World of Warcraft I suppose, just wish people would give more inventive faster more skill based MMOs a chance.
This, or Quake. There would be no Call of Duty. No Half Life or Team Fortress or ANY source games.Kopikatsu said:Doom.
I'm just kind of curious how games would have developed without it.
1) Chrono Cross is a retelling, reimagining, and extension of the game Radical Dreamers, which was already a sequal to Chrono Trigger. Basically it was just the Viper Mansion stuff.Aurora Firestorm said:I have some candidates!
Chrono Cross. It wasn't *technically* meant to be a sequel, so we still leave room for Chrono Trigger to have a legitimate storyline sequel. And now the company doesn't have the excuse to not ever touch Chrono again, of "oh but we diiiiiiid give you a sequel, hur hur hur." And then we wouldn't have this "Schala is a blonde scrappy kid" abomination, and Magus wouldn't turn into a loser who can only equip one spell per battle or whatever. Whoever turned Schala into Kid deserves a place in the Special Hell for people who talk in the theater.
They're still around. A new Serious Sam just came out last year, and I think it's even getting a 360 port this year.Laurents van Cauwenberghe said:whatever game popularized the modern fps,i want games like doom and serious sam back
Hell, the roots of the FPS genre can be traced back as far as Maze War from 1974. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_War] I think it's almost certain that we'd still be seeing FPS games today if we removed several of those earlier titles. For whatever reason, first person shooting has always been a direction we've tried to go in.Akalabeth said:You heard of a game called Castle Wolfenstein? Or Blake Stone? Or Marathon? Removing Doom would not have bucked the trend, slowed it maybe, not gotten rid of it. Some other game would have come along that would have evolved the already growing genre.Trull said:This, or Quake. There would be no Call of Duty.

I dislike the modern style of FPS, too, but it's easy enough to ignore in favour of what I do like.
