Have single-player FPS gone backwards?

Not news for the mapcore crowd but it's good to see this guy fighting the good fight!

I believe this was posted before in the Shadow Warrior thread but it's still a good video. Although, whenever I see Total Biscuit talk about modern conventions all I can remember is him complaining about the lack of them in Volgarr while taking literally five minutes to walk two screens.

 

There was also an interesting breakdown of Bioshock: Infinite's combat mechanics. It's rather long but fortunately was inadvertently summed up by this comment.

 

If bitching about mechanics regression that everyone in the know should have expected is the best people can come up with when talking about the game, I have to say I'm not impressed.

That's correct Taylor but still, it's a great video. Thanks for posting it again [HP] and of course, for promoting my article.

 

I haven't played a modern FPS in ages (except for Battlefield MP). There are only 3 upcoming shooters I'm interested in: Destiny, Titanfall and yes Killzone: Shadow Fall. I just love the art and vibe in the Killzone games but I won't be playing it and expecting innovation. No, Destiny and Titanfall must bring that to the table. In the mean time, I'm going to play Sock his latest Quake map (The Ivory Tower) because it's better than most modern shooter crap out there.
