Forums - Gaming - How long until people start getting bored of FPS games?

Now that Halo is over, at least i hope, anytime more of these FPS games start coming out, it's just being coined another "shooter".

So how long until innovation in FPS games is over and people get bored of it?

It took nearly a decade for japanese gamers to start getting bored (somewhat) of JRPG's, hence the declining jrpg sales. So how long until americans get bored of shooters? I give it one or two more years until the next genre takes over...and i'm guessing it's gonna be some Action/Adventure game that's gonna be the next craze.

I'll say the same, 1-2 more years.



got bored of it 8 years ago.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

well, I never got interested in them ever, as for the people... I don't know...

When was Wolfenstein 3D released...?



Well, RPGs were the thing in the PS1 era. Shooters have been the thing since the beginning of last gen. In 1 or 2 years, I am predicting that action/adventure games in the vein of the Legend of Zelda will be the next craze.



Wow I love how you use now that Halo is over you do forget plenty of other FPS that are on par or I consider easily better then halo.
CoD4 and TF2 for example. Of course I am a PC FPS :D don't get how u console players play with a controller.
Though I would say 3-5 years its still got a bit before its gone.



you think people are going to get bored with shooting people for fun. NEVER!
