FPS?

[Ghost Killer]

Is Bioshock Infinite really what we would call a FPS? Is this the direction that FPSs' are going?
I'm confused, this is not what I would call a FPS, I mean shooting is not the real priority with this game most of the time, at least it wasn't for me. I enjoyed playing it, but I did not get "My KILL ON ", so to speak. What do you guys think?

[Barser]

FPS, storydriven and RPGish. Well why does everything need to be put into boxes?
If you just wanted shooting there is plenty of other games to choose from.

You play it from a first person perspective, and you shoot a ton of stuff, so yeah, it's a first person shooter.

[GUTB]

It's an FPS, through and through -- just not a very good one if you're going to compare it to highly polished FPS series like COD. If you have to assaign a sub-genre to it, you would call it a "console FPS".

[Nerevars Goat Univeron]

It is first person, and does shooting. Therfor it is FPS.
Dishonered doesnt require you to kill a single person and its an FPS (First person slasher/shooter/stealther)

[Ghost Killer]

GUTB, you are the only one who makes ANY sense, THANKS for the reply.

Oh, I SEE. You just came here to find anyone who'd agree with you, not to actually ask what anyone else really thought.
Yeah, that makes sense now.

I think the OP is rather close-minded

Actually I know what FPSs are, I have probably deleteld more than most people own. What I was intrested in was the direction that FPS games may be on the verge of taking. When I played Bio Infin. I found myself more concerned with getting coins and upgrades than actually shooting anything. I found the fight encounters to be repetitive and over really fast, they were more of an bother for me. I was not looking for wise- cracking responses or a novice definition of what FPS are, but a response to the future of this type of game. Afterall , FPS games are only really popular in the Western parts of the world. Sorry if I may have hurt anybodys LITTLE FEELINGS .

It could be a little bit of a FPA First person Adventure.... Metroid Prime is a First Person game and you shoot guys but almost no one considers it a FPS but a FPA. Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite I would consider more of FPA than a FPS I suppose but its obviously debatable and opinion driven.

So, what you are saying is that you *are* close minded? Oh, and you are way more experienced then all of us, and therefore we know nothing.

This is not the direction FPS's are going, which is terribly sad. Don't worry, you will get you Mc-Yearly-FPS every year from now into eternity.

Your question was an attention grab, it is obvious that COD and others are not going away. Your response was rude. This game is a First Person Shooter. It is. It was even a pretty fun one which followed a more classical style of FPS, but yes it focused on story, which is entirely something we need more of in the genre.

[Ghost Killer]

I do not have an opinion one way or the other , but I find it very ODD that you accuse me of tring define what a FPS is, but yet you are so "high and Mighty" that you can tell us what the FPS genre "needs". Who are you people? so I am dismissive of your opinion , just as much as you are of some imagined position that you think I have. Nobody wants to answer the question except (2) replies, the rest wanna be starting something. I never wrote anything about the direction of FPS games. Please take the time to understand and read my post. Why you people are going off topic only shows me trhat you want a constant confrontation. If you don't respond to the topic of the post, why respond at all? Talk about attention grab, I nver memtioned COD, YOU did.

I restate my post. I have seen a new tyye of FPS begin to dominate the market & get very high ratings, like Bio INfin, the mass effect games, the fallout games, etc. that have the player perform a lot of none battle related duties that have nothing to do with shooting. Is this the future of the FPS? Keep in mind that battlefield 3 and Far Cry 3 are doing quite well, at least in sells anyway. Are these new games something different than a FPS? I think GTUB makes a good caase , these are some sort of Hybrid Shooter . Is this the future of next generation FPS games? This is my exact post and some of you responded off topic , just go and read the replies. And now this ends this thread for me, I have REAL shooting to do, afterall I am "KILL JOY"

Mass Effect wasn't first person.
I'm sorry about this, but I'm going to just have to call you a dumbass because of that one.
Also, fallout. FPS? hmm, I think not.

Hm. I think you meant to say "What has Mass Effect got to do with this debate?" rather than calling someone a dumbass just because you don't understand what they were getting at.

He was just saying that Mass Effect is comparable in the general debate about action over adventure/story. Mass Effect is a game that is about the story telling as much as it is about the 'gameplay' (i.e. killing stuff).

No, no, he definitely did class it as an FPS.

Come on, there's so rarely such a perfect opportunity to squeeze on the "dumbass" trigger. This is a legitimate use.
