| KylieDog said: I cannot understand the OP saying "Anyone see some new genre appearing out of nowhere that will end up catching everyone off guard and surprising everyone, and being a game changer? I mean stuff in the past like:" and then proceeding to list a bunch of sequels or games that are anything but a new genre. |
The following games I mentioned were sequels:
* Grand Theft Auto 3 (put sandbox games on the map).
It was the third game in the series, but the first to go 3D route, with the use of cut-scenes, and put sandbox on the map. The two prior ones were 2D, and over the top, and didn't have missions to them.
* Final Fantasy VII (add FMV to JRPGs)
Sounds a bit ironic here, but this did put the FMV cut scene on the map. Anyone here want to argue that Final Fantasy VII was not game changing in what it did and sales?
* Madden Football (EA finally put football on the map with this on the Genesis)
First series to do full 11 on 11 American football in a meaningful way.
* Street Fighter II
This was the first to follow the model for one on one fighting games.
