FPS subgenre?  I'm pretty sure that credit goes to Thief: The Dark Project.

Thief only has one sequel though, but plenty of gamers have played Metal gear even before it was a FPS, and so kojima is really the one who popularized stealth.  The work he did on pre-FPS Metal Gear titles laid the groundwork for the popularity of when it came to FPS finally.  Gotta look at the big picture, mate

Actually, Thief has had three sequels (and a VR sequel on the way).  Also, you keep calling Metal Gear/MGS a FPS, when it's third-person with a top-down perspective but also first-person toggling.  That whole dynamic is fundamentally different from Thief with exception of Deadly Shadows, which I think allowed for flipping between both.
