Has anybody tried Pokemon Conquest? it looks pretty fun and is apparently the best Pokemon spin-off yet. It's basically "Pokemon Tactics", which suits the franchise due to the fact that on the show a lot of the battles had some environment interaction.

I see his point, I still think it would be nice for at least 2 of the developers to stop with the military FPS series and do something different or just make room for other games that don't get recognition because of them. With games like beyond: two souls, last of us and watch dogs coming out I think sales will drop for call of duty etc. then maybe a few of those companies will bring out brand new IPs instead.

Fallout is a great RPG with a nontraditional setting.



My point is they are selling basically the same game to people who continue to fork out money for the same stuff. There is not much changing in the genre so why do people continue to buy the games?


Pokemon has changed over the years

>10-year-old kid sets out to become a Pokemon master by collecting all the gym badges and eventually defeating the Champion. Also, at some point he has to stop an evil team that wants to use Pokemon for nefarious purposes.


 :rolleyes:
Fallout is a little to sanboxy for my liking, but it's still very good.
And yes, I really doubt the "advancement" of Pokemon, it's really not developed beyond any sort of superficial way.


but again pokemon isn't a genre, it's a series and series aren't meant to be completely different games and it still adds new pokemon etc. every game which in turn adds new strategies. Imagine if 6+ RPG's from different developers were modern day and set in our world with the same characters everytime.


I like playing new characters, I like using new skills, I like having new worlds to explore, I like having new enemies to defeat and new bosses to battle against, you just don't get this from modern military shooters. Sure it's hard to add new stuff but if you can't add new stuff then just don't make so many of them and make room for other games on the shelves and in the media.


Borderlands is a great example of a fresh FPS, why don't these developers try to be more original by creating something different? It's like pong cloning all over again lol.

3# Classicus, i don't really see how it's a car of some sort.


It doesn't need to be a car. Think of this entry as a walking tank.

You used Gamespot as a source.
 
Would you like to top that off with the Daily Mail and Fox news?


I'm clearly not the only person with this opinion is all that's meant to say. There are lots of people out there who want new gameplay not just new skins/maps. Even in world of warcraft people complain when a pvp map is the same game type with only the map changed, it gets very boring.
 
Actually, Gameplay =/= aesthetics. Your argument is over looks. You cannot seriously bring pokemon (A videogame who's most recent aasthetic change was going 3D) in an argument over looks.


I didn't bring pokemon into the argument >.> that's not even a genre.

Pet training/battle RPGs games have new settings/maps, have new enemies, have new characters, have new skills and even new gameplay.

Military FPS games have new maps, new campaign and sometimes new guns and new multi-player modes. it's more difficult to add new enemies that stand out based on the human race alone, it's had to give players new skills when all the do is shoot stuff.

But even in the RPG market there is some crap :L

It seems the handheld and PC gaming is the way to go lately, consul games are not pulling me like the used to.
The last game I remember buying was Final Fantasy XIII, I sold it because the story didn't hook me and was no challenge at all and I am seeing more games like this...

Planetside I think it is called the MMOFPS


I just can't wait until the Wii U is released, I'm interested to see how different the new gamepad can make games (especially the FPS genre).

I think people would enter more obscure gaming consoles like the NEC SuperGrafx or the Vectrex.

why not try and blend MMORPG elements with shooters? have players group up to take down specific groups etc. and give the bosses more stuff to do instead of just shooting, I mean come on people are more creative then that these days.
I believe it's already been done


A military FPSMMORPG complete different classes, city raids and stuff? please link O.o I was thinking about how the classes would work etc.



-Medic (Med kits/Needles/Injectors, healer/dps)
-Sniper (Sniper rifles, long range burst dps)
-Gunslinger (pistols/revolvers, close range burst dps)
-Heavy gunner (Chainguns/Rocket lauchers, AoE dps/tank)
-Soldier (Machine guns/SMG's, close range sustained dps)
-Demolisher (mines/c-4/grenades, AoE dps/tank)
-Commando (Shotguns/rifles/knives, close range dps)

Modern = Check
To do with war = Check
Shooters = check

Holy heck that is a seriously stupid way to give logic.
 
You are the dumbest person on GTM. You deserve a medal, and some pop-up books.
 
LOL THE MARKET IS BEING FLOODED WITH ROBOT GAEMS
 
Look, Robot Arena, The Robot Wars games, Roboforge, Bot Arena!
 
Let's see:
 
Has robots = CHECK
Build robots = CHECK
fight robots = CHECK
 
SEE TOTALLY FLOODED MARKET DERP LOL


because there's a tonne of those games asking for peoples money while providing nothing new right?

now can someone ban him for good? clearly no one can have constructive conversation with him about something he has a different view on and constant put downs aren't called for, you don't see me calling you names despite my view being different.

Pokemon has changed over the years, and most the games have added new stuff whether it's breeding, new types of pokemon, a load of new pokemon, a new region with new gyms to battle it's all fresh. You can't imagine an FPS game changing much because they have been stuck for so long now thanks to the modern war/military shooters.


why not try and blend MMORPG elements with shooters? have players group up to take down specific groups etc. and give the bosses more stuff to do instead of just shooting, I mean come on people are more creative then that these days.

quit trying to derail this thread, I'm ignoring you now as I see where you stand on it and will wait to have an intelligent conversation with someone else.

A BOTM based on a video game/movie/tv show would be a good change from the norm.

not flooding the market? ok then let's list the modern war shooters for ya...


Counter-strike
Call of Duty
Battlefield
Medal of Honor
Rainbow Six
Ghost Recon
and more...

they pretty much all have a load of squeals too! 6 franchises, all pretty much still releasing games in a single sub-genre. You can quit with the name calling too.

1636
Fixed your title there.
 
Limbo, Minecraft, God of War1, 2, 3, Borderlands 1, 2, Warhammer: Dawn of War, Team Fortess 2, Pixeljunk Shooter, Risen 2, Mass Effect 1, 2, 3, Sim City, Marvel vs Capcom, Braid...
 
This thread is stupid, biased and fails on a logical basis.


what? you can't tell me that having a bunch of different gaming series all pretty much the same that are flooding the gaming market isn't a bad thing.

Actually I was quoting Duty Calls but yeah, you can't really have much creative room when it comes to war shooters. But then, I never understood the appeal of war shooters anyway when you can go over-the-top like Bulletstorm.


Oh I remember that video lol. I understand the appeal it has to people but I don't know why they buy so many different games that are so similar.


People liked Doom and duke nukem because they were so over the top and the FPS genre was still very new, these modern war shooters have like no creativity in them at all.

BLOOD ON SCREEN

Are we headed for another video game crash?
Are people to silly to realise what crud they are buying?
Why do people buy all these War shooters when they are all pretty much the same game?
Is online gaming to blame due to people thinking they need to keep up to date?


People should stop spending money on the same game and stick to what they have already and get behind innovative games and systems otherwise future generations will have very few choices.

How would that work?  I guess you'd just choose axebot spinnerbot or flipperbot, give it a name and a monochrome colour, and have it fight in an arena with dots representing hazards, and regardless of which weapon you choose, you just run at the other guy and peck at him until he dies.

lol pretty much, think combat! only with multiple choices of machines (robots in this case). If you want the best RA demake you best head to the vectrex homebrew community :D that system is seriously overpowered.
