    Seriously, how much time and talent is wasted on another fps game that is 99.99% similar to its predecessor you think? So much good could be used for creating new games! Oh look, the new MoH is out, lets shoot another 1000 guys or so and play MP that's probably the same like all those other shooters! It's so much fun!

    The same concept is recycled over and over. Aren't you guys getting bored of it, too?

    Yes.

    But I still would like Killzone 4, if the campaign was through the eyes of the Helghast (preferably Hakha) and you get to kill Rico at the end that is.

    You can't deny that devs focus so much on shooters simply for $. Like I said, the same idea is recycled over and over, which is war and simply killing people. Of course I play more genres, but I really think it's a pity they don't use their talent for different games for once instead of shooters.

    It's because first person shooters are a safe gamble. No matter how crappy a FPS is it WILL sell. People will complain, but they'll still buy it (even if they trade it it a week later) Those first day-week sales are enough for most companies to justify FPS games. Look at the last few Medal of Honor games, people complain they're bad, but they still sold well enough for sequels.

    Most developers can't afford to risk new ideas right now because of how hard it is to break even. It's easier to just trod out another sequel or a FPS since they're easy pick up and play games, especially with online multiplayer (no matter how broken it may be) and there's also the DLC (voluntary) ball and chain which forever keeps first person shooters on top.

    But does all that justify that the FPS money milking business is creating those games for those reasons? It's not about being secure about your position in the game industry, it's first and foremost about money. They don't care about anything else but sales.

    yeah, its a shame.
    i used to play fps on my pc and remember that people actually play the same multiplayer game ffor years.
    obviously publishers are getting greedy and want people to keep spending money on a new game.
    i think people should follow what cod is doing in china and fill it with microtransactions. sort of like a mmo f2p style.

    fifa also followed the microtransaction thing, but shamefully those will not be passed onto the next season.

    And you can't deny that it's not up to the devs as to what game they make, and what goes in it. The publishers have their grubby, pudgy hands in everything. I'm with Amnesia, play another genre for a while. I mix my games up so that I never play more than 2 in one genre in a row.

    You make it sound as if there's no other choice out there for gaming... Only you can prevent forest fires... Just don't buy them. Play a racing game, strategy game, platformer... "SingStar"... there are TONS of different genres...

    After playing so many third-person action/shooter games, I find FPS games to be too restricting. I hate not having periphery vision that TPS games give you. I think the last FPS I played was Crysis 2 and it was all right, but I'm more a third-person kinda guy.

    Yeah, I got sick of them a few years after I really got into them. I'll still play them if it's a series I like or just looks like a decent game. My purchases of FPS has gone down, but I also rent them more then I buy them due to lack of lasting appeal. I probably won't abandon the genre anytime soon, because games like BioShock will come across every now and again. I think there are a fair amount of other options and genres to chose from if you really hate FPS, but I understand your disdain towards the sheer number of them being pushed through and the decreasing quality and whatnot.

    and what's pathetic is that most (COD, MOH) don't take that much effort developing : you create the maps, put some items on it, create the mobs and their AI (which is not that good, just the number is challenging enough), put some textures, develop the weapons for the player character (which is quite always the same) : DONE

    I'm completely worn out when it comes to military shooters, but I welcome games like Rage (despite its problems).

    Say NO to ALL forms of DRM. Buy PC games at gog.com
