Guys saying halo just saying that it was goldeneye.007 that made console shooters a.thing not halo. Goldeneye paved the way for perfect dark then medal of honour then halo then into cod. Just because you played halo 1st doesnt make it revolutionary. The answer is wii sports


Did you play Halo? I played Goldeneye and Perfect Dark but Halo introduced fps to a broad audience and with it many, many fps on consoles followed. Of course we can argue that technical evolution helped, too, because before fps games were not that easy done on consoles but Halo had way more impact than the games before, no matter how you put it.

Doom was on consoles, it played just fine. There is nothing revolutinary about shooters in this day and age.


Yes, Wolfenstein, too. But how much of an audience did they have? How good were the ports? How many games followed then? If we go by this, then nothing really revolutionary happened in this century, besides motion based games.

I just don't think that it matters how many people play a game for it to be revolutionary. By that logic the DualShock was revolutionary but the N64 controller was not, because the DualShock was used by more people. Doesn't make sense. 

I consider games revolutionary that introduce new ways of playing. Like Half-Life with it's insane story-telling, no cutscenes and so on. Sure, it's also a shooter, but it just did things differently and in a good way. Or Grand Theft Auto, mixing together countless genres and more or less creating the open World as we know it today. Or what about Mario 64, defining how 3D plattformers are made to this very day. Thatare revolutions to me. I just don't see where Halo should have had such an huge impact.

Makes sense. In that sense Halo was a wildly popular franchise but did not revolutionize the shooter industry in the console realm. I dunno...I think it was really Halo 2 that was the revolutionary game for online shooters on consoles, or the multilevel map based shooter rather than arena style.

Animal Crossing or Wii Sports I guess. The Sims and Minecraft are good choices as well if PC counts.

Are you thinking innovative? Because the OP was thinking revolutionary.

Without the silly ‘console exclusive’ limitation I don’t think many arguments can be made against giving that title to GTA III.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

OP acknowledges Super Mario Bros as the most revolutionary game ever, so I'm completely lost with what you're trying to say.

It is as far as the platforming genre was in its day. Animal Crossing and Wii Sports were not revolutionary, but rather innovative. Revolutions change the way the industry makes games within a small amount of time. 

IE: Super Mario 64 revolutionized open world gaming prompting other games to follow.  Before that open world games already existed on PC. GTA 3 revolutionized what Super Mario 64 revolutionized a generation later. 

Does this suffice for example? No one is following Wii Sports or Animal Crossing.

This thread would be better without the 'console exclusive' limitation.
