

• a character control section that controls the first character and the second character within an object space based on operation information about the first character and operation information about the second character;
• a virtual camera control section that controls a first virtual camera and a second virtual camera that respectively photograph at least one of the first character and the second character based on a position of at least one of the first character and the second character;
• a display control section that displays the object space photographed by one of the first and second virtual cameras as a game image;
• and
• a position selection section that determines whether to set a basic position of one of the first and second characters within the game image to a right side or a left side with respect to a basic position of the other of the first and second characters based on a selection instruction issued by one of the first and second players,
• the virtual camera control section controlling the first virtual camera and the second virtual camera so that the first virtual camera and the second virtual camera are situated to be point-symmetrical, line-symmetrical, or plane-symmetrical with respect to a reference point, a reference line, or a reference plane that is defined by a first position within the object space that is linked to the first character and a second position within the object space that is linked to the second character, and determining whether to display the object space photographed by the first virtual camera or the object space photographed by the second virtual camera as the game image based on the basic position of one of the first and second characters determined by the position selection section.

A computer-readable non-transitory information storage medium that stores a program that causes a computer to function as game devices including a first game device and a second game device that exchange operation information about a first character that is controlled based on an operation performed by a first player and operation information about a second character that is controlled based on an operation performed by a second player in a game system that implements a game in which the first character and the second character battle each other within an object space, the program causing the computer to further function as:

• a character control section that controls the first character and the second character within the object space based on the operation information about the first character and the operation information about the second character;
• a virtual camera control section that controls a first virtual camera and a second virtual camera that respectively photograph at least one of the first character and the second character based on a position of at least one of the first character and the second character;
• a display control section that displays the object space photographed by one of the first and second virtual cameras as a game image;
• and
• a position selection section that determines whether to set a basic position of one of the first and second characters within the game image to a right side or a left side with respect to a basic position of the other of the first and second characters based on a selection instruction issued by one of the first and second players to one of the first and second game devices,
• the virtual camera control section controlling the first virtual camera and the second virtual camera so that the first virtual camera and the second virtual camera are situated to be point-symmetrical, line-symmetrical, or plane-symmetrical with respect to a reference point, a reference line, or a reference plane that is defined by a first position within the object space that is linked to the first character and a second position within the object space that is linked to the second character, and determining whether to display the object space photographed by the first virtual camera or the object space photographed by the second virtual camera as the game image based on the basic position of one of the first and second characters determined by the position selection section.
