Poll: What are your most anticipated FPS of 2016?

[B-Cell_v1legacy]

All FPS are the same except those with story and RPG elements.

LOL. you must only played console shallow FPS my friend.

Anticipated FPS? Lol. That genre is garbage nowadays.

LOL. you must only played console shallow FPS my friend.

I can't play FPS on consoles. After playing Golden Eye, I could never play another game with a regular controller. By majority, I don't pay FPS at all other than the two I've mentioned because of their RPG/story elements.

games like Doom and shadow warrior 2 are far from generic infact shadow warrior reboot was best FPS in recent year and Lo wang is one of the most badass manly protagonist.

half-life 3 /thread

Sorry, I couldn't help it. I'm torn between doom and shadow warrior 2, although on the whole I'm disappointed there isn't more coming out (especially in the way of new ips). My dad, however, is totally psyched for either a new sniper elite or sniper: ghost warrior (I forget which franchise has a new entry coming soon).

I am seriously jonesing for a more hardcore single player fps affair, which is why my list is topped by doom and shadow warrior 2. I just hope doom isn't as canned as it looks. More than anything, though, I just want something new and surprising/surprising.

Valve do not make games anymore so half life 3 is not coming anytime soon

Mate, Doom is the definition of shallow and generic contextually. The space marine and "Prometheus Story" (referring to Hell there, and even that is probably giving Doom far too much credit in regards to any thematic significance) existed beforehand, but were quickly surpassed within the medium (Marathon and Half-Life respectively). I'll give Doom credit for its gameplay, but that's about it. Certainly I hold GoldenEye in higher regard on both the gameplay and story front (not that GoldenEye's story was special, but Doom's can probably be summed up in a sentence).

As for Lo Wang, haven't played Shadow Warrior, but since this was sparked by the mention of "shallow," saying a protagonist is "badass" and "manly" isn't a comment on the depth of a character. If those are the first words that come to mind, usually that indicates that they lack any kind of depth at all.

Heh, I saw a trailer for Reflex back in the day. What are your thoughts on it?

Shameless plug, https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10747050/1/

Seems to be okay.

Concerning other games, there's Paladins (https://www.paladins.com/). In regards to Overwatch and Battleborn, it's a distant third in levels of interest, but hey, like the aesthetic, and I think it has some interesting ideas (e.g. the mount system). Honestly, it's kind of uncanny how these games (plus LawBreakers) popped up at around the same time, because despite what some say, given development times, they couldn't have ripped off one another. Even Paragon is going down the FPS/MOBA hybrid route.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Sniper: Ghost Warrior is still a thing?! I thought the second one was kind of a flop but I only ever played the first one which...I didn't hate but I definitely didn't care too much for it. It was a decent budget shooter but I'm really surprised there's going to be a third one.

I'm not really looking forward to much since I don't have a good enough PC to play anything on and there aren't any FPS coming out on the Wii U or 3DS that I know of. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of Doom though! I'm curious to see if those canned executions are as flow breaking as they seem and I'm still not convinced that we've seen its final cover art.

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil Remaster by Night Dive Studios

 

[Valiance]

Far Cry Primal? :x

Space Hulk: Deathwing?
Battleborn? (Just kidding)

No, but seriously, it's probably Superhot, and I wouldn't even really qualify it as an FPS, more of a puzzle game with a first person point of view. Sure, there's guns, but...yeah.

Also: Does UT4's pre-alpha possibly turning into alpha, or beta, count? Because I've been playing a fair amount of that.

 

[distortedreality]

I chose Homefront Revolution because I'm a rebel *wink-wink*. A question to the op: you wouldn't happen to be related to this guy?[link]http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/TheGamerElite33[/link] Or did you just forget your password? The similarities are above mere coincidence. Not wanting to make fun of you or anything, just curious.

I mean if you really are two different people I'll be mindblown to next year.

Lol, I remember that dude.... The similarities are quite pronounced, aren't they? I've been watching the OP's thread creations with....erm....interest....

OT - I'm looking forward to the new Deus Ex, but wouldn't belittle it by calling it a mere FPS, same with Star Citizen.

Been keeping an eye on Overwatch, but otherwise not interested in anything there....is the new Mirrors Edge out this year? If so, I'll vote for that.

 

[Souplex]

*Looks at list* Well it looks like it's going to be a shitty year for shooters.

Doom is real FPS with no iron sight, regen health and cover system and 2 weapon limits. sure it has meelee animation but other than everything looks excellent. its probably most manliest and badass game i have seen.

