Frontlines dev denies FPS fatigue

Videogamer writes:

"The art director on upcoming shooter Frontlines: Fuel of War has denied that gamers are currently suffering from FPS fatigue.

Luis Cataldi, art director at Frontlines developer Kaos Studios, believes the high number of critically acclaimed first-person shooter games that have come out in 2007, like Halo 3, Call of Duty 4 and BioShock, has instead "created more of an appetite".

Speaking at a hands-on even for Frontlines, which depicts a near future world where the West is fighting the East over the Earth's last reserves of oil, Cataldi told VideoGamer.com that while there is the "opportunity" for FPS fatigue to be true, the opposite is in fact happening."

I am... I'm sick of them. I'm not buying anymore until Killzone 2 and Resistance. Maybe not even Killzone 2 if it comes out in the next 3 to 4 months. I want a break from them. A big one. I'm so tired of playing as a gun, flipping switches and going from point A to B. FPS's need a huge reinvention. They need to be more expansive and not so close quarters. They need to start offering us more to do.

Lucreto5995d ago

I know what you mean. Can't wait for the RPGs and platformers to come out.

Folklore, Ratchet and others will keep me going for a while.

m91058265995d ago

I know that I'm sick of FPSs. I couldn't even finish Bioshock just because it felt so 'meh' to me after so many FPSs. I loved CoD4 though, which says a lot about the quality of it.

grapchap5995d ago

After R6 Vegas, Halo, Call of Duty, Orange Box and others... I'm burned out. I went back to Final Fantasy IX and XII, Suikoden Tactics and NBA 2K8... need some more rpg's...

name5995d ago

I'll buy killzone 2 and resistance 2. That's it until Q3 2009.

mighty_douche5995d ago

oh and, Battlefield BC, Far Cry 2 and probably a few more.

But FPS is my favourite genre, so : )

socomnick5995d ago

yea I never get tired of fps as long as they introduce something new.

marioporter5995d ago

I'm completely burned out on them. FPS 3rdPS, all of them. This guy is obvioulsy just schilling his game.

mighty_douche5995d ago

love them sooo much i spent £2000 on a PC. You just play the good ones, i dont care if there 10 crap ones or 10 thousand.

eddierivera5995d ago

I cant believe its coming out for the xbox first! Its cool though, I was so anxious about this game, but now i see where the makers of frontlines have dedicated themselves to,, ill still buy this though. Next year is a big year for fps's, Battlefield looks so damn good,, turok and Metal gear online too,, I dont know if ill have time to play them all!

If you're getting something through or because of a paid subscription service -

ITS. NOT. FREE.

Stop using that word...

lindquist1207d ago

If you know that you're paying for playing online + 4 games each month, those 4 games are NOT FREE.

But if they give you 6 games one month, 2 of them are free. Agreed?

How would you phrase it then?

Godmars2901207d ago

"Games with subscription service."

Its what they are.

And yes, the same if not double for for PS+.

shuvam091207d ago

Stop being such a snob. It's an informational article. And it's free for those who have GwG, as is clearly mentioned. Going by your logic, Buy 1 get 1 free shouldn't be a thing either, since you paid for 1.

starsi3601206d ago

First, stop being so triggered. Being so angry about something so mundane is worrying, maybe you need to look into why that is.

Secondly, why don't you go round all the UK shops offering "free" iphones and android phones when you sign up to £60 a month tariffs and scream at the staff that it's not free?

Do you get angry with Amazon, that advertise that Prime comes with FREE express delivery?

360 and original xbox games are free. You can download them and play them free on 360 and xbox one offline.

darthv721207d ago

I didn't have either one of these so... why not? Can't beat the price.

Lmcreach1207d ago

Why would I want either of these games LOL

Father__Merrin1207d ago (Edited 1207d ago )

Mx unleashed has been free to gold for ages for some reason, front lines is a good freebie it's not advertised.

Both games are free to keep in xbox digi library. No subsxription required to play these games once there added. There yours to keep

Revisiting Frontlines: Fuel of War

Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "Frontlines: Fuel of War is a game that can honestly be forgotten, it was an average shooter and at that it certainly hasn't aged well."

LOL what a random revisit. I remember liking the demo for this game, but never bothered buying it.

skycaptin52482d ago

I bought it at launch, the game has been sitting here for years and it became backwards compatible so I was like meh why not

Profchaos2482d ago

I remember buying it for $2 on steam and playing it for 20 minutes

Asuka2482d ago

Completely forgot about this game. Remember being hyped about it... probably not that hyped about it seeing as how i never bought it amd forgot about it haha

Scatpants2482d ago

I wanted this game to be good but it was bad. Interesting ideas though.

Sidewinder-2482d ago

Wasn't a bad game. Clunky, but enjoyable. I still remember one of the loading screen captions; real poignant and deep...

"Our last drop of oil will be burnt by a tank."

Hopefully they can bring these titles successfully into the next generation

cannon88004036d ago (Edited 4036d ago )

They really need to bring red faction back to life, that game is loved by many... and those other games too but I love red faction more than any of those other games. Bring back the destruction!

ftwrthtx4036d ago

Nice to see they are looking for input from the people that will either buy the games or not.

Game4life4036d ago

Just keep Darksiders true to the franchise and im happy

Heavenly King4036d ago (Edited 4036d ago )

Darksiders 3 needs to be more like 1. Darksiders 2 was a very deluded experience in order to be longer.

And please hire Madureira as the creative director of the game please! His art made the game alive. If the art style changes the whole game will be a piece of generic crap.

Roccetarius4036d ago (Edited 4036d ago )

I have to admit, the loot system in Darksiders 2 felt like an obstacle instead. I think the first game nailed Darksiders better. They probably had good intentions with making it more RPG, but the animations, amongst other things suffered for it.

RBlue_Desire4036d ago

Agreed, most of DS2 felt like a chore to me with more platforming than action.
I am not saying I didn't liked the platforming, its just it was too much and was bit of a chore to me.

DS1 had little low amount of platforming, lack of verticality but it did good.

Hazmat134036d ago

i want you to take Geo-Mod and turn that up 11 i wanna see 50 story building fall and big beautiful towers come crashing down. i want a next gen destruction physics engine.
