Um.. FPS games can be incredibly innovative as well... Just saying

can be isn't will be
and it certainly isn't leaning towards "will be"

To be completely fair, what exactly can you do to the FPS genre to make it innovative nowadays? And assuming you have a good innovative idea, how well can it hold up as a business venture?

As sad as it is, you're better off making a dull, pointless shooter that executes and old tried-and-true formula as opposed to a game that shakes things up (ie. trading constant gunplay for parkour with occasional shooting). That's why games like Battlefield and CoD can easily sell multimillions of copies while games like Mirror's Edge (which is still -technically- a shooter; frantic running is the name of the game, but you can shoot the shit out of everyone on your way to the end of each level) are lucky to have over a million sales entirely.






And also Mirror's Edge 2 was confirmed for release anyway, so there's still some light for the FP genre.
