My god, does every freaking game have to have metal walls and red lights.. I mean its the future, would they just have some sort of nightvision , and wouldnt walls be made of something else besides aircraft grade aluminum...
The comments on "yet another FPS" kind of echo my sentiments. However, not everyone is tired of FPS. Also, think of the consequences if all FPS ceased production. Everyone would start to want a FPS and badly. I say let them perfect the genre.
I agree the innvoation is gone - except in graphics. I mean, sure Quake was a great game and very addicting - and the graphics looked good for the time... But games like Doom 3 look amazing, and I think that for people just getting into these type of games, it's probably a very fun game to play, just like we had our fun back in the days of Quake.
You do realize that chess is several centuries old and still hasn't seen an expansion pack or a new version of it? So why people keep on playing chess? How about because it's a fun game? Same can be told about FPSes, 3rd person shooters, sports games, etc. These are not as deep as chess, obviously, but they're still fun.
q3 == best multiplayer fps ever
