I don't mean "has only shitty games lately" or "has only niche freeware shit these days". I mean 100%, completely and utterly deader than disco. No games, no community, no nothing. Only memories and the graveyard.
the good game made by people who like games that doesn't take advantage of the consumer genre
Colton Evans
YES.
Brawlers are dead, unfortunately.
Jacob Diaz
I would say games like Metal Slug and beat 'em ups like Final Fight; also CRPGs but all of them pop up every once in a while.
What about DRM-Free Indie games.
Robert Allen
Aren't RTS dead by now?
Christopher Wright
Horror games are almost there.
Cameron Martin
The last expansion of Starcraft 2 got released recently
Henry Hernandez
FPS
Landon Anderson
Read it, faggot.
William Reed
There hasn't been an FPS game in years
Luis Allen
The only upcoming brawler / beat-'em-up that looks MILDLY interesting is Mother Russia Bleeds.
Even then, it's indie shit. Devolver Digital as publisher, though.
Luke Ortiz
...
Anthony Richardson
...
Charles Roberts
Non-SS13 BYOND games, text adventures, and 3D Chatrooms like Worlds.com or Cyber Oz City.
Samuel Ortiz
not completely dead and not confirmed total shit yet.
What about side scrolling games where you have to find items or they emphasis on exploring like Fantazy Zone or Athena.
Also what about games like Space Harrier or After Burner.
Now that I think again what about games like Virtua On or fighting robot games for that matter.
Nolan Price
Car combat, and I mean real car combat ala I76 or Twisted Metal, not top down indie mobile tier crap.
Gavin Morgan
There are recent text adventures on steam
Dominic Brown
Wave Racer
Easton Foster
What do you mean by horror? It was never a well-defined genre to begin with. Jump-scare simulators like Slender and FNAF are relatively simple to develop and guaranteed to get free publicity from face-cam tubers. They'll be around for a while.
Evan Watson
Good Games Best genre, RIP, 1984-2007

Also, I remember seeing some exclusive awards for games made in AGS, some of the winners even got on steam.
I guess is not dead, just niche.
Fuck, I just realized submachine series ended
Jeremiah Perez
Arcade RPG Like the Gauntlet series.
Andrew Fisher
plenty of games have sniper rifles
single player story driven flight sims seem to be pretty fucken scarce, also mecha.
Jayden Sanders
MMS=/=FPS
Justin Thomas
This doesn't really count as a genre but games with voxel tech that don't use it for autism simulators exclusively.
Are any of those actually decent? Also, there's still yearly competitions and the like with places like IFDB.
Asher Smith
Could you elaborate?
What does that stand for anyway?
Samuel Sanchez
True action adventure.
I mean, action adventure without RPG elements, no numbers, no levels, just tools and a couple of visual aids like visible damage.
I miss shadow of the colossus…
Luke Gutierrez
Modern Military Shooter

Oh, it's one of those impossible standards faggots. Do us all a favor and just end it
Landon Lee
Blue Estate is on rails and came out recently. Don't know if it's good or not though.
Logan Robinson
Not sure if one game is enough to say that a genre isn't dead. Are there any other known on rail shooters being developed?
Julian Evans
Also I lied, I played the new Time Crisis that came out and its ok, haven't beat it though.
Nathan Lee
Define Brawler.
Ethan Bell
Rougelikes.
Nobody makes Rougelikes anymore. They make "Rougelikes" or "Rougelike-likes."
Liam Bell
PSO-alikes
Kayden Rivera
I can't think of any games like the color of red. Are they like Madworld but red?
Jacob Carter
Nothing impossible about it when it's been done properly in the past.

