Some games stuffed in extra modes to try to make up for it - slightly rubbish first-person-shooter style extras that arguably dragged the rest of the package down. In the mid-2000s titles like Time Crisis 4 and a slew of Wii light gun shooters were released - but at a time when games were bloating in size, length, and complexity, the hour-long rollercoaster of an arcade light gun game with some extra bonuses seemed a less than generous value proposition. It is fair to say that the games were partially to blame. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. The most suffering of all genres is the light gun shooter - and it isn’t even completely the fault of the games. Arcade sports games feel to have fallen out of the mainstream - indie efforts appear from time to time, but I wonder if we’ll ever get a game like NBA Jam, Red Card Football, or NFL Blitz ever again.īut, no. What types of games have suffered a painful decline to the point where the genre barely exists any more? Brawlers, perhaps - Final Fight’s characters now live inside Street Fighter, and attempts to revive Golden Axe have stalled - though one could argue a certain breed of 3D character action game is descended from them, and last year we had a solid revival in Streets of Rage 4.
