Shooters are everywhere, they're announced all the time, every publisher makes shooters and my god are they getting boring (for me).
I've never been a huge first person shooting fan, third person shooters I can handle more but they really aren't that satisfying unless there's A LOT more going on. Far Cry 3/4 are great examples of this. The best use of a first person shooter for me are strategy games, i'm super looking forward to Rainbow Six Siege for example because me and my friend gets super engrossed in strategic style game play. We love spec ops in the COD series.
A big eye opener was the new Doom game, I was watching it and the crowd was cheering wildy at certain parts and I was just confused as to why.. there are other genre's I don't appreciate but I understand what's great and why people like it. But sawing an alien in half isn't hardly a standing applause moment?
Things seem to be changing, the top 10 metacritics on both PS4 and XB1 do not feature a single FPS.
Now we've got the super hyped up games like TLG, FF7 and Shenmue 3 neither are shooting games. Everyone's talking about Horizon and Uncharted 4 (it's not a shooting game, it's an action adventure game where you have to shoot) as COD slips away, people are getting less into Halo (but it's still going strong) and the reception to Gears 4 hasn't been outstanding although generally positive.
Souls games are massive, Fallout is back, Arkham Knight is coming, and the Witcher was huge. Racing games are coming back and SFV may hopefully put fighting games back on the market and maybe the new rhythm games may catch fire again.
There's a while to go but do you think the shooter space will shrink as other genres become bigger?