Adam Ramirez
Whaaaaaaaat?! When did this happen?! Is it ever coming to consoles?.
Brody Turner

Ryan Morales
I don't think its actually possible for a "genre" to ever be totally dead. Since all it would take is one game to be made for that genre.
Parker Rodriguez
Classic text adventures.
David Taylor
Probably the only real answer listed here. No one would even dear try to make a text based adventure game, one that is text based based on input, or one that is entirely text based where there are no visuals.
There aren't really any communities for them since I don't think anyone "really" misses them, since trying to guess the right verb the programmer was a nightmare.
Still though, I think there are a few MUD mmos that still do that shit. Complete with perma death characters.
Eli Anderson
Disco never died, just became very niche Just like game genres Bad thread, OP
Juan Lee
Pretty sure Rougelikes are games in the style of Riana Rouge
Joseph Sullivan
Light gun games, being as the technology doesn't work on modern TVs.
Chase Campbell
3D platformers?
Easton Edwards
These kids can't handle something like Zork.
Kayden Williams
I think FMV games are still around.
Landon Wood
FMV games are absolutely dead.
This is what happens when you base your entire game on technological gimmicks.
Looking at you VR and Motion Controls. Make games with a good core or don't make them at all.
Charles Torres
I'd say SanctuaryRPG count as a text based adventure game. Came out a couple years ago, with a recent updated rerelease a year later. It's got ASCII visuals, but everything is text based.
Caleb Robinson
God, Mercenary Kings is shit. It tries to be a cross between Metal Slug and Metal Gear Solid (for the story cutscenes) and fails at both. It's grindy, it's repetitive, and it's boring. 0/10
Owen Williams
What about Her Story?
Logan Powell
Her story was shit but somehow won tons of awards at gdc this year, including 'most innovative', dispite using 20~ year old technology.
Aiden Evans
Platformers. I miss Crash Bandicoot.
Connor Gomez
The plastic instrument genre.
Charles Ross
theres plenty of platformers
it just they're all indie garbage now
Samuel Walker
A walking simulator is not a platformer.
Charles Sanchez
a new guitar hero came out last year with a new shitty guitar and rock band came back too
Alexander Bailey
...
Kayden Wilson
Holy shit, that's a blast to the past. Been collecting dust for far too long.
Barring Wave Race 64 and Blue Storm, have there even BEEN any jet ski games? (DoA Volleyball excluded). The last HydroThunder has to be like a decade old, too.
Lucas Miller
Does the Hydro Thunder game for Xbox 360 counts? It has some of the best water physics out of any game.
Angel Parker
Oh fuck, I think I played the demo for that. Good shit. But that was also six years ago, and should qualify as a "dead" genre for the OP, I'd think.
David Richardson
Fuckwits.
There are no dead genres. All game genres are made at least every few years.
Except.
Mech Sims.
Benjamin Phillips
MWO isn't THAT old and MAV just hit early access beta.
Kayden Roberts
Yes it would. So far I think this is the only answer that satisfies my question.
RIP water racers. I played the ever-loving shit out of hydrothunder on my dreamcast.
Zachary Walker
Sim games. Not meme "simulators" or physics demo games, but shit like this.
Brayden Smith
Cities skylines just came out recently. That covers what simcity used to at the very least.
Robert King
Pong clone?
Noah Reyes
...
Joshua Reyes
That's a real broad genre, user.
Underrail came out in December or something. Turn-based and Isometric.
Oliver Murphy
I hadn't seen MAV but fuck I looks like absolute shit. Graphics matter
Ethan Garcia
Speaking of sim games, i found a copy of sim coaster a week ago at a thrift store, is it any good?
Benjamin Parker
I only ever had Sim Tower, wikipedia has sparse information on it, it's known as Theme Park Inc to most of the world. No clue if it's good or not.
Aiden Watson
i think he means survival horror. where instead of jump scares. the game fucks with your mind.
Eli Brooks
It's a Chromehounds knockoff so you'll be able to make your own camoflauge to hide the ugly robots. The environments are a different story but you can only hope. I want to believe.
Juan Brown
Stealth games are dead. A number of shooters and RPGs have 'stealth' systems but that's about it.
Nolan Russell
Is it the one by Bullfrog? If yes then go for it.
Dominic Reyes

