Video Game genres that died down that should make a comeback!

, , 5

Video Game genres is not as diverse at it use to be.  Many genre of games died down because  they don’t sell anymore. You might see some random indie developer trying to revive the genre but didn’t catch steam.  The most popular genres theses days are  First person shooters, asymmetric multiplayer games, 3rd person shooters, Puzzle games, RPG and  sports. Fighting games , Arena Fighters, visual novels and  Hack N slash still have a decent fanbase. There are some game genres though that  Zoomers never knew existed. Platformers are not as popular as it use to be but at least kids knows who Mario is.  The zoomers most likely don’t know these game genres.

The latest game from Sam Barlow, the developer behind the critically acclaimed Her Story, will be Telling Lies. The title is set to be a spiritual successor to his previous game, though, it will not feature any of the same story or characters. While little is known about Telling Lies, Barlow has revealed that he is working with Annapurna Interactive to help produce it. According to the developer, this will allow the new title to keep the same interactive storytelling mechanics seen in Her Story but be significantly expanded in scope thanks to the new partnership. Telling Lies will feature the same mashup of gameplay and live-action video. However, it will focus on 3 or 4 main characters rather than just one. The game has also been described as a political thriller, meaning players will have to keep track of multiple plotlines and characters as they progress. Shooting is set to start at the end of 2017, although there is currently no release date.

Full motion video (FMV) games have never had a particularly good history. While they were somewhat popular during the early 90s, they never established themselves as a genre that had staying power or a mark of quality. They have begun to make something of a resurgence recently thanks to new technology allowing high quality footage to feature and Late Shift is the latest title to try its hand at FMV.

In a move that has surprised the entire industry, Night Trap is set to be released later this spring for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Releasing as a 25th Anniversary Edition, it will also get a physical edition for the PS4 thanks to Limited Run Games, which will come complete with three separate covers in homage to the different versions of the title that originally released in the early 90s. Developed to take advantage of the Sega-CD technology, Night Trap utilized full motion video to create a distinctive game that had video footage directly incorporated into it. Originally released in 1992, it created controversy the following year when it as removed from store shelves after the US Senate heard testimony on the effect of violent video games.  Despite this, it was later ported to a series of other platforms without any major changes.
