ITT: We predict the next big gaming genre
For example:
MMORPG -> FPS -> "MOBA/RTS" (ASSFAGGOTS) -> Survival Horror games ->
?????
>>376337995
MMOWS
Massive Multiplayer Online Walking Simulators
Is like my progressive games, BUT MULTIPLAYER
>>376338354
Journey?
>>376338354
like pokemon go?
>>376338436
Not multiplayer enough
Also no story about how you are oppressed by the cis white male patriarchy
>>376338458
That requires people to go outside. Too ableist
>>376338354
Roblox?
massively multiplayer turn based first person roleplaying strategy survival sim
>>376340230
WITH ZOMBIES!
>>376338354
Minecraft was that
I was on a server once where everyone was nomadic and just kept walking until the server crashed from chunk overload
>>376340457
Now I'm mad!
i want mmorpgs back...
>>376337995
Fuck. I want to reveal the game I am making because it fits the description but it would be so easy to copy.
>>376338354
DayZ and H1Z1?
Literally walking simulators.
>>376337995
>Survival Horror games
When were these a big gaming genre?
And the mobage is currently the big genre at the moment. It's the Pokemon Go, Fire Emblem Heroes, Granblue Fantasy, and so on. They're the micro mobile games which have you play a bit every day, and which offer you to pay to get more collectables. Expect Fate/Grand Order to be the next big one, what with a story attached to the whole thing.
Homeless simulators where you're actually a homeless person that has to either go beg for food (to survive) or you fight other bums for their cash and food.
Games where you're in a medieval setting and the world functions somewhat like EVE Online, where you can contribute in some way to establishing dominion and civilization, can choose factions of different positions like vikings, laplanders, cavemen, picts, visigoths, franks, huns, etc.
But that's just me wishing for a game that will never exist.
>>376341135
Oh I meant Survival~xx games like Rust/DayZ/The Forest/Conan/other 300 other games
a cyberpunk art direction game, thatISN'T DRIVING WITH SHITTY SYNTHWAVE FUCK
>>376337995
eve online clones with different settings(location-wise)
>>376341394
that second one is a great idea but unfortunately will never work since it's basically Life is Feudal and that game didn't really go anywhere.
>>376337995good games
>>376337995
It's slow motion action rpg metroidvania now, or "Soulslike"
>>376341543
Oh, those zombie crafting games.
I'm not sure they were every really that popular, outside the 10-year-old kids who just wanted a free or dirt-cheap game to play on Steam. I can talk with people who regularly played MMOs, ASSFAGGOTS, and mobage games. I can't find people who regularly sat down to play DayZ or whatever other Minecraft zombie knockoff is currently popular.
>itt: people describe their dream games instead of actually trying to predict market trends
Popular genres are popular because of normies. So you have to imagine what the average worthless retard normie would want.
>>376342384
they were really popular among 15~20 year olds afaik, has all the genre they want mixed together I guess?
>>376337995
I predict VR versions of classic games like Mario with a first person view will be the future
>>376342465
Madden '18
Call of Duty 23
>>376342465
I'd like a multiplayer game like until dawn but all characters play at the same time and everyone's decisions all effect everyone's game...get it?
open world games
specifically multiplayer/co-op open worlds
FPSMOBA
Overwatch is massively successful and shitter devs will follow in its wake.
VR or competitive faggy casual FPS like overwatch
>>376342740
Aren't we already there with Paladins and Garbageborn
>>376342740
Whatever, Ryoko. You need to ditch Tenchi and just come visit me.
>>376342919
Battleborn came before Overwatch so its more like Overwatch copied it
>>376342587
I talked to my cousin at a family wedding
he said he was into games and I asked him what his dream game was, he said he would kill someone if Activision remade Black Ops 3 since it was such a masterpiece and it had been ages since it came out
>>>>>>>>>>
are people serious? I would have at least kind of related if he said MW1 or something, but I thought that shit came out 5 years ago or something
Early access open world survival.
>>376338675
You guys are far too passive aggressive these days. I miss the regular aggression.
>>376342919
Paladins is better
>>376340230
>>376340314
And Dante from the Devil May Cry™ series!
>>376343050
That's nice, Randy.
>>376343586
Its a fact son. Check the release dates
You know, I don't think there will be another "big" popular new genre. The vidya industry is bigger than its ever been, and playing vidya has been normalized than its ever been. So the market is diverse enough to support walking simulators, fps, mobas, etc.
However I think that if anyone can make a genuinely 10/10 mobile game, then the market will get pulled even more in that direction.
