| Mnementh said: Good year consolidating many genres and stuff. Like Silent Hill taking new steps in the horror genre. Overall though not so much new and exciting, more refining in the existing. The best game for me is Heroes of Might and Magic III, which ranks high in my overall list of best games. I also played a lot Unreal Tournament with friends. |
Yeah, a lot of games were refining the existing, even if they were actually better than its direct (or spiritual) predecessors.
But then there were games like Outcast and Omikon: Nomad Souls that were trying to do (with various success) something different, both 3D action-adventures and both doing open-world to some extent (different types, on both accounts), 2 years before GTA III craze. Outcast also had voxel based terrain engine and was requiring very powerful PC.
