Gaming Genre that could see a renissance in the next generation

[krackdagawd]

Beat em up's

We need that next gen river city ransom.

That Scott Pilgram game that came out on ps3 was straight piff nikka

We need more beat em ups

 

[PS5 Pro]

This past gen saw a great rise in Fighting games...the tournament culture...rebirth of Street Fighter [for better or worse], New crossovers and general innovation, SNK being back with a vengance...every major game series saw great releases.

It was refreshing to those of us who go back to SF2 [or ONE...what you know about Street fighter on Commadore Amiga]...

SO

what genre could see another rebirth this generation?

I'm thinking beat em ups or hack and slash...Could this generation see a new GOLDEN AXE or GAUNTLET? A new Turtles game? Streets of Rage or River City Ransom?

What are your thoughts on games that can get hot on PS4/XB1/WiiU?

I'd say sports games.
Right now, Sports games are not evolving fast enough. They fun.. 2K I love, FIFA is dope. I even like Madden
But there hasn't been a sports game that has turned heads since NBA2K1 and NFL2K
Madden has improved and survived. But when will there be a new HIT game
Run n Shoot was great from Konami... Mutant League Footbrawl, Arch Rivals, NFL Blitz
There was always secondary games to compliment the more serious ones
What happened to those? (NBA Street)

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

what are the best games? The only one i've played was RE6 which i'm playing now in 2player coop mode

Last of us breh + walking dead by tell tale

Horror has been on the quiet rise. This vr shyt is about to have people playing horror games with doctors on standby.

 

[feelosofer]

Survival Horror has been on a roll.

I expect arcade racers to make a comeback. I would take almost a straight remake of Burnout 3.

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

i wouldn't mind seeing a remake of this game

i thought the idea for the game was ill, but the technology really limited. A first person shooter with clans, and random dinosaur attacks with this current graphics would be

 

[All Women Are Queens]

tactical shooters like rainbow 6

 

[SymbolicOne09]

Probably Not now but a few years down the road a movable online co op house of the dead or Time Crises using the oculus rift , or maybe even kinect and playstation camera

Sleeping Dogs is good. I got it for free on Xbox Live a few months ago.

The problem with sports games is they are under contract to have a game released every year. If they were allowed to be released every two years I think we could get major improvements.

 

[Animal House]

Beat'em ups and space shooters. Those are what I'd like to see come back. LucasArts and EA need to drop a downloadable next gen Star Wars space shooter.

Or KNIGHTS of THE OLD REPUBLIC!

 

[Animal House]

Beat em ups like Streets of Rage and platformers with crazy lush environments and imagination bending boss fights/ enemies.

One of the goat games and soundtracks was part 2 and i hate techno

 

[Doctor Wily]

non-simulation SPORTS games [NBA Jam / Street / Blitz / Arch Rivals ]


I think the AAA developers & publishers will soon realize alot of money can be made off this genre

With most licensed sports franchises implementing some.form of "career mode or life style" game mode , i can only imagine a successful bi yearly franchise surviving off its online community & customization.
