Which is the deadest video game genre?

I'd say platforming. Unless its mario, you never see those games succeed. You?

Is deadest even a word?

*sees sounds shapes get a 9* Pretty sure you're wrong there. Point and click adventures aren't getting too much love right now. Flight simulators seem to be getting zero love though.

I read deadliest at first like what genre kills the most people literally.

Text adventure?

I would say god games and tycoon games are pretty much dead. Which is a shame because I love those genres

Me? I see those games succeed lots of times.

Rayman Origins got a sequel

Even crap Sonic games get sequels.

Ratchet and Clank gets sequel after sequel.

Super Meat Boy, Braid, Trine and Limbo were all very popular indie platformers.

And that's just off the top of my head, there are way more examples this gen alone.

Platforming may not be as big as it was in the 80s and 90s but a dead video game genre ? Are you kidding me ?

Futuristic racing.

I've literally seen nothing good in the genre but wipEout this gen.

I miss legends like Xtreme G and F-Zero. :cry:

I think the only truly dead genre is mech sims, but that;s about to change pretty soon :)

JRPG ;)

Stealth, Obviously.

Music games arent dead, if we look at Harmonix they keep shelling out great content and good titles that people keep buying.The guitar hero fad might have passed but Rock band basically blew its brains out in any half serious players books.

...

platformers

side scrolling beat-em-ups? I mean at least at a retail level...I know Code of Princess may be close to it, but can't think of much else

the point and click adventure games, I miss those, easily more dead than the platformerlamprey263

Well there are games like Back to the future and The Walking Dead but I agree.The old HARD as F*CK games like the longest journey, monkey island ect ect are pretty much gone.

People just refuse to think in gaming these days. Durptie durp, COD, pew pew

Text adventures

text based rpg's

[QUOTE="R4gn4r0k"]

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"] Because pointing and clicking requires soo much thinking! :lol: It's better than CoD I'll give you that :pionusX

COD is basically point & click though.

Too much effort.

And besides you can stand perfectly still in an online COD match, just look around (point) & shoot (click) and you will get kills.

Nice. Just FYI tho.The old point and click adveture games are infamous for thier extremeley hard mind bending puzzles. Back in the day wen you couldn't look up sh*t on the net it would take months and months to beat one of these games or more often then you would't beat it at all.

You actually think that in point and click aveture games you just... point and click ?? To what people am I talking to in these boards, wtf.

true stealth such as thief or the original splinter cell games...not metal gear stealth which isn't actually stealth.

Flight sims seem to have had a resurgence this gen. You just won't find them in most game forums because most flight simmers don't think of their favorite genre as being a game. They prefer flight sim-centric websites such as flightsim.com.

This gen so far. This gen seems to have double the number from last gen:

MS Flight Simulator X

Ubisoft IL2: 1946

Laminar research X-Plane 9

Laminar Research X-Plane 10

DCS: Black Shark

DCS: A-10

Ubisoft IL2: Cliffs of Dover (origin of my animated sig)

777 Studios Rise of Flight

Bohemia Interactive Take on Helicopters

Ikarus Aeroflight FS

Thirdwire Productions Strike Fighters 2

JRPG ;)

wis3boi

Interactive that uses Move or Kinnect.

Text adventure?

KungfuKitten

Beat 'em ups

RTS

Horror

Stealth

Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your game here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.

Space Side Scrolling Shooters... or any Side Scrolling Shooters.

Beat em ups too... Side Scrolling ones too lol.

[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"]

Text adventure?

ShadowsDemon

That said, text adventures are doing pretty well. The fan scene produces excellent work for free in this genre and there even have been some commercial ones released in recent years.
