And I agree. FPS needs an extreme overhaul but.. if I was a developer myself, I honestly wouldn't know how to achieve that, not even theoretically. I can think of many decent ideas to possibly improve RPGs, for instance. But not FPS.


I think they need better stories. All FPS games have extremely reptitive and boring plots with extremely predictable endings. The games need more engaging storylines and developers should try and refresh the gameplay a little as well. 

Surely Borderlands was the evolution of FPS story. But it was only a moderate success, nothing like CoD or even BF. Unfortunately the message the market is giving developers is story-lite FPS makes money, so that's what developers will do.


No offense but I cringe when I think about video games focusing more on story telling in lieu of improving / innovating gameplay. Games are probably the medium most poorly suited to story telling and it shows because video game stories are terrible over 99% of the time (this includes Borderlands).

Personally, I just want an FPS that approaches collecting, building and customizing firearms in much the same fashion that Gran Turismo handles cars. I'd play endlessly if I could just build an AK that incorporates the BARS recoil system of the 107 with the improved fire-selector, stock, rifling, brake and rail system of the AK-12.
