Is it just me, or has PC FPS games hit a HUGE slump?!!

I know MOH: Airborne is coming out this year.  But what are the big anticipated FPS titles coming out this year?

Anything?  Please let know, this could be a sad year :(

Also isn't Hellgate: London, which I believe is an FPS/Action-RPG hybrid, supposed to come out this year. Now that game looks very cool.

it seems like they avertise the FPS games at an early time in the season and only show it a couple of times.  After awhile you forget about it with all of the other games because they don't publisize it as much such as say MMO games or strategy games.

The way delays are goin' we probably won't see half those games by 2008.  that's probably what makes things feel so slow.  lots of delays.

I've yet to try it out for myself, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R. seems like a fresh outlook on the genre. Last year was surprisingly disappointing for PC first-person shooters, but with BioShock, The Orange Box, and Crysis, 2007 seems spectacular.

I've heard S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a great game.....just know you have to have a pretty solid rig to run it smoothly, also, don't expect much in the story department.

But in terms of a free-roaming FPS that allows for exploration, I hear its great and one of the best FPS releases in a while.

Agreed, STALKER is a good game, and different than run of the mill FPS games. But it definately didin't add up to what it was suppose to be (you can read countless posts on this).  I was into it for a week, but then got bored with it and didn't even finish the game, and deleted it from my HD.

Now I just play Battlefield 2142, getting owned, waiting for the next GREAT game.....sigh.....

I'm just holding out for a few weeks so I can play The Darkness.  I went back to F.E.A.R. and started playing that again, and I'm also in CAL-o for CSS... I'm kinda satisfied for now.  But I hate this lull that happens every year.  TF2 would've been AWESOME to have for spring.  or Quake Wars.

I have a more than capable PC, and GSC already released two patches that resolve a large number of bugs. I don't know when I'll get the game, but I'm definitely going to check it out. What interests me most about it is the open-ended structure, chilling post-apocalyptic atmosphere, and the supposedly amazing A.I.

Yeah, again...its a good game.  I was the game was truely open-ended and non-scripted to a point. There are still load times between zones. But the atmosphere is very well played out! I've jumped a couple times when playing at night.

All-in-all, i'd wish for a game EXACTLY like Oblivion but with guns, etc.

....i guess....maybe if you didn't own an XBOX a year ago, and play Halo2 so much that the image burns on the screen.

For an XBOX owner (like myself), its the same old, same game, no matter what platform.....need something new...

Non vista version with better graphics?

As a BF2 player, I hope Quake Wars is any good.

I've been jumping around FPS's lately. I currently play 2142 and UT2004 for the most part. The onlyl thing I am upset about is the fact that my computer isn't that great so 2142 runs poorly. I am going to check out STALKER after reading your replies.

And your point is? I'm just as baffled as how people still buy the same old JRPGS that keep coming.
