FPS design ~ the evolution

[-HP-]

After loling hard at this pic, and loling again. It really made me think about it. It's incredible how FPS games went from being "games", to "interactive cinematic experiences".

Not exactly a bad thing, but sometimes you do miss your good old games from the last decade where you needed to explore worlds.

I played Bioschock 2 a few weeks ago and it looks more like a "1993 fps game"

It's fun to wind up d3

Anyway, as for the picture I couldn't agree more after playing Resident Evil 5! It was a nice game but blimey they really do love the cut-scenes and "press button to not die" moments.

Been playing some quakeworld and FPS'es from that era and boy do I miss them.

But what about Minecraft? It's the biggest shakeup of the FPS in a long time.

I'd be surprised if Minecraft is even classified as a game, let alone looked at by developers with anything but wonder as to how it made any money at all.

It's the creating + sharing part (similar to Garry's mod) that makes it so popular. It's a nice change from the "destroy everything" scenario common in most FPS. I call it "FPS 2.0". See, I just made that up. I'm an industry expert!
