Do Call of Duty, Medal of Honour, Timesplitters, Half-Life, Red Faction etc not count? Or are you just calling them all crap? |
Not calling them crap but they weren't as good and did not have the impact that Halo had. At the time the FPS genre was dominated by PC and
upon it's release the best FPS in the business was on console. It was the "killer app" that a new console needs to convince people to get on board.
I also see I'm copping some flack here for not mentioning Goldeneye - for that I'm truly sorry it was a masterclass! It's just that most people played Goldeneye with the single analog stick (although you can use the C buttons too) and it felt like a console game whereas Halo used the dual stick controller and until then it was believed nothing beat a keyboard / mouse combo. Halo shut a few PC gamers up with that. Also that 733mhz processor was quick for the day!
