Mario, Zelda creator wants to make first-person shooter

@amaan4ever but with elements that set it worlds apart from what people think when they say FPS

@amaan4ever a zelda FPS would actually be pretty freaking epic

@HyruleanLink

agree~ He'd do something totally different

@Apastron There's nothing wrong with FPS', just with military FPS'. Essentially there's nothing wrong with first person cameras, just the shooting part.

@staranise Yes , I'm glad the ''mature'' audience will completely ignore a Nintendo ''kiddie'' shooter , I wouldn't want to have to deal with all of their ''mature'' racial slurs and ''I banged yo mama!'' cracks over multiplayer ,guess I'm not mature enough to handle that.

@staranise And if they do who gives a crap. They're usually pretty good and what they do. And as an adult people can make their own decisions. No one really cares if it's a "kids game" except teenagers still trying to prove they're not little kids. But adults already know that they can play whatever they want... even if it's a kids game.

But it's also clear you didn't read the story... because they specifically talked about how they wanted to make an FPS but how it might not necessarily be violent.

But the idea that an FPS is not "for kids," is just stupid. Most FPS are totally aimed at teenagers where as most adults are just simply not turned on by violence in the manner which people think as it is. No one plays Modern Warfare or Halo because it's violent. That would just be stupid. Again, that's the teenager trying to prove he's somehow "grown up," and the adult being insecure about being an adult. People play the FPS games for the same reason people play Mario in the end: Because it's entertaining and fun. They wouldn't do it otherwise. And most adults just don't care if it's "kiddie." Like I said, an adult doesn't care because... they're a freakin' adult! Why SHOULD they care?

@franzito To be honest, I don't recall Miyamoto ever copying and pasting anything, whatever he does, it's usually one on it's own, like pikmin for example, hard to find a similar game like that

@franzito The story did kind of mention "different in structure to other FPS games."

@Vickman178 From where did you get that?

@---Cipher--- The FPS is nothing more than just the current trend in gaming. I don't particularly play FPS too much, but I don't quite think they're everywhere the way people think they are. They're just the most heavily marketed and often best-selling games of the day. But there are usually a lot more NON-FPS games released in a year than not. The FPS ones are just the ones that get marketed and sold, but that doesn't mean that the other games aren't out there, it just means that we as gamers are barely paying attention to more out there. Instead of complaining about FPS and how they need to go away, we as consumers have to start voting with our wallets. If you want to transcend and go beyond the FPS then gamers need to start buying something other than the FPS.

Let's take Skyrim... that game sold a TON of copies. It was one of the biggest selling games of the past year. It spawned memes, angry girlfriends, neglected family members and an expansive world. A Western RPG through and through. Other games that came out and did rather well in 2011 include Uncharted 3, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D, Gears of War III, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, FIFA Soccer 12 (in every country but the US, anyway), Batman Arkham City, LittleBigPlanet 2, Saint's Row: The Third, Star Wars the Old Republic, Mortal Kombat, Skylanders, Infamous 2, Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Just Dance 3, L.A. Noire, Forza 4, Gran Turismo 5...

All those games came out in 2011. And while, undoubtedly the bestselling game was Modern Warfare 3... ALL of the games listed above were HUGE commercial successes in 2011 and they WEREN'T First Person Shooters. Again, they didn't sell as well as Call of Duty, but in the end that's not really important. What's important is that there IS something else out there. And, again, the number of games released every year always seems to outnumber the amount of FPS games released.

And that's not even including games that continued to sell well after their initial release. Uncharted 2, Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Brothers Wii, Mario Kart DS, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Just Dance 2, Michael Jackson The Experience, New Super Mario Brothers, Fable III, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Pokemon Black and White... these were games released BEFORE 2011 (New Super Mario Bros was released in 2006, for instance and still has legs) and they still sold really well.

Basically all I'm saying is that the FPS itself doesn't necessarily dominate quite the way that Call of Duty in and of itself dominates. Yeah, Halo gets up there too, but aside from that... well, most other FPS I don't hear about quite as much. Killzone 3, for instance didn't do as well as most of the games I listed above. And people forget that New Super Mario Brothers Wii, throughout it's lifetime... outsold Call of Duty (though some of that has to do with it being packaged with the Wii).

All I'm saying is that I don't think the FPS needs to go away. I'm not saying the genre isn't huge... I'm simply saying that there really ARE other games out there. Call of Duty itself just dominates the market right now. But gamers seem to be finding other games to play just the same. And, like I said, way more games that AREN'T First Person Shooters get released each year. The difference is that the FPS is the one they're really trying to SELL that because there is always that hope that a game can reach Call of Duty numbers, but they don't. In fact a lot of them won't even sell a quarter of what Call of Duty sells. Because the sales of Call of Duty are just THAT big sometimes.

@---Cipher--- The AAA FPS genre is what needs to go away. Simple minded sheep have all the damn FPS games they could ever need while titles like Ground Branch and Takedown are ones that the market is starved for.

@helldew Nintendo has dabbled in FP perspective with Link's Archery in Ocarina of Time Id est Gerudo fort. However it was not anything more than zoom in.

@ZeroX91 Pipedream. It might be nice, but Capcom would never do that.

@ZeroX91 YES!
