First person gameplay had its first steps into the popular mainstream with id Software's Wolfenstein 3D. Later id followed up with the classic game, Doom. Doom made great strides in first person gameplay, and id, once again, followed up with Quake in 1996, cementing first person games (more specifically shooters) as a staple of PC gaming.
The next year, Rareware Ltd released Goldeneye for the N64. This game is credited with making the first person game a viable perspective on a console system with a joystick controller as opposed to a mouse. Since Goldeneye, First person games have grown from simply shooters to adventure games, RPGs,, and any game where the developer feels more immersion is needed.
In the modern era, not many advancements can be made to the core mechanics of first person control, so the focus seems to have shifted to immersion. Games like the Metroid Prime series contain effects where if the lighting is just right, the player can see the reflection of Samus Aran's face on the inside of te visor. Also, in the Halo Series, the HUD is designed to always look like the player is viewing the info inside a helmet, and then when perspective swithces to third person, the HUD changes as well.
