| Khuutra said: I'm to going to argue that the Xbox wasn't a better consoles for first person shooters, because it was - though the Battlefront games and Splinter Cell were not first person shooters and I don't know why you list them. The statement was that Halo legitimized console first person shooters. It didn't. I have acknowledged that it made it the center of the public eye in terms of video games, at least for a while, but it did not show that a first person shooter could be done well on consoles. Goldeneye did. You're not going to win an argument based on pedantry when the operative word around which the argument is based is ignored. |
until dual stick controls, which goldeneye didn't use, the control scheme for FPS was terrible. Halo 1, with lan, and Halo 2, with online, showed that console FPS can work just like PC FPS. Goldeneye didn't.
As I noted, Pandora Tomorrow included FPS in the multiplayer with the merc. Spys vs merc was a hugely popular multiplayer mode at the time. I wasn't sure if that mode was still in for Chaos theory.
