What will FPS look like in the year 2020

I love FPS as much as the next person I am going to get Killzone 2 in 8 days, 11 hours and 22 seconds :) (Sorry been counting every last second), I have Resistance, Fear 1, Fear 2, Bioshock, Rainbow Six Vegas, Crysis, Call of Duty 4, Doom 3, Quake 4, Call of Duty WAW, Farcry, Farcry 2 etc now my question do you think it's possible to innovate with FPS how would a company go around changing the concept or making it different than others FPS if it is possible ?

I found Fallout 3 to be kinda of like a good start it's like a mixture of FPS and RPG which is great and innovative, and Mirror's Edge as well the concept is a little different then most FPS and is a fresh change even though Mirror's Edge did not do to well in ratings..

Don't get me wrong I love FPS I am just wondering what a company can do to change the genre for the better if it's possible or are FPS destined to be the same.

I mean since doom 1 to Killzone 2 we can see such a difference I would like to know what might we see in FPS if we take a time machine and go to the year 2020 if humanity is still alive around that time.

Impossible.

They will look like nothing since the world will end in 2012.

Ah very good :)

Well, in that case..i would say that they will look very sexy :D

Hopefully it will all look something like the ConduitRigga911

Well that would involve going backwards for anything but the wii

For me its not how it will look but more how they could change evolve. Like I said in the "motion control" threads, maybe for the games to change the controls have to change.

For example an old FPS like DOOM. You had sprites over 3-D environments and you used a 2-D input (pad, arrow keys, WASD) and it was okay. The FPS evolved in the way that you could aim, but instead of doing it the hard way and making the weapon a 3-D object we could move freely, developers opted for a more simple way. They made the weapon a static object that would always be in the center of your point of view, and this way you could still use a 2-D input device to control it. With this technique its how we got the dual analogue and the mouse & keyboard setups. One 2-D input controls the movement and the other the view.

With a 3-D input device the developers of games would be able to make a weapon in a FPS a free object and we will truly for once "aim" in a FPS. That's why I think a 3-D controller would revolutionize not only FPS, but any other 3-D based genre.

I have no clue.

Hopefully their will be less of them, the market is flooded with this genre. I love good FPS games, but the industry needs to explore more possiblities. Svarthek

Agreed, or at least move somewhere else with first person... Mirror's Edge was good, but it just didn't inspire the same kind of excitement as an FPS

In a way I was thinking something similar to this they will still make the graphics better than Crysis and Killzone 2 in 2020 but will add something similar or better than the wiimote that actually makes you feel like your holding a gun and shooting it will replicate the exact feel, maybe in that time they will make a smellavision for games and have you smelling gunpowder or whatever.

This might sound a little out there , but I think there's a good chance Killzone 2 is from 2020 , and somehow it was sent back in todays time for an important reason bigger than us.

I never thought of that but you might be right looking now at how good Killzone 2 looks.

^ There is your answer. Looks pretty generic. =P

The gun isn't static in Operation Flashpoint, ArmA and Penumbra. In Penumbra every physical object is controlled with the mouse; it's a bit awkward at first, but it works. You even open the doors by swinging them with the mouse.

The more it gets real... and popular.

The prospect people taking advantage of people becoming desensitised to violence, and their growing acceptance of simulated violence grows. Mind you its already begun.

The games don't train killers. Instead it could very well push an acceptance of killing.

That worries me.

And FPS are one of my favourite genres...

omg some idiot scientist guessed 2012 was gonan be Doomsday its not...

I have just returned from the future and was sneaky enough to bring this pics back to show off. :P

Giving the question a bit more serious thought - then this:

By then The Pr0n industry will take over the World and FPS will stand for First Person Sex... :lol:waynehead895

Wait... what did you orignally think FPS stood for?:?

Hopefully it will all look something like the ConduitRigga911
