Is FPS all that's left from the Arcade on PS3/360?

You aren't seriously trying to suggest that before Doom shooters were more popular on computers than in the arcades are you?

Equating first-person shooters with sidescrolling shooters is fallacious and ignores mechanical differences between the genre, which are the only differences that matter.

I wasn't trying to do that.

I'm talking aiming at a screen and pulling a trigger. Duck Hunt, Time Crisis.

Lightgun games. You are thinking of lightgun games. ANybody can play a lightgun game. You point and shoot. You don't have to move, except when movement is automated.

Mechanical differences between lightgun games and FPSes are enormous, regardless of superficially similar perspective.

Cute. I like you.

We both know that what today is known as the FPS evolved from the lightgun game in the arcade. Would Doom even work in the arcade? Doom multiplayer obviously could but could the singleplayer game?
