When a type of genre starts to get a following, developers jump all over it. Remember when every other game coming out was a platformer due to the success of Mario? The same thing is going on now. Shooters will always be around (they are fun when done well), but there will be less just like platformers. |
this is very true. remeber in the 16 bit era, every other game was a platformer. mario, sonic, earthworm jim, bubsy etc. even other games like castlevania had platforming elements. kinda like gears of war having a lot in common with fps.
as for being bored for fps, count me in. over the last 6 months ive played and completed halo3, bioshock and metroid prime 3. all great games but i aint in no rush to play orange box, call of duty 4 etc. im happier playing things like zak & wiki, buzz and mgs4 atm.
