Hi,
I would like to ask you what FPS shooters do you prefer more and why. And for example, which would get more success on market?. Vote on poll and write why you think so in comments.
Thanks .
Augustas.
I like future, as you can just do what ever you want.
Do a medieval/futuristic crossover with an awesome crossbow as your main weapon. Everyone loves crossbows. Woosh.
Which do I prefer? Something that doesn’t try and focus on realism. Bioshock for instance. Something that doesn’t conform to real world rules.
Make the setting something interesting and creative, and the gameplay re-playable and allows for the player to make their own choices.
The stake gun from Painkiller is the coolest gun ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQc7x8eY5Aw
Pretty tired of military shooters in general, whatever era they take place in. I enjoyed the setting in Dishonored, something along these lines would grab my attention.
Regarding market success however, I’d say go for modern (can’t be anything less than spectacular quality though, which is probably very hard to pull off without a large team :p).
Anything but WW2. that topic has been beaten to death in the gameworld. (e.g. WW1 on the other hand, not so much)
Actually I would like to see a complete new setting all the other have been done over 9000 times. Maybe a Dragon Ball Z shooter KAMEEHAAMEEHAAAA!
just go with Science fiction
How about make whatever you want to make…
Screw WW2, forget MW2, look to the future, man.
I never liked WW2 games because the weapons are too damn old. M1 Garand is like molasses compared to my M4A1. Some of the best guns were made in the last 20 years: P90, F2000, MP7(may fave), MP9, ACR, AN-91, etc. One of the most over used gun in games, movies and RL was made in 1947, 2 years after WW2 ended.
Modern Warfare games stick you with using weapons/vehicles of the day, which is alright if it wasn’t overused thanks to some brands of games, I will not mention.
Future tech is where it’s at, it’s cool, it fun, it’s imaginative.
Creative worlds with creative weapons. I am not a FPS fan in most cases, but games like Borderlands, Darkness and Dishonored got my attention. I would say think of a world that intrigues you (with no current world rules) and build out from there.
Odds are, if you find it interesting, so will some others.
WW2 is best for me. It has been done before, but if you can top what has been done with visuals and gameplay features you dont have to worry about it.
None of the above. Military shooters of any era are overdone. Come up with a new twist on things.

Timesplitters, Quake, etc. I wouldn’t consider them future though, just the typical arena shooters.
Personally I’d like to see someone do something new with shooters
look at half-life its science fiction
I prefer old old time like 1500s-1938 I love muskets and I love bolt action rifles
How about fantasy setting, with magic-based weapons (fireballs, etc)?
or maybe an FPS where we shoot necro forum threads.
