Omeletter Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) The face of ("mainstream") gaming in 2011... sigh... I think this picture very well describes it. This picture of course doesn't include Skyrim. http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/6/6/0/62660_v1.jpg(Ignore the "We hope you like looking down gunsights.")

Halororor Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Well, how else are they supposed to do gun sights? Zoom the view a little like they did in the old school FPSes? This is a rather piss-poor representation of nothing, as none of those games, except MW3 and BF3, looks anything like the other. This pic would be like taking screenshots of the driver's view cam in all the racing titles and saying "we hope you like seeing steering wheels lololol".

Omeletter Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) It's not about gun sights.. I have to agree this picture kinda messes up what I wanted to show. This picture shows FPS... 2011's gaming was mostly FPS'. It seems to me that the gaming is technically going backwards at some points. Remember games in general ten years ago? How each year games advanced graphically, technically and gameplay-wise each year? Back then there were traditional RPG's, Shooters like Doom, and strategies like Starcraft 1, etc. Now we have near-realistic graphics and a ton of FPS'. To me 2012 will have even more FPS for the public to play. There is no inspiration, or something new that major corporations can do. It's all FPS' they are after.

Halororor Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Well, you also have to consider that 10 years ago, gaming catered for a very niche market. They have to cater to their ever-changing market, and if that means hordes of FPSes, that's unfortunately what we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 They've seen the huge revenue Call of Duty generates and they all want a slice of the pie, people will tire of them eventually and something else will come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halororor Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) That's not to say FPSes are bad, though. BF3 looks kinda good, Rage looks great, Prey 2 looks amazing and Dead Island looks orgasmic. :P Edited August 20, 2011 by Halororor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Prey 2 is going to be awesome and not your standard FPS. But yes it has guns and aiming down iron sights. Shocking! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hector530 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) if you look at gameplay video of dead island its more RPG then FPS. i think most of the combat is done with melee and you have to save ammo for the bosses. rage and prey aren't supposed to be stereotypical shooters.

Halororor Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Far Cry 3 looks horrible so far. Looks so cartoony. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
