"The genre coalesced with 1992's Wolfenstein 3D, which has been credited with creating the genre proper and the basic archetype upon which subsequent titles were based."
Not sure how you can be generic when you're the original. In fact Wolfenstein is the reason other fps games are called generic.
It's a beta not a demo. The only thing it's meant to introduce to players is the joy of bug testing and reporting.
Really because I watched the "gameplay" video released yesterday and saw nothing that "decimated" that. You have a link to the second gameplay video that I must have missed?
@steve
I don't get your post. Other than you pointing out the obvious that the PC platform has been around much much much longer than any other platform and the last gen consoles were the first to really have online.
@Milruka
OK, so I was right. He was just pointing out the obvious. That PC has been around much longer and online is relatively new to consoles.
@Sarcasm
I don't see what's wrong with anything he said. PC has created minecraft, mobas, survival, ftp, indies, mmos, etc etc etc just recently. When was the last time a console created a whole original genre of games? They seem too busy releasing the same generic fps and third person action rehashes over and over again all of which were copied from yup, PC games.
No they actually just gained over 200k subs.

I'm the exact opposite. I never understood why someone would pay $60+ for a short single player game with no replay value when they know they'll be looking for another game to play 2-3 days later. Seems much smarter to spend the $3 or so to rent it and beat it then spend the $57 you saved on a game with some replay value that'll give you 100's of hours of gameplay. Not that I'd ever spend $60 on a game, but if I didn't have a choice it'd have to have an absolute to...
"$400 1080p 60fps no problem."
Killzone,Tomb Raider,BF4,NFS,Watchdogs,Witch er 3,Thief,The Order,Knack,AC4,Infamous,Final Fantasy 14,Driveclub, etc etc etc all disagree with that statement.

Yoshida: Yes, it'll be fixed to 30 FPS and we'll instead be trying to get the maximum amount of rendering with that.
The ps4 version is 30 fps.
They've already stated it's just a linear third person action game so I wouldn't get my hopes up about any revolutionary gameplay. Should look nice though.
What's so different about this game? As far as I know it's just another linear third person action game. Seems pretty common to me.
It's not being developed by High Moon as far as I know. Believe it's being done by Edge of Reality.
"Their making a average looking cod clone"
Could be worse. They could have made a Killzone clone, but I think they actually wanted people to play this game online.
"Oh and why don't Polygon just have a rename to The Xbox Blog."
Why don't you change your name to "biggestn4gtroll"? Seriously your comment history speaks for itself.
If EA really cared about money they'd use Steam. They lose tons of money on every release by using Origin so to think they care about Sony money is pretty unwarranted.
You couldn't be more wrong. Any card you buy today that's better than the console gpus will still be playing games better than the consoles in 5 years. Yeah consoles will be still be running games "fine", but with much worse graphics than the pc versions. It's not like gpus lose power over the years like you think they do. My gpu from around the 360/ps3 release still runs games better than the 360/ps3 versions.
Engines are upgradeable. It's not the same source engine that was used in Half-Life 2. It's a much upgraded version. Go max out and play some DOTA2 it has some of the best IQ and special effects that I've ever seen in a game and it's using the "10 year old" source engine.
I bought 4 early access alpha survival games over the holidays(Dayz, Nether, Rust, and 7 Days to Die) and this is by far the most polished/fun out of the four for me. If you're thinking of picking it up on the Steam sale going on now I can highly recommend it.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about OP.
Because you like to play against console hackers with a gamepad? Every console fps from Halo to KZ:SF has hackers.
