Has the FPS genre grown static?
GameZone.com’s Steven Hopper writes: "Since the genre first pioneered decades ago, the FPS genre has been one of the most successful ones around. Classics like Doom, Halo, Wolfenstein 3D, Quake, and Call of Duty have carved themselves out to be powerhouse franchises and near-household names (well, gaming households, that is). The genre was a no-brainer for the video-game industry as soon as the technology was available to do it justice.
"Video games have always been about providing immersive experiences, and you can’t really get more immersive than putting you in the eyes of a character, seeing what they see and being in their shoes (or combat boots) in a way that no other gaming experience can provide. However, as intrinsic as these games may be, has the genre tapped out? When was the last time that you played a truly innovative FPS that revolutionized the genre?"
