Every once in awhile there is a genre crowded with uninspired clones of a more successful game. These genres include fighting games, beat 'em ups, platformers, and SHMUPS. You know what all these genres have in common? They are all dead. The same thing is happening to FPS's. So basically, if a developer is going to make an FPS, at least put something innovative or worthwhile in it. It's never good for a genre to die, and FPS's are a great genre that everyone could enjoy.
actually FPS genre is very important to gaming history. Imagine if doom, goldeneye 007, perfect dark, half-life, and halo never came out. pssshhh and you want to see this awesome genre dead...ppppffftttt

You listed awesome FPSs I like and grew up with, the only way this genre will die if nothing new will be added to the genre, though I still don't think they would die anytime soon.
[QUOTE="tOtalPWNaAe"]so platforming and fighting are dead now???????????mitu123
Are they as popular as shooters, I don't think so, but I wouldn't say they're dead, that's mostly beat em ups and SHMUPS. well i hope SFIV,T6 do their job and make fighting popular again as for platformers its basclly(wrong)on run by nintendo and insomniac(Ratchet and Clank)

Why are people getting the idea that i hate FPS's? I love the FPS genre. I've always been a fan of Goldeneye, Halo, Gears of War, etc. I'm just saying that with a few exceptions, a lot of FPS's don't seem inspired. Platformers were used as licensed properties for movies and tv shows (and still are sometimes). Stuff like History Channel and 50 Cent are starting to show that the FPS genre will be filled with licensed garbage as well. And to that person who was making fun of the 'drawing contest.' The wii forum was feeling boring that day, so i wanted to make a fun thread.

None of those genres you just mentioned are dead. They're just not as popular anymore compared to the FPS. But they certainly still do exist.

FPS's are too widely popular for the entire genre to suddenly die. ragek1ll589
While I don't think FPS's will die. But The same could be said about SHMUPs, Platformers, Fighters, and Beat 'em Ups. Because those genres were widely popular when they were in their prime just like how FPS's are now. Those genres aren't dead but they are not as popular as they used to be.

ya, and that wario drawing is pretty damn good
plus to tc, mother/earthbound series=one of the greatest rpg series of all time althouhg so far mother 3 aint living up to earthbounds/mother 2's greatness so far of what i played
Beat em' up, shoot em' ups, and fighting games (which are going strong) weren't future proof. They were the remnents of the arcade era that has long been forgotten about. FPSs are todays shoot em' ups and games like Ninja Gadien are todays beat em' ups.
