E3 2005 First Person Shooters

John Callaham writes "Computer Games Magazine takes a quick look at the upcoming first person shooter games that are expected to be show at this May's Electronic Entertainment Expo." From the article: "Today we start to look at all the games that have been announced and are out in the open and are likely to be show at E3 this May. First up: first person shooters. 2004 was truly a banner year for this genre; how many years can we have that contain UT2004, Doom 3, Painkiller, and Half-Life 2? Will this year be any different?"

If you can't, what makes you think someone else can?

I would never have thought of doing e.g. Katamari Damacy.
There are some ideas I have, though:

1. We haven't seen something like Uprising/Battlezone "Remake" for quite some time now.
2. How about, instead of having enemies die when you pour enough lead into them, have them have weak points you have to hit in a certain order to destroy them (more suited for a slower, perhaps horror game)?
3. Alternative modes of attack. E.g. all enemies have cybernetic enhancements and you can use some special power to hack them and disable/control/hurt/whatever them as an integral part of gameplay.

I've got some more ideas but many of them are pretty much entire games and I don't feel like writing out design documents here :p.
