Hey guys,
I was looking back to previous generations and thinking about the dominant genres at the time. The PS1, N64 days were heavily influenced/dominanted by platformers and RPGs.
Then the PS2 & Xbox were dominanted/influenced by Sand Boxes (GTA, etc) and RPGs
The PS3 & 360 has been dominated by First Person Shooters (Call of Duty anyone). There has also been a SHARP decline in other genres (RPGs, Platformers, etc).
SOOOO this begs the question; What genre will dominate next generation. IMO (for what it's worth) the FPS market is already saturated and many will tire of the: move forward, kill enemies, move forward, repeat cycle that we are currently experiencing. It is a tough question. I think that the interactive drama market (Heavy Rain, LA Noire) will pick up, and hack & slash's will increase to greater levels (God of War, Devil May Cry)
What do YOU guys think?
