FPS was a unique innovation at its time but it was only associated with two games that anyone played: Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. Those two games stood alone for years before anyone else did shit like that. GoldenEye whatever, the total# of players was 0.00002% what Doom commanded. Think about this: why does every FPS have a shotgun with the same characteristics as the super shotgun in Doom 2? Because Doom 2 players demanded it. A lot of people don't even remember that the shotgun in the original Doom was single barrel, i.e. this was a franchise that continued to innovate with each release, with devastating consequences for the industry.

Exhibit A is any Metroid Prime game. Countless years were spent developing what could have been normal Metroid games. Look at the new one that just came out.

Look at every other shittastic series you hate and never want to play again: Fallout, Far Cry, Assassins Creed, Crysis, Halo, CoD, Battlefield, all these SHIT PURE SHIT franchises you hate: what do they all have in common?

Valve stole a ton from Doom and Quake but added a lot of unique innovations and made it good. Arkane Studios also made FPS games that were good, no one else did

It's not about whether it's any good but whether it would have been better as third person shooter like the splinter cell or metal gear solid games. I think it's harder to make good third person shooter, and going FPS is a cop-out

Yeah bc westerners don’t want to program the Camera, especially around cinematic single player moments imo. FPS is easy af to Engineer plus it lets Halo players try first person RPGs and feel right at home.
