How do you make a non generic FPS?

[The Ghost of RubangB]

Alien Nazis invade in the 1700s and you have to manually reload your muskets and mostly fight with your bayonet when they get too close.




OT: Go back in time and make Wolfenstein 3-D. Or make Quake, Half-Life, or Portal.

GoldenEye gets bonus points for successfully bringing the FPS control scheme to consoles, and the last 2 Metroids get bonus points for successfully implementing touchscreen and IR controls.

But aside from new control schemes, it's Wolfenstein, Quake, Half-Life, Portal.

Best level design award goes to Doom 2.

First online award goes to Doom 1, right? I forget. I played it modem-to-modem style, and tied up my phone line.

I still call new FPS games Doom clones.
