There is a time when we arrive at the point where we are bored to shoot at bad guys or aliens or monsters; zombies; dinosaurs or anything; you name it.
Until now many developers think hard to create something new for the game play. For a time being First Shooter Player type of game is still dominant in the market and is still interesting for many game players. The use of guns to destroy enemy is still fine with most gamers; but yet producers still look for the new invention of type of weapons.
In the latest series of Guitar Hero that is Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock for example; we will find the weapon being used is a guitar. In this game, you can learn the way of beating your enemy with your guitar. I think this type is quite creative invention even though this can be still categorized as First Shooter Player type of game.
Some developers has revealed that in the future we will see the new type of game which we can still play as First Person, only this time no weapon or gun will be used. Our main concern in this new type of game is on the character which we are playing.
One good example for this kind of game is a racing game. You can choose a character and play it while in the same time you can develop this character into someone or something that you want.
You choose a car, pick up your machine, build your own engine, driving in style within your internet community or just get yourself into a car race. You can communicate with other player from around the world through email or hand phone if you like. You can meet babes or even make a date if you like, virtually or physically. Apparently, a game can no longer be separated from community in the future.
The more other examples that we could perhaps think of are fighting games and sport games; only in this new kind of game you will not focus on how to kick other people’s ass but on how to become the real fighter. You will be more concern on how to develop your character as a fighter. You will have to manage your practice schedule, food, rest, social life or even image for your supporter; and don’t forget on how you will manage your money.
We still don’t know about what happen to First Player Shooter and war games in the future. As we still are waiting for the new face of game I think we should at least be satisfied with the current one. Let’s just hope that those developers can invent something new and more interesting for the war games.
