The Evolution of The FPS Genre

Lol knowing that I played doom '93(came out the same year when I was born) when I was like 5 years(1998)(My dad learnt me how to play it)This was fun to read, thanks.

Altough there are a lot of FPS games I have never heard of..

Good thread, but missing a load of titles, ie:

Blake Stone

Kingpin

Soldier Of Fortune

Shadow Warrior

Blood

Shogo: Mobile Armour Division

No One Lives Forever

Requiem: Avenging Angel

Clive Barker's Undying

System Shock 2/Rainbow Six aren't FPS's either

Well, Of course SS2 is a FPS, It's a FPS/RPG. And rainbow six is a shoother nevertheless!

I think it's cool they added Turok, but that's gotta be the dullest screenshot you can find

Hexen?

cool thread.

Great games there, the original SW: Jedi Knight I think was worth too, it had many original elements. I enjoyed it a lot, even without being a SW fan.

-HP- · February 9, 2008 at 7:50 PM

I'm gonna add new ones soon

Thrik · February 9, 2008 at 7:50 PM

Haha, awesome. Weirdly kind of nostalgic seeing some of that.

Pity some of the screenshots were really bad though, as already pointed out. I'm also a bit disappointed they didn't show 3D Monster Maze, which clearly should have been the real #1 of the list even if technically not a shooter. Highlights the extreme divide in technology better.

Ok, added new screens/games and edited some of the low res ones.

OMG, I remember Blake Stone!! That was awesome, the enemies talked! Didn't they? :s

That was awesome! Although wasn't Allied Assault 2001? And Far Cry, like, March 2004? (Also, Turok came earlier in the year than GoldenEye, I think Turok was like March and GoldenEye August (November in Europe)).

I missed Metroid Prime; I think if you have an FPS-RPG there like Deus Ex, including the 'FPA[dventure]' wouldn't be bad.

I also missed lesser known games like SWAT 3 that I personally loved. Would be awesome to see a 'every FPS(FPS-RPG/FPA) ever released, by year'. But that would take quite some time/determination.

Would be great to keep this thread active, and add bullet-points to the things each game added to the genre.

Ah, good you mentioned Swat3, what a great game! It was a gem in it's year!

Where's Blood?

Quakis · February 9, 2008 at 10:36 PM

1995: Hexen (Doom Engine)

Yet the screenshot = Hexen 2 (Quake Engine)

Buddy · February 9, 2008 at 11:38 PM

Condemned would be nice to see here.

-HP- · February 10, 2008 at 12:13 AM

* Added Condemned: Criminal Origins.

* Added Swat3

* Fixed Hexen screenshot, thanks for pointing that out Quakis.

dux, I couldn't find any decent Blood screenshot, care to help me?

Btw, if anyone want to help add a new game, simply post here the name and year of the game, plus a screenshot would be nice too.

Another way to help, would be posting better screenshots for some of the games, as some of them are kinda old, and hard to get shots.

If you need screenshots, check Mobygames. Here's some from Blood: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/blood/screenshots
