First person shooters should go back to their roots.

Enough of these grey "realistic" military shooters featuring coordinated, scripted action scenes. I want my shooters to be satanic. Vulgar. Over the top. Carrying 12 oversized weapons at the same time. Heavy metal soundtrack. Being a lone gunman with no allies consantly chatting your ear off.

Bulletstorm ALMOST had this right if it wasn't for the overly serious plot.

This explaines it perfectly.

Bulletstorm was very linear.gamebreakerz__

Well besides the linearity and the overly serious plot it got everything else right IMO

I would love to see a ridiculously over the top FPS in terms of everything.

You know what would be cool? a game that takes the parkour aspect of Mirror's Edge and adds more shooter elements. you could be an acrobat in first person, shooting things in ridiculous ways.

Speaking of over the top spectacle shooting turned up to 11, what did you end up thinking of Vanquish? I recall you said you were currently playing it in some thread not too long ago.

Bulletstorm...serious plot? Does not compute.

Seriously you sound just like Yahtzee who loves games like Painkiller. There should be a more healthy mixture of both me thinks.

I don't mind single player FPS games as long as they don't have a damn cutscene every 5 seconds and then lame slow mo and quick time action sequences.

[QUOTE="skrat_01"] Player enabled high-flying sadism as its core gameplay, and over the top spectacle shooting turned up to 11 and done honestly (compared to the likes of po-faced shooters)? It isn't a strikingly original game, but there aren't any shooters like it.skrat_01

Two games I would love to play. Unfortunately Deadly Premonition isn't on PS3 *yet* and I don't really have the money for Shadows at the moment.

They need to focus on spot-on hit detection and excellent netcode. Oh, and dialing in those analog controls would be nice too. No excuses accepted from these so-called "proffesionals."Pug-Nasty

I agree with this. Resistance 2 was the last FPS I played that actually got these things right and that was all the way back in 2008. Pretty ridiculous.

That's what Doom 4 should be.

FPS's should remain fun to play and not force exploration and backtracking on the player.

This explaines it perfectly.

Totally agree, i am sick from all this cutscene,quick time events, etc

I wish all SP-FPS to be like HardReset.

Which FPS has that map design from 1993? I'd love to try it out, I don't mind if the games are old. Personally I loved Crysis 1. Its very open world, very little cutscenes (and if the cutscene comes its actuall a GOOD one), and its graphics are still gorgeous. And the UI is sweet. If only FPS developers could make more Crysis 1 like games...

Ghost Recon. What is this future soldier nonsense? Do people play these games for the stories, because they are terrible.

It's Doom.

Well, they can have the style of old games but certainly not full on. That's when you get games like Duke Nukem Forever...

We should have modern interpretations of old games, like Bulletstorm for example and Bioshock infinites "1999" mode

I agree TC. I miss games like Half Life and Red Faction were we are exploring a mysterious facility. Now a days you beat a level in China only to teleport to Paris. These are all locations we know of and this shows a lack of creativity on the developers part. I love it when levels connect into each other and I love being able to carry all of my guns.

If you want games with such complex level design,I strongly recommend System Shock 1&2.

SS1 needs DosBox to run,and there is a modder site where you can download it for free with some light mods that make it more playable by modern standards(it's legal)...

I miss timesplitters! :(

Well,there's always Serious Sam.

If it is to be good it has to keep up with the times. The level design of Duke Nukem Forever would've been fine back in the day, but not now. An old school shooter still needs to be interpreted properly for modern audiences. This doesn't mean linear and scripted levels, it just means the game should actually use techniques utlised in the last decade.

Bullet Storm was all flash and no substance, once the inital "wow" factor wore off it got very boring. I think this gen could use a new Time Splitters, those games were great! Alot of features and gamplay types, plus it had alot of humor, nothing was better than playing split screen with your friends and running from the Virus people.

So you basically you want more games like Duke Nukem and Doom 2?

I'd rather see something like Shattered Horizon. You, the enemy, one gun, no unlocks, everything boils down to when you're concealed, when you can move quickly, and when you can fire accurately (you can generally only be doing one of the three at any given time).lowe0

Look out for CS:Go and Tribes Ascend.

Doom? duke nukem ?

wait a little off topic but.... I always wondered how do you pronounce duke nukem?

HALO is the closest you'll get.

And maybe Duke Nukem forever, even if the game is horrible.
