Forums - Gaming - Is FPS all that's left from the Arcade on PS3/360?

I think you are confusing what an "Arcade styled" game is.

This is an arcade styled shooter.

This is Doom.

 

BIG difference.

You aren't seriously trying to suggest that before Doom shooters were more popular on computers than in the arcades are you?

Equating first-person shooters with sidescrolling shooters is fallacious and ignores mechanical differences between the genre, which are the only differences that matter.

I wasn't trying to do that.

I'm talking aiming at a screen and pulling a trigger. Duck Hunt, Time Crisis.

Lightgun games. You are thinking of lightgun games. ANybody can play a lightgun game. You point and shoot. You don't have to move, except when movement is automated.

Mechanical differences between lightgun games and FPSes are enormous, regardless of superficially similar perspective.



This is what I think of when I think "Arcadey".

Cute. I like you.

We both know that what today is known as the FPS evolved from the lightgun game in the arcade. Would Doom even work in the arcade? Doom multiplayer obviously could but could the singleplayer game?

i guess you really don't know anything about anything other than the Wii and just despise them before "HD consoles is for shooters!"

there are more arcade games on the HD consoles than on Wii.


But those games don't count, they're downloadable!


Does it matter? he said he wants new stuff not old stuff from 80's and 90's and he seems to ignore my post.

there are a lot of retail "Arcadey" games as well. like Time Crisis Razing Storm.

Don't condescend to me. I'm not the one.

And no, we don't know anything of the kind. You have in no way been able to draw a relationship between FPS games (Wolfenstein being the earliest I can think of) and lightgun games. FPS games did not evolve form lightgun game.s They evolved from sidescrolling shooters, but first person shooters are an inherently PC genre.

No, Doom wouldn't work in an arcade. No standardized arcade controls would be able ot emulate a keyboard.

Did any of these sidescrolling shooters that the FPS evolved from have a first person perspective like Duck Hunt did?
