see, if you only started gaming across the last decade or more, thats what you would think 3rd person shooters were always like but before Resi 4, we often had floaty camera, awkward angles, poor control of shooting because sometimes you just couldn't see where you were going to shoot and to compensate that, we would have to make do with an almost birds' eye view camera (think MGS3).

Resi 4 was revolutionary in many ways but the mechanics it brought are now the industry standard.

Pretty much.

If we're really going to be honest about console FPS' then there are two games and mentioning them has become a bit tedious by now but these two really put console FPS' on the map: Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.

1st party, plain bad launch by microsoft and specs. Plus, this year, the PS4 will come into its own, factor in all the 3rd party AAA games and the exclusives coming, big things for Japanese game fans with Yakuza, Kingdom Hearts and then with the big Horizon launch. It's the best device for AAA gaming at the moment, PC included.

I reckon I'll do all my shopping at the end of the year, with Resi 7, Mass Effect and Horizon looking like must buys. I just need the time to finish TW3.

Halo was a system seller for the Xbox but it did not get that console anywhere close to winning that gen. It did however help put MS console on the map and make it shit loads of money.

None of that however makes it as revolutionary as GTA III or Resi 4. You're acting like console fps games never existed before.

well RE7 just came out lol

But other than that, if you're looking for classics, go for RE2, RE3, Alone in the Dark 4 (PS1), Fatal Frame (I think that's what it was called) and a number of Silent Hill games.

@Prince_Denspion: How many games do you have on there?

I have the whole Uncharted collected, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3 and all expansions, PES 2016, COD, Mad Max, MGSV and that DC Online (never play it) along with at least 6 or 7 demos, all the normal apps (netflix, BBC etc) along with all teh saved data for ALL those games. I might be missing a game or two and I only just got a memory message, which led me to deleting a couple demos. That's it. I haven't had memory full issues other than all that.

Edit: also I've got Watchdogs 3 (the 3 hour trial but haven't had a chance to play it). I think that was a 30-40gb install.

Out of those classic FPS games, it goes like this for me:

DOOM, DOOM 2, Wolfensteing 3D >>>> Duke Nukem 3D

Oh man, great idea for a thread and I'm not sure where to begin so I'll start at the beginning of my MGS odyssey:

The whole opening segment of MGS on PS1. The cinematic intro, that little bit in the basement or whatever that area was and then the ride up the lift and...finding that my footprints in the snow could be followed by the enemies!

Fallout 3: Once again, near the beginning when you first leave the fault and seeing the vast world around you and having the choice to walk ion any direction

The graphical beauty of riding through a forest path in twilight in The Witcher 3

Medal of Honour - Normandy landings

Mario Galaxy - erm, the whole 3D world platforming!

Mass Effect 2 - SPOILER! Knowing that my team set up in the end game led to the deaths of my close comrades. NO NO NO

Colin McRae Rally - I can't remember which one but one of the earliest versions, probably PS1 or early PS2, racing along an ice track with the sun setting in the distance

Red Dead Redemption - Bear attack! The fact that I had no idea there were bears in the game and I was minding my own business lol

Half Life 2 - SPOILER! The abrupt ending which ends in a flash of light if I remember correctly with Alyx just sort of disappearing

MGS 4 - The mini Metal Gear stalking me in the opening segment and I'm just rolling through its legs lol

Witcher 3 better looking? I mean, it's cut up into segments so I guess you're probably right considering GTA V is all there in one go.

And I agree, in fact, I would not have discovered every location if it wasn't for the online videos I stumbled on like a year after I bought the game lol
