If you ask the average person what a video game looks like, odds are, they’ll probably describe something like Call of Duty. You got a guy with a gun shooting other guys with guns. A shooter. You look at nearly every triple-A studio, and it’s all they can seem to make. Call of duty, battlefield, Far cry, rainbow six, halo, Destiny, you get the picture. The shooter has become synonymous with studios like Activision, cause its the only thing they produce, other than misconduct allegations. Microsoft really bought these guys, huh. But, where did this genre come from, and why is it literally everywhere? Things weren’t always like this, so to answer that question, we’re gonna need to go back to the beginning.

Bad game idea your playing as a animal that you make and you start off being peaceful and hunting or running away from predators depending on your traits you gave your animal and every time you die your population decreases and the goal is to survive and after a hour of playing humans are evolved and you now fear humans and run away from them and your going through all of the earth’s existence until your species dies or until you get the future and travel to another planet and it just repeats over and over again (there’s also multi player)

Definitely not watching this minutes before a test on the history of games lol. Either way, great video

[@gabrielfernandezguerra6538]

And remember, if it doesn't run doom then it must be thrown away

[@musicbyshadofox]

And now what's going to happen is CS2 is going to get released, which hopefully means that Half Life 3 is possible.

[@anamazingloadofgarbage3026]

question is, will it take place after half life 2 episode 2, or half life alyx?

Doom is still 2.5D. It just has better illusions and heights. You can't jump but I bet that's possible in the doom engine. You can't freelook, and the only reason you were freelooking is because you're using a port like GZDoom which is actually 3d. Doom can't also have 3d floors Also, Doom had demos and multiplayer too I'm pretty sure Ik I sound like a nerd, but I just wanna clarify some stuff

[@GhostbustersHQ]

Doom good 👍

[@davisthedaviskids2574]

Line from pong is my favorite character

[@11531337]

I missed out on Doom as I got into PC gaming in the Quake era, but my dad had Zero Tolerance on Megadrive

[@bw_gaming300]

to bad Ubisoft cancelled Freaking Splinter Cell Vr imagine how cool that'll be take a studio who really cares and takes time and you have a vr masterpiece I wish there were more espionage stealth games in vr that mostly don't take place in a kayak.

[@jordansoviet23]

Among first person shooter games only CrossFire has one team death match version where you can only kill your enemy with a headshot. Almost all first person shooter games has similar game modes.

[@clinically_insane_]

some of my favorite fps games come from valve. (this can be seen with my videos about the half life franchise, crack life 2 and my hl1 playthrough) they were the pioneers of fully 3d fps. as far as i know, hl1 was the 3rd game to be a fully 3d fps game (quake was first, goldeneye was second because goldeneye was made in 1997 and half life was in 1998) to be created. some great fps games come from valve: hl1, hl2, (all episodes + lost coast) portal 1&2, tfc and tf2, etc. (also it should be considered a war crime to not include tf2 in this video, ik its a reupload, but at least edit it in)

[@m.ostrowski2031]

Vanguard wasn’t hated for being a WW2 game. It’s hated because it’s a mockery of a WW2 game. As were BFV and COD WWII. The problem is that there hasn’t been a compelling AAA WW2 FPS since World at War in 2008, not that the genre is unpopular or “getting less popular by the day”.

[@GhettoPizza]

I'm from the future and metroid prime 4 still isnt out

2:24 i laughed at this part, and technically doom is 2d because apparently the Engine used to make it was 2d

[@theultimategamertr2353]

Great video but I feel like you stopped two thirds of the way through. You covered the 90's and 2000's really well, but nothing about the 2010's. Imo that decade could be characterized by the mainstays of the genre becoming stagnant, with Call of Duty and Battlefield gradually falling from grace after their golden ages. People started to get tired of the same old scripted military shooters being released every year with no change or innovation. Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2042 were both big failures that really cemented this, although they came out years after the trend started. (They also failed because they were broken unfinished messes like many AAA games are now but that's a different topic.) But in the 2010's you also saw a a new wave of interest in old school shooters, with Wolfenstein The New Order and Doom 2016 reviving those franchises and updating them to the modern day, bringing in a sort of renaissance for those 90's "boomer shooters". After that I think the genre is evolving into a new era more focused on engaging and mechanical gameplay that was started by Doom Eternal, building off the foundations of Doom 2016. Indie shooters like Ultrakill are also adopting this style and innovating on it, and becoming very popular as more and more people are turning away from AAA shooters in search of something new.