Well there are some porn games, like Corruption of Champions and RAGS games, but those games usually have buttons assigned to every action, such as Fight, Go South, Open Door, Pick up key, and so on.
Christian Sanchez
Cereal tie in advertisement?
Jayden Bell
If " a good video game" was a genre ot would be dead.
Isaiah Flores
It's roguelikes, and the genre is still alive but the problem is that there's barely any actual roguelike games at all. Also not a lot of people are autistic enough to play them so they move on to roguelites which is more alive but is also garbage.
Here's a simple way to think of it
Quality=/=Quantity
Levi Campbell
Text parser adventure games.
Adrian Brown
is it too much to expect from modern game developers a level design on the level of 20 years old games?
Jace Scott
Played at least two of those in the recent years. Flash games, admittedly, but still text parser games. One was called something along the lines of "Don't shit your pants", the other was about zombies.
Connor Long
You tried.
Cameron Kelly
Car crashing games
Angel Cook
Within the last year. It's pretty cool. Has the weapon switching of the previous one, terror bites, and also lets you switch what angle you take cover and shoot from using 2 floor pedals.
Julian Rodriguez
Submarine Simulators. After Ubioft rushed Silent Hunter V and kiilled their own series just to test their DRM nobody wanted to make another GOOD 3D submarine simulator.
Landon Hall
I will develop a console text adventure.
Someone make a story.
Michael Sanchez

Juan Lopez

Josiah Myers
I can only say this is completely true of two kinds of game: The FMV Adventure Game (like Tex Murphy), and the 2D Beat-em-up.
John Martinez
A Text Murphy game got released like two years ago, and Her Story got released like one year ago.
I am sure there are a lot of such games on Newgrounds
Jackson Walker
RTS
Christopher Morris
Didn't mean to quote
Connor Parker
As another user said ITT, the latest expansion of SC2 got released last year.
Jordan Nelson
6DOF shooters are pretty dead.
Ian Kelly
Mother Russia Bleeds is coming out soon. When the fuck is that supposed to be happening, anyway? Didn't they say Q2 2016?
Bentley Scott
I meant real RTS', not e-sports shit.
Oliver Thompson
Horror genre
FPS genre

Guro genre
Open world action adventure genre
Left to right 2d shooters genre
Cooper Robinson
You mean a side-scrolling beat 'em up?
Hunter Allen
There's also Dragon's Crown, and that is at least a 9/10
That's pretty recent, but they were dead for quite a long time and are now coming back just slightly.
More likely games like Osu will stay alive but for games that require expensive peripherals, those are pretty much dead compared to how popular they were about 10 years ago.
Noah Green
Isn't Dragon's Crown and River City Ransom both 2D beat-em ups?
Elijah Cook

Live action gun games like Mad Dog Mcree, totally dead surely.
Also VR games, soon. Just like 3d TV.
Sebastian Bailey
All 3DS picross games work perfectly in citra.
Bentley Brown
You're a retard, m8.
It's because these people don't play video games. It's not innovative. It's certainly neat for a puzzle game, but that's it, really.
Chex Quest is still one of my favorite wads.

Charles Reyes
How much of an introvert do you have to be for that?
Isaiah Edwards
I guess 3D PC sci-fi vehicle combat sims, including but not limited to mecha and hovercrafts
There one with the rights to the descent name I'd avoid entirely, upcoming you have sol contingency and overload (I think it's called) that may be good There's also a little known game called neonXSZ or something, have not played it though.
Ryan Kelly
The isometric action RPG is basically dead.
Adam Morris
Came here to say this. RIP Time Crisis, Virtua Cop, House of the Dead, CarnEvil. You were too good for this world.
Jayden Walker
I miss arcade racers with a blatant disregard for physics and reality. GRIP does a decent job with that itch, but it doesn't compare to the crazy bullshit the Thunder or Motorstorm series whipped out. Like driving through a flooded NYC or avoiding lava.
James Reyes
Car combat.
Grayson Diaz
Check out Riptide GP. It used to be a mobile game but got ported and is actually very decent
Ethan Rodriguez
Gas Guzzlers Extreme.
Kevin Rivera

