Doubtful. I'm not a big fan of the FPS genre, as it's just about as stale as the general JRPG genre.
I *might* pick it up if its $30 and I can play 4p co-op through campaign.

Yes the FPS has become quite stale but there are still lots of games that go new ways, System Shock and Deus Ex come to mind, Bioshock Mass Effect and the newly announced Rage should also add some depth to the genre, I´m not going to say Halo is in any way a revolution but does every new game have to be one ??? If Halo 3 does what the Halo searies has been doing best up till now I will definitly get it as soon as I have a 360. And yes I´m actually a PC games when it comes to FPSs but Halo is one of the few I love playing on a console. |
Mass Effect isn't an FPS, its a RPG. |
Yeah,
- Nevermind my Mass Effect statement, though I really don't lump that game with FPS's.
- Deus Ex isn't doing new things, it did new things 7 years ago.
- System Shock-- same as above but add, what, 10 years?
- Rage? We've only seen a short trailer for the game and so far there's nothing really evolutionary about it. If you think it's revolutionary because it's pretty, then you might as well call Doom 3 revolutionary along Resistance: Fall of Man.
- Halo 3 hasn't promised to do much new other than 4 player co-op (unless I completely missed something). 4 player co-op isn't really anything revolutionary, it's just kind of the next logical step.
So yeah, FPS games have been pretty stale for a while and while there are things like Bioshock and Metroid Prime (yes, FPA, bleh, whatever it's a first person game) trying to shake things up, the genre is stale.
