The Thinking Man's FPS(tm)

Will tactical FPS ever make a return?

I'm not talking about clunky milsims or casual "tactic00l" cod clones. I'm talking about real tactical shooters where you have to use your brain.

Takedown Red Sabre was a massive flop, Ground Branch is in development hell, and all we have are pseudo/entry level tactical shooters like Insurgency or Siege, fucking pvp garbage. There have been some good 2D games like Frozen Synapse and Doorkickers.

All I want is a game similar to the Red Storm Entertainment classics, a campaign where you can play co-op and actually feel like an operator, where beating a mission without any casualties feels satisfying. I don't even care about graphics, I can tolerate indie pixel shit as long as you get the fundamentals of an R6/GR type game right.

Probably, but not in the same way as before.

Wait for Ready or Not. School shooting, child/adult human trafficking, child abuse etc, etc. If you think it's going to be shit, then you're fucked.

Hopefully 'Ready or Not' will deliver, but I doubt it. Not a single millisecond of actual gameplay has been shown so far.

ghost recon wildlands tbh

Oi stop it

Yeah, from what I can gather RoN is just gonna be another "cinematic experience".

Coop is dead among AAA titles for the most part. Reason being Developers can't make any advances in AI coding, so they substitute AI with enemy players and that fucks with certain genres.

It's even worse, they can't beat 90s AI because nowadays dev teams consist of hipsterish CS grads working for minimum wage.

While this is my favorite genre i actually doubt its gonna make a comeback.
Vidya is too much of a business today so games cater to the lowest common denominator to make as much money as possible.
Can't have games that are actually difficult and require thinking!