Games like Myst/Riven are dead. Shmups are pretty close.
Dylan Taylor

Come to think of it, do any games come out now where you control a vehicle the whole time?
Landon Lee
I had high hopes for Vector Thrust, and the gameplay does have that Ace Combat feel, but the campaign isn't even half finished.
Brandon Price
Non-gookclick RTS games. Planetary Annihilation was a glimmer of hope that turned into a dismal disappointment.
Thomas Hughes
RaidersSphere4th exists, but I have no idea how good it is.
Bentley Fisher
Futuristic racing games.
Also, AA games. Everything is AAA or indie now. Nothing in between.
Connor Cooper
There's quite a few, actually. It's just not alive as it once was.
David Gutierrez
Nitronic Rush Distance
Michael Wright
Very very fast games.
example :Fzero.
Ian Kelly
Retro beat em up games.
I find modern beat em ups divert greatly from the original sense so I can't count those and to find ones that still use the old style have communities long dead.
Michael Walker
What I wouldn't give for a new Vigilante 8
Colton Hall
Rhythm games are now a really small niche, forced to obscurity and smartphone games.
Custom mech building/fighting as well.
Mason Murphy
Survival Horror is a dead genre. All we're getting are mislabeled Action Horror games like modern Resident Evil and shitty walking simulators claiming the same.
Cameron White
It wasn't total shit though. The story was pretty damn good. Crazier twist then most Ace Attorney games.
Violin Hero when?
David Taylor
Gundam Breaker 3 just game out
Evan Johnson
You just used one of the slowest games in the genre of really fast racing games to define a genre that is not dead.
Fast Racing Neo just came out this year. it's fast.
Anyway learn true speed faggot
Cooper Wright
man you made me happy for a whole 5 sec.
Jace Rogers

Jayden Sanchez
Ascii art, so technically. Freecities is text-based in the traditional sense, like playing Zork. Or if you're a degenerate, Liberal Crime Squad.
Alexander Sullivan
Single player squad based tactical FPS games were once a genre. The classic Rainbow Six's, the last two SWAT games, the first two Ghost Recons etc
Now every shitty team shooter slaps "tactical" on it and retards gobble it up.
People claim that multiplayer FPS's are the revival of the tactical FPS, they're not. Tactical FPS game either didn't have multiplayer or slapped it on as an afterthought.
Caleb Bennett
For 2D beat-em-ups, we have Double Dragon Neon. It's a remake, but it exists.

If you compare Netflix to regular TV, Netflix wins in every aspect. You can watch anything you want to watch at any time and is quite cheaper. YT is pretty much same thing but with more shitty videos but is at the same time free.
Now what would child or jew, that have no money to spend, watch? YT obviously, shitty LPs are still better than random cartoon and most likely your parent is occupying TV.
It was only matter of time TV starts being as popular as YT stars.
Joseph Hall
Thanks for remembering what the term dead actually means OP.
For that I am giving your thread a bump.
Carson Moore
What about first person dungeon crawler rpgs like bards tale? Does that kind of thing still exist?
Joshua Morris
Tycoon games.
Brandon Gonzalez

