FPS re taking over the nexgen consoles. I hate FPS that suck. Just make 2 or 3 not 40!!!

They should make more action/adventure

Heavenly sword 2
resistance 2(ps3's halo easily)
kingdom hearts 3(wii,ps3)
FF XIII
Uncharted
etc...

More good rpg's with good action an adventure style of gameplay. Shooters are only good if they look good. If they look bad they suck.

^ So, a game like Goldeneye sucks?

@dtewi

If you play it now comparing it to call of duty 4 yep it sucks. Your used too near realistic visuals. And playing on an awsome 1080p screen its tha life!

Playing goldeneye now sucks. PLaying an adventure game now(Banjo kazooie) does not suck.

I seriously am not going to respond how much stupid was put into a few words. To say graphics make a game suck is so ignorant.

I said that bad graphics on a FPS makes a game suck.

Jesus Christ. No it doesn't. An FPS with bad graphics can still play good.

I said that the graphics make it dull and boring even if it plays amazing, if it looks like $hit it will suck.

Someone else respond to this. I am in disbelief from how messed up his post is.

There is some element of truth about FPS with poor graphics sucking. However it refers only to games that have relatively poor graphics. Goldeneye was relatively an excellent looking shooter compared to its peers when released.

If someone was to release a FPS today that looked like Goldeneye it would most likely suck because graphics at this level now indicate poor production values and therefore you would obviously expect those poor production values to extend to the gameplay side of things. (Obviously an exception to this is individuals developing without subtantial finances :)).

But overall leo-j's statement is fundamentally flawed.

"You are not our target demographic!"

In a lot of ways you could look at this as Nintendo was too good in the SNES era of producing games that appealed to a broad spectrum of gamers; developers noticed that Teens continued playing videogames even though (at the time) people considered videogames as a child's toy. Companies like Midway really started targeting the teenage boy demographics with more "Mature" versions of existing games; Mortal Kombat was an inferior version of Street Fighter 2 yet sold amazingly well because teenage boys loved that Sub-Zero could rip off an opponents head and keep the spinal collumn intact. This move into the teen market can be seen as an early version of the blue ocean strategy that Nintendo is focused on.

The success of these pioneers was soon copied by every videogame company except for Nintendo; everyone was focused on the teenage boy market. With Sony entering (and soon dominating) the market the move into teenage boys soon became the 13 to 30 year old male gamer market; soon every game had to push the boundries in order to gain attention to sell better.

In all this time no one noticed how little girls would hit 10 or 11 and stop playing games because there was nothing interesting for them, or that adults who used to play games on occasion left the market, because these companies had found a market which printed money for them.

 

 

There is very little alternative content because every successful publisher has focused on the immature male market for so long they have no interest in other markets, and don't have a clue how to make a game which is non-violent.


 and *most* teenage boys like FPS's I am guessing? I do not, but 95% of my firends who are gamers love them...