No no no, you are quite mistaken. Over the years the FPS has subdivided into subgenres.
FPS: Games like Halo where melee options and reasonable health keep things fun, regenerating health makes it a simple matter of "If you're taking this much damage this quickly you're doing it wrong", and 2-4 weapons means you have to actually strategically plan your loadout.
"Spunkgargleweewee": A term coined by Yahtzee, it refers to games like Call Of Duty where you are merely a spectator from one scene to the next, and you're far too squishy to have fun.
Turdwaffles: Games like Serious Sam and Half Life 2 that cling to outdated design elements for no logical reason.

Doom is the definition of shallow and generic contextuall

Last time Doom was released 12 years ago and new Doom is long awaited sequel where as we see COD and Halo every single year.

games like Doom and shadow warrior are what FPS genre really need. no regen health, cover system, aim down sight that slowdown gameplay instead fast paced over the top twitch shooters.

 

[Hawki]

Far Cry Primal? :x

is the new Mirrors Edge out this year? If so, I'll vote for that.

Would either of them count as an FPS? Most of Primal's combat seems to be based on using animals and short-ranged attacks, with nothing outstripping a bow in distance. As for Mirror's Edge, assuming it's like the original, while there's guns, if you rely on them, you're doing it wrong. I'd categorize them as action-adventure games rather than shooters per se.

Space Hulk: Deathwing?

Has there actually been any gameplay released for that yet?

Battleborn? (Just kidding)

I'm actually looking forward to that. Sniff...

You...do realize that you haven't even responded to the above point, right? That Doom is shallow in terms of setting and context? I.e. nothing to do with gameplay?

That Halo has never had an annual release cycle for its main series aside, you're simply honing in on one style of FPS games with your claim of "what the genre needs." I don't necessarily agree with Souplex's genre classification, but the FPS genre can easily be sub-divided nonetheless. Games like Doom and Shadow Warrior just happen to exist in one particular sub-genre.

 

[Zombie Proof]

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the game that I most want to be great, but Doom is the one that I think will actually deliver. Mankind Divided's plot, story, and characters all look like they're gonna be a huge step down from the previous game (dumb is the word I'd use) and those things are pretty important to me in a Deus Ex game. Doom on the other hand is a game that I only really need demons, a bit of horror, some gore, and big bad guns to enjoy. All of the incarnations of Doom that I've loved through the years have been pretty different from one another (Doom on psx, Doom 64, Doom 3, Brutal Doom) so I'm a bit more lenient on what this new joint is bringing to the table. Plus I really like what I've seen of it.

 

[Scarim Coral]

"Anticipated" is a strong word to used for me. Sure there are two FPS I have a mild interest toward to but I ain't getting them on release day or rather waiting for the reviews and some time for the price to drop.

As for the two FPS game I'm have interest toward to are Overwatch and Battleborn.

That Halo has never had an annual release cycle

Halo has been yearly iteration since 2007 only one year left

2007: Halo 3
2009: Halo ODST and Halo wars ( 2 halos in one year)
2010: Halo Reach
2011: Halo anniversery
2012: Halo 4
2013: Halo spartan assult
2014: Halo MC collection
2015: Halo 5

2015: Halo 5

Okay, seriously? This is the second time you've intentionally misconstrued my original post. For reference, the full line was "That Halo has never had an annual release cycle FOR ITS MAIN SERIES. So, looking at that list, per my original post and its intention, we're left with:

2007: Halo 3
2010: Halo: Reach (and whether that counts as a main series installment is debatable)
2012: Halo 4
2015: Halo 5

But okay, I'll play, let's see how Doom plays out, confining it to first time releases:

1993: Doom
1994: Doom II
1996: Final Doom
1997: Doom 64
2004: Doom 3
2005: Resurrection of Evil & Doom RPG
2009: Doom Resurrection & Doom II RPG
2016: Doom (reboot)

And, going by individual Halo games, we're left with

2001: Combat Evolved
2004: Halo 2
2007: Halo 3
2009: Halo Wars & ODST
2010: Reach
2012: Halo 4
2013: Spartan Assault
2015: Halo 5 & Spartan Strike
2016: Halo Wars 2

There's one more Halo game on that list, and more Halo games released over a shorter time period, but otherwise, both series have had a double release, but Doom wins for annual releases (1993-'94, '96-'97, 2004-'05 compared to 2012-'13, '15-'16), plus Doom also has two reboots compared to Halo's zero, and has only ever been one genre (FPS, sometimes with RPG elements) compared to Halo's 3 (FPS, RTS, TSS).

Have fun quote mining.
