Is the FPS genre dead to you to

fps died for me when they became consolified about 10 years ago thanks to games like halo. back then FPS games had one revolution coming after another (quake, thief, unreal, half life, system shock 2, deus ex, quake 3 arena) and suddenly halo took the genre back several years

this is an honest opinion, i was a pc gamer back then and barely knew what the xbox was so it has nothing to do with anti MS bias.

but i've seen glimpses of hope with bioshock, portal and killzone so hopefully this coming gen the bro shooter bubble will burst and we will see more fps with substance

Same.

I was a huge FPS fan back in the day when Doom, Unreal, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Half Life (and all the other big hitters) were big. Those games were just pure, unadulterated fun. No regenerating health/armour, ironsights and other bollocks, just you.. your wits and your gun. I think modern FPS games regressed since then. Ever since Halo came along and CoD it all started to go downhill for me. Now almost every new modern FPS game tries to replicate those - to some extent.

The only FPS games that interest me now are ones with great stories or are unique like Portal. I'm hoping to see Prey 2, Doom 4 and Half Life 3 rekindle my love for the genre.