Jose Evans
Why is The Grinch shooting the ceiling?
Isaiah Torres
Fuck I miss Autoduel. Even though it was overtaken by the space sim genre (pretty much the same thing as long as it has an open world and IN SPAAAACE. But Autoduel was one of the first and will always have a special place in my heart. Anyway my point is, the gameplay between that and open world space sims is the same. In one you're driving a car about shooting things, making money and improving your vehicle. In the other you're doing all the same things with a spaceship. So what's there to call a different genre?
Jace Thomas
I miss shit like this.
Ian Collins
Privateer! that's what I was thinking of. Fucking awesome game for its time. I wish there were something to equal it even today that's not MMORPG.
Jordan Miller
...
Bentley Barnes
Aren't Tycoon games dead? They used to be the biggest genre for shovelware at one point, but now they seem desolate.
Matthew Ward
...
Jacob Hughes
Tycoon games still come out but like point and click games they stopped being made by AAA devs and instead are largely made by really small independent developers or made on such a shoestring budget nobody buys them.
It's more indicative of modern gaming as a whole since simulation and strategy games stopped making the big money, and companies started focusing solely on action games.
Josiah Johnson
Doom clones
Aaron Smith
Late 2012, and it plays very different from normal Tycoon games. Though I suppose there's no rigid definition for the genre. It's certainly not like a classic one, like Roller Coaster Tycoon, DinoPark Tycoon, or Zoo Tycoon.
Post some? I haven't seen any in years.
Zachary Moore
Are there any recent First-person dungeon crawlers for anything that's not a handheld?
Owen Hill
Define recent. Legend of Grimrock 2 came out within the past, what, 3 years?
Carter Brown
Why? There are some great first person dungeon crawlers on both Nintendo and Sony handhelds.
Gavin Sullivan
I just want something for PC or console man. There's only so much Etrian Odyssey games I can take.
Just search "Tyoon" in steam and you'll find a shitton of games released in just the last few years. It's not a dead genre by any stretch of the imagination.
And yes it's not a "classic' one mostly because it was made by an indie dev, most of the ones you've posted were made by AAA developers that actually had a budget and experience. As well as distribution and marketing. The Point and Click comparison I made is fairly apt because it used to be a genre that was similarly done by major studios that pretty much only gets done by small independent studios on a shoestring budget with no marketing.
This genre cold reborn with the VR. Just Stick a wiifit board under and you will detect the CG movement left/right and implement cover for it
Jack Bell
This
most games that have attempted this in recent memory were either garbage or had better re-releases. I remember all of the most recent Time Crisis games were pretty bad.
I remember the most recent House of the Dead game was decent but I honestly preferred the Typing of the Dead version.
After first person shooters got really popular and arcades pretty much entirely died out the genre itself felt really outdated. Like said it might come back with VR but who knows.
Ryan Jones
Fishing games!. These are my favorite ones, too bad the american audience couldn't appreciate these kind of games and therefore they died.
Tyler Hughes
gee I wonder why
Jaxson Bennett
In Big Ol' Bass 2 ypu can even catch dinosaurs.
Nolan Richardson
Arena FPS's are very close. Toxikk is over a year old, Reflex is nearing two years, and Unreal Tournament is still in development. That's all I can think of. You can include Disco Dodgeball if you're an asshole.
Brody Ross
Mecha has been on life support for years.
Not dead, but dying slowly
Josiah Collins
...
Andrew Parker
I just don't understand why. What's not to love about giant robots?
Levi Watson
ZoE has a mech/space-opera setting but it's a hack 'n' slash.
Carson Hall
The bullshit excuse would be to say if there's not enough view of the pilot, there's no human connection. Bullshit of course because of the amount of fucking FPSes out there and game where the hero is some faceless cunt in power armor.
Cooper Diaz
HBS is working on a battletech game, but I guess you mean games where you play as the pilot.
Jeremiah Morales
That is honest to God the most spot on description of him I have ever heard.
Mason Morgan
But that's completely wrong. Text adventures are going strong and getting more popular. They're just very niche. Check out hadean lands for a recent release
Jose Sanchez
Welp.
I'm ready for the great fire now.

It's hard being a cyberpunk fag. top-down doesn't fucking count, eat shit
can anyone recommend me comfy samurai games? Like, real quiet and mellow ones. Preferably winter.
Bentley Jones
way of the samurai *
Daniel Davis
I have it.
Tyler Edwards
...
Easton Ross
...
Aiden Jones
You can have samurai or you can have comfy, but you can't have both
The only decent samurai games I can think of will have you bathing in the blood of your enemies and will ram your asshole in with a naginata if you're not careful
Adrian Howard
Fine give me that.
And I swear to god if you give me revengeance
Isaiah Fisher
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance is the only one you need tho :^)
Honestly though, there aren't that many samurai games period, let alone good ones, which I think is criminal
The best I can think of are Way of the Samurai, Sword of the Samurai, Bushido Blade, and M&B Warband with the Gekokujo mod. I suppose Onimusha would count as well, but that's not quite what people have in mind when they go looking for samurai games.
Carter Perry
Oh, and also just remembered
Ryu ga Gotoku: Kenzan and Ryu ga Gotoku: Ishin. Those are actually pretty comfy now that I think about it.
The catch?

