With the multitude of FPS's out there right now and many more on the way, it seems that a unique FPS experience is a rare find nowadays.

I'm not talking about the larger genre of shooter video games, though supplementation with RPGs, Racers, Hack 'N Slash, etc. is probably a good idea to ward off apathy. No, I'm talking about when those shooters are all copying each other and feel too much like the same thing, varying only in quality and a few minor differences. Then you get déjà vu and it feels like going through the motions."
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
Since storylines are pretty low priority in shooters, how about a shooter that follows the history of United Nations warzones?
That would cover several time periods post WW2, different weapons and vehicles, and diverse places and environments, and you'd really be the 'good guys' based on the majority world opinion. Instead of following the story of Sarge. Generic Soldier you'd follow different nationalities (not just US and Brits) working in hot zones like Korea, ex-Yugoslavia, East Timor, Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, Cyprus etc. etc.
Some original thinking is definitely needed but shooters are great.
Good thing there's something called STALKER.
FPS shooters r getting old
Dark Sniper is tired of playing what seems to be neverending duplicates of shooters. These stagnant titles have seemed to have found a home on the XBOX 360 console. Much like it's console before, XBOX 360 is the perfect place to be if you want the same, bland, boring shooters. The consumer has become more educated and with that said, he/she is mindful of the fact that gaming goes beyond the gun and there are other genres to be enjoyed.
Gears of Bore, Gaylo 3, Bio$hit are a few games that fit the image of the stagnant, unoriginal titles developed on XBOX 360. At least Dark Sniper can say any shooter developed only on PLAYSTATION® 3 will innovate with breathtaking graphics and gameplay that requires precision and entertainment.
Resistance, Metal Gear Solid, Killzone 2, and Haze are a few games that will revitalize the shooter genre from the tarnishing image Microsoft and it's Microslave inhabitants have given it.
