The FPS genre will die soon

[QUOTE="ragek1ll589"]FPS's are too widely popular for the entire genre to suddenly die. Nintendo_Ownes7

fighters are still popular and more popular then jrpgs. Soul calibur, street fighter, smash brothers, tekken still all sell well. and there are alot of fighting games coming out or have came out recently. 2009 is the year the fighting game genre will make a comeback.

It definitely wont die, but it will probably run out of steam in a few years. Anyone who says otherwise is being a little ignorant. Shooters popularity wont last forever.starwarsgeek112

Platformers died because most people think platformers are kiddy. People are insecure and will play a shooter to make them seem more manly.

Shooters aren't dying anytime soon. Especially if this new MLG Themed Dr. Pepper works out the way it's planned, competitive gaming will get a huge boost and when people see you can make money off playing video games and having fun (despite what you kids think, most of the pros don't drain themselves into playing these games all day, they actually do other things) at the same time, it beats working at McDonald's hating your job.

Man I'm REALLY getting sick and tired of this 'all FPSs are the same' BS. Please tell me how Call Of Duty 4, Fallout 3 and Mirror's Edge are the same?gunswordfist

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.nintendoman562

I didnt read the comments here....but I hope youve been sifficiently LAUGHED out of your own thread.Cole-Protocal

I don't see the fps genre dying anytime soon. There is a reasonwhy other genres died.

Fighting game genre - was at it's golden age during the 2D era, namely SNES era. Street Fighter and King of Fighters was leading the genre. Ever since the transition to 3D, these genre leaders found no place in the market, especially among fans. So the only franchises left were the ones who started off in 3D, ie. Virtua Fighter, Tekken & Soul Calibur. Mortal Kombat managed to scrape through. But without Street Fighter, King of Fighters or any of the Marvel/Capcom spinoffs, the whole genre almost died if not died off completely.

RTS genre - was once the most popular genre for pc primarily because the keyboard and mouse worked well with the genre. Now that developers are focusing their efforts on consoles, this genre is facing a problem. It is particularly difficult to micro manage with a game controller. So, apart from the original pioneers of RTS games like Westwood (now EA) and Blizzard, any other developer would not sought to develop an RTS game due to it's unpopularity on consoles. As a result, this genre is also dying if not almost dead.

RPG, Action, FPS - the prevailing genres of the current era, primarily because the these games work well on consoles and pc in terms of controls.And honestly, i don't see these genres dying any time soon.

so platforming and fighting are dead now???????????tOtalPWNaAe

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.nintendoman562

Remember when Doom came out? Doubt it but what happened was the market was satured with cheap knock-offs with no innovation and people were saying that it was gonna die like you are now. It's 2009 and we still have plenty of shooters.Whiteblade999
