Im hoping the same will happen to FPS-genre soon, all genres needs a reboot once in a while...

I'd argue the FPS genre has stayed relevant because developers do more to make unique experiences. Lots of room to try new things.

Racing games tend to do a lot of similar things. Sim racers, Mario Kart clones, and 90s arcade racers sum up most of the genre.

There's room for new experiences in racing too. Spintires had a good concept, shitty developer, never turned into a real game. IRT: deadliest roads could be turned into a cool racing game. Navigating through busy traffic has never been done. The show, Don't drive here has me itching to try that out in a game.
