Anyone else feel that the FPS genre is becoming over exhausted?

Don't get me wrong I LOVE alot of shooters, but I feel that this is the genre that suffers the most (currently) from redundancy. It's the same COD every year, Killzone, MOH, Halo (I liked Reach, but 3 AND ODST were failures) et...Bioshock 1 was really the last FPS that I felt that truly brought something fresh to the genre, but that was a few years ago.Do you agree? Do you disagree?I would like to see the FPS genre take another route and try something different instead of 7-9 hour campaigns with bad stories. And stop relying on multiplayer (which is mostly good btw, I would just like something different)

On the PC the fps genera (tps as well) is still in great shape. Unfortunately on consoles any progress/innovation has been hampered by the call of duty generation.

They aren't first person shooters, though.

I feel that you're playing the wrong shooters. Play Stalker, Fear, Crysis, and others. You'll see how great some PC shooters are compared to the generic overdone nonsense. SilverChimera

Yesssssssssss. I thought the same thing about 8 years ago or so? But what has come out since then? BFBC2, TF2, L4D, Halflife 2, Alpha Protocol, Borderlands, Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 2 (which you can play as FPS), Stalker, Portal, etc, etc. There are many many shooters and i think that will be the case for some time, but there are very different kinds of shooters, and you just need to find the right ones for you.

If you just play CoD1 CoD2 CoD66 1/2 and another CoD copy in a row, anyone would get bored of that.
