I didn't hear anybody complain about the mind numbing amount of cheap platformers and sidescrollers back in the day. For every quality platformer like a Mario or Sonic game, there were a dozen lazy, uninspired, usually based on a license platformers that would make you pull your hair out after spending 5 minutes with them. Just look at all the AVGN videos if you want proof. |
In terms of revenue, yes you're right, in terms of literal evolution, third person games are the natural evolution not FPS.
