What game Genre is slowly dieing

Platforming/RTS. Point and click is already dead for the most part. Duckman5

Haha, tell that to all the people who are getting pumped about StarCraft II.

It's the platformer. Everyone knows that.

The traditional RPG game is losing its base to MMO games and to action type games (to an extent).

My vote goes for platformers.

Other - Platforming

Luckily, however, the platforming games that have come out recently are easily some of the best games ever made:

Little Big Planet and Mario Galaxy.

Sadly, I feel it is platformers. Being a fan of platformers myself, I can honestly say they are a lot harder to find than anything else now adays.

for me RTS

Ok, so that might explain something. I'm super stoked for Star Craft II but alas I'm caucasian. Now using your method of thinking and I'm going to advance that. Liking Starcraft II makes you Asian!!! That would explain the size of my... hmm....yeah you're on to something Ducky.

3d platformers with collectables ie: Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Spyro, Mario 64, etc. For me these games are timeless. They're still completely fun.

Platformers, although they are one of my favoite genres.

games that require lots of thinking, wether it be turn based or deep strategy games or puzzle/platform games and even proper tactical shooters. Seems no one wants to play games that require anythin more than reactions, which is quite sad. luckily there are still the die hard fans of these games.

lol FPS r not dieing from last gen they r grown alot. if i thing a genre is dieng i ill say is acting / adventure and platfomers, i havent seen anything god for this genre apart from R&C mario galaxy and LBP D: I need Jak & daxter and sly for this Genretition !

I agree with most people and say platformers are pretty much dead right now. I am disappointed with the lack of quality PS3 RPGs out though. Aside from Oblivion, Fallout, and Valkyria Chronicles, there really isn't much in the way of RPGs. PS1 and PS2 both had a ridiculous number of good RPGs which was great, but PS3 seems to be falling far behind 360 RPGs this gen. It's sad that the only RPGs I play on my PS3 are PS2 games. We need more quality PS3 RPGs. Also, I think FPS is far from dead with the number of people that still play Halo, CoD, Killzone, and Battlefield, plus with Bad Company 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Bioshock 2 all coming out, FPS is stronger than ever in my opinion.

Western RPG`s, platformers, survival horror and adventure games.

I voted sports because every year its the same rehashed games with new rosters, nothing new has come out of sports games for a long time...SoopaKilla

Thats very true.

I think Action/Adventures are dropping a bit. Not many platformers either. I think FPS will never die though

I don't know if it's slowly dying but Survival Horror genre is almost forgotten...

Other then "Siren" there really hasn't been a proper survival horror game. You either have tons of guns or some kind of super abilities and the game tries to be horror and nerve wrecking but in this generation of consoles there hasn't been any titles..

I miss Resident Evil and Silent Hill series. Fatal Frame, Clock Tower 3....

Imagine Dead Space atmosphere, visuals and sound with old school zombies and you - a main character as defenceless female with flashlight, watch and barely working radio communication hunted, alone, scared trying to survive horrors on every corner with engaging story, characters and changing environments.

Yeah... I miss proper survival horror game - the possibilities are incredible with today's console technology.

I hope to see one such game this generation.

i chose sports...they will run out of ideas eventually...then it will be the same thing over and over but with different players

Anything turn-based.

The turn-based RPG is dead... long live the turn-based RPG; even Dragon Quest IX is being turned into an action RPG from what I understand. Sid Meier's Civilization is the only IP around that's still doing turn-based strategy as well... RTS is pretty much dominating the strategy realm.

Guess people don't want to wait their turn anymore.

HSG (Horror surving games)

[QUOTE="Silent-Hal"]
It really isn't. It doesn't have anything in common with old school survival horror games. It's a third-person shooter with horror elements, just like RE4 and 5. raven_squad

lol I would definitly have to agree with that.

Why isn't racing on that list? With there being only 1 REAL racing game for the PS3, I think it may pretty much be dead.t3rr18l3one

thats because there are plenty of racers on the PS3. Motorstorm, Gran Turismo, Burnout, Mid night Club, Grid, Wipeout HD, Need for Speed, Ridge Racer, Dirt, Pure. . . and we have Mod nation Racers on the Way too. but how many Platformers, adventure games, and survival horror games do you see. i bet even if you added up the number of adventure + Platformer + Survival Horror they still wouldn't have as many as racing games. or at least the number would be pretty close.

I would have to say sports.groundgamer

Sports will never die, as long as it still has fans of the real sports, the games will sell like hot cakes.
