| CollectiveCynic said: It actually isn't, in fact it's mostly refines ideas that have been done before. Scripted storytelling sequences told entirely through a first-person perspective has been done before in; Unreal, System Shock, and Trespasser. The story wasn't particalurly original or well written, it was basically a bare bones re-telling of Doom's story which has basically a re-telling of the Stephen King novella The Myst. However, they were the story was told was brilliantly and far better executed than the previous first-person shooters I've mentioned. System Shock however, had a far superior storyline. |
System Shock is more of an action RPG rather than a pure FPS. Also Trespasser has no scripted events like in Half-Life, it's just that when you get to a certain area, the heroine is talking to herself or having flashbacks.
