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.

But it doesn't count, it's a shooter!

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?

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?

What?

Why would a side-scrolling shooter-

I'm going to go away now, excuse me

Lol, you asked me to show how an FPS game evolved from a game where you aim and shoot from the FP-perspective as opposed to a game where you run to the right shooting at enemies. Maybe we have our wires crossed. You do mean games like R-Type and Contra when you say side scrolling shooters, don't you?

Now are we really saying the First Person Shooter evolved from games like Contra as opposed to games like Duck Hunt?

Downloadable games don't count. Fighting games don't count. Shooters don't count.

Yes, from games like Duke Nukem and Commander Keen, where you had control of where your character goes, only changing it from one perspective to another.

I would say they have more in common with an FPS than Duck Hunt does. Contra is more like an arcade styled on-rails since you can never go backwards. You can only go where the camera lets you.

I really don't get this thread.

I don't get what this guy wants to know.
What he's trying to prove.
Or why he has stupid guidelines.

Nonsense. You're saying Mario with a fireflower is more like an FPS than Duck Hunt. A game that requires you to actually aim from the first person perspective.

Stationary FPS ---> On rails FPS ----------> FPS
