Quake killed the adventure genre. After that, the market was doomed to revolve around FPSs.
[QUOTE=''-hells-'']ya but those games are yet to come.Where are the adventure games I want them NOW.Bring the golden days of mist back I say ,I dont want more f***in shooters :cry:[/QUOTE]The market is oversaturated with shooters because they're highly played both by hardcore and casual gamers. However (IMO) there only needs to be one truly great Adventure game and people will forget about shooters for a while. Think about the reason Killzone 2 gets hype while Heavy Rain never did. Casual gamers said ''How can we hype it when we know nothing about it?'' They're noobs to the genre, that's all. Something needs to introduce them.Having said that, the fact that Killzone 2 is receiving better hype than Heavy Rain is testimonial to how dominant casual gamers are.

Any game that isn't FPS, contain guns, or doesn't have explosions get bashed ENDLESSLY. The FPS playing casual is now the main audience for gaming. ANd there are now so many of them that they have convinced themselves they must be ''teh hardcore'' and ''teh real gamarz!!'' Meanwhile, because of them, great original games get ignored, while every single half-arsed FPS that comes out is a huge seller.

And those so called ''hardcore gamers'' are really just casuals who mostly started gaming one or two generations ago.
uncharted is pretty close

Gamers like that are just killing everything I loved about gaming.
I would mention Mettroid Prime, but reading your sig I guess you don't have a Wii.

The third game had some damning environmental puzzles in it.[QUOTE=''bigLLL'']uncharted is pretty close[/QUOTE]Is it? I haven't played it. It looks like Tomb Raider to me.

Any game that's high polished, has cool explosions, shiny graphix, and lots of blood gets extremely high reviews and sells millions. Whereas games like Phychonauts get ignored. It's completely insane.
All the games I play feel adventurous to me.

2009 seems to be good for adventure games. The ones I am excited about is Vampyre Rain , Mata Hari (from creators of Fate of atlantis) and Gray Matter (from creators of Gabriel Kinghts).
