How long until people start getting bored of FPS games?

Until another genre outpaces it. It's not so much that people get old of a genre. It's more that other genres become the center focus.

Something needs to beat the FPS to take it's place basically.

Besides which... with the Wii controls on a FPS... i'd guess the FPS is going to have a bit more free reign as far as top "hardcore" genre.

I mean the Wiimote practically brought back it's cousin the light gun shooter singlehandedly.

As it is FPS are somewhat being challenged by Minigames as the main focus for all gamers though. If the Wii maintains and the next generation is dominated by the same consumers of this generation expect Minigames to be the new lead.

 

Wouldn't that be a nightmare. O god!

Not really.  Most FPS are suck right now...

If those same unoriginal hacks would just move over to minigames.  It really wouldn't effect many of the actual good games.  If anything i'd think people who like FPS would perfer it because it would save them from buying a lot of shitty games.

 

I'm sorry but I completely disagree. There are so many  AA to AAA shooters coming out this year with their own identities its ridiculous: Socom, resistance, gears, Bioshock; and I'm still enjoying Halo 3 and CoD4. The only shooter I can think of this year that truly sucks is Haze. You can't just say "Most FPS are suck right now" 

I've enjoyed Halo 3 for six months now and I doubt you can enjoy a stupid mini-game compilation for more than a week. There simply isn't enough depth and half of the games are flat out gimicky and over-simplified so the learning curve is friendlier towards non-gamers.
