Well ... the challenge was to have a discussion without facts or supporting information. If we're abandoning that ... "FPS" is made up by a lot of very different games. I don't see much sense in grouping Prey with Battlefield or Overwatch with Metro. As far as market terms go, I think of "oversaturated" as meaning the point at which supply exceeds demand to the detriment of the market itself. The market for military shooters seems healthy when compared to fighting games, which is struggling. |
It was a discussion about opinions. For me anyways.
I prefer to not get so hung up on a term that ya miss what they meant. I think that when most people mention FPS, they don't mean fallout 4 or deus ex. They're talking about mainly cod or battlefield or battlefront. Personally, i've grown tired of classic FPS but I like playing games like deus ex.
I kinda agree with your take on oversaturated but I don't think fighting games are oversaturated. To me, they're just missing the mark or unable to catch the interest of consumers. They probably need to be innovative or add in elements from other genres. Some of the more successful ones do that from what I understand.
