Most uncommon genre...

I don't have numbers or anything to back me up but I'd have to say Western. Read Dead Redemption was such a breath of fresh air, I mean you can count the good Western games on one hand. What do you think, which Genre is pretty uncommon to get a new title, or more importantly which Genre would you like to see expand?

Western is a setting and a theme but not a genre.

I say a tactical is the most uncommon.

Space Combat games, like Wing Commander, Tie Fighter, etc. There are some underground games, but overall, the genre's pretty dead.

Western isn't a genre

Simulators in general. Be it space flight (c'mon, a new Freespace please!), normal flight (Microsoft has a new one coming out, but from Apache to Ace Combat the ones we have now are pretty arcadey compared to the old ones), and mech. Though the only one I can think of is Mechwarrior so... in other words Mechwarrior 5 needs to hurry up.

Other than that, survival horror is pretty rare. Dead Space may be my favorite franchise this generation but survival horror it is not.

I'm not really sure, but Survival horror games are getting pretty rare now aren't they?

And yeah Western isn't a genre.

I'd like to see more survival horror games.

Role Playing Shooters. Sure there's Borderlands and Fallout but you just dont see many of them out there.

There's only a couple of play create share games.

Rougelike, survival horrors

Stealth games. I mean, trulystealth games, where you don't need to take aggressive actions unless completely necessary.

Okay! Okay! Western isn't a genre... The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is an Action/Drama, but I will always call it and others like it a Western.

Western is a subgenre of film because films are classified according to themes and methods of storytelling. Western isn't a genre of games, though, because games are classified according to mechanics.

Western's not a game genre.

3rd person\RTS hybrids, last one I played was Rise and Fall (fun game). koospetoors

Most of the good stuff is dead or dying these days... It's all about shooters now. Some claim to have RPG elements which I always find hilarious. I'd love to see horror games make a comeback someday

• Space/flight sims (or just plain arcade flight)
• Tycoons
• Pure stealth
• True survival horror
• Adventures (might be wrong on this actually)
• Mech sims

The most uncommon genre? Anything that's almost completley unique and ground breaking.

Point and Click Adventure games and the next being simulators.Vexx88

I swear I was just going to say Point and Click games! The genre died out in the 90s and I would love to see an honest attempt by any developer to try to make one that'll rejuvenate the genre. Those were (somewhat) fun back in the day.

Where combat is not encouraged, except as a last resort and there are better alternatives to it.