Private detective investigation on a world filled with monsters, they are among the humans and you are the peace keeper. So you have to make some case for the humans and some for the monster
Blake Nguyen
You playas some dude who can't discern fiction from reality and goes through his everyday while playing vidya on a handheld. You have to make choices that have an impact on the story and characters around you and you don't get to find out what was real and what wasn't until the end.
Nathan Allen
amnesia silent hill was in preparation but got dumped Litteraly any shooter unles you want your special specific genre that only you know about dipshit Dr Langdon is being made out an year yes and the other too is almost as pokemon No idea what's that Is the new hot cake shit you dumbass. Basically everyone is making it Witcher MGSV Skyrim FO4 But I bet you will deny those because "muh special type of game" Broforce Rocketbird
Robert Mitchell
3D platformers are so dead that people are itching for collectathons like Yooka Laylee just because they're kinda sorta close to platformers (just without much if any actual platforming).
Henry Ross
...
Christian Taylor
Yooka Laylee will be the next memetale with sonic tier and metric fucktons of autism. Holla Forums will love it and then they will hate it.
Parker Ross
I wouldn't call Compile Heart games AAA, they're not indie either.
Nathaniel Nelson
Crypt of the necrodancer is fairly new
Blake Perry
Well, Haven & Hearth and Wurm Online exist.
Zachary Moore
There is this really weird one coming out. Its called mother russia or something like that. It reminded me of hotline miami in the aesthetic.
Henry Gonzalez
They're not giant robots, they're giant toys.
Levi Williams
Shit man, you remember that one scene in Legend where Will Smith starts reciting lines from Shrek? It's like that.
Ethan Johnson
Yes and no. They are completely moved to mobile and became a cashgrab
Is anno counted as tycoon? If it is I would say that anno2055 could still be claimed
Christian Butler
Aye Japan still has small and middle sized game studios like Atlus, Falcom and Gust.
Nathan Collins
This Why the fuck can't they make a decent Twisted Metal.again?
An eternal early access game with little to no progress being shown doesn't really count
Ryan Gomez
Probably only FMV games like dragon's lair.
Adam Robinson
And some bigger studios willing to take chances on non-blockbuster projects. Some.
Benjamin Murphy
Nail on the head. I'm dying for something that isn't ironic no effort half game or Action Movie Simulator 2016.
Aaron Hughes
Not a full genre, but Games (especially Rhythm games) that use your body or physical exertion/exercise as control like DDR, etc. Outside of arcades this might be pretty dead, since most Rhythm Games now seem be touch on phones.
And stuff like Wii Fit seems to be on the way out along with motion controls, though they will likely revive if VR becomes big.
Cameron Bennett
funny thing is
mark isnt the cancer in this
its the editor

Ethan Brooks
Not sure if it counts as a "genre", but shareware/demoware
Jeremiah Torres
God games and stealth tames get hardly any releases outside of super niche indieshit.
Truly dead is unlikely though. Almost every genre has a small community left playing at least one game.
If you can call it a genre the 'community fps' is dying out quickly. I'd define this as an FPS game with dedicated servers in which the vast, vast majority of servers are run by small groups/clans and have a regular playerbase who play for fun with each other rather than competition. The rise of matchmaking and the fact all the kiddies are drifting towards it rather than joining a server and learning how to behave means servers like that will probably die off over the next decade. Modded content was also a big factor as it was what set apart one server from the next. Even games that do have mods nowadays require you to download them manually instead of auto-downloading when you join a server hosting, say, a custom map.
We've already seen the community feeling of CS get buttfucked by CS:GO's MM nonsense, for example. CSS was a terrible game in and of itself but people really didn't play it on the merits of its gameplay. TF2 took the same hit with F2P.

LCD display games. Nintendo had the Game & Watch, and loads of Chinese guys have their shitty LCD games and knockoffs. Most of the games on there are just the same ones over and over though.

This is one of the most fun arcade games I've ever seen. How did this never get ported to anything?

Adventure games like Spyro and Legacy of Kain. What gets made these days is just depressing

I know that feel. I keep looking for them, but they just aren't there.
I yearn for a huge world with quests and hard, traditional action.

Nigga that's the original, Escape from the Pit

They’re commonly called “blobbers.” Just this year, there’s StarCrawlers and Frayed Knights 2 coming out. From the last few years, there’s Lords of Xulima, Legend of Grimrock 1/2, Might & Magic X, Elminage: Gothic, Paper Sorcerer, Underworld, Cardhalia, Gods: Lands of Infinity… Not to mention heaps more from Japan on consoles, many of them free of weeb-ness.
Just like every other kind of RPG, after being essentially deceased for a decade or more, the Kikestarter renaissance spurred a tremendous incline in the number of them coming out now.
That reminds me of the Metroid Prime games and the N64 vaporware Robotech: Crystal Dreams, where looking toward a bright light source could cause “your” reflection to appear in the visor/canopy.

The face reflection also was in Toy Story 2 for PSX, surprisingly enough.

Games like Space Harrier is really dead As for mecha fighting games, there is Gundam Breaker 3
