History of FPS games

Interesting quick journey through the development of FPS games over the last 30 years. Quite a lot of other influential games missing, but the main ones are there.

Brings back memories, especially Goldeneye! Shame the first Medal of Honour (PS1) is missing it was a cracker at the time.

Crysis 2

Doom 4

Duke Nukem Forever

No UT99 but UT2k3? What's he been smoking then?

Kosmiche · 22 Jan 2011 at 22:41

Wowzer, thats news to me

Yeah bit strange not to see MOHAA or CoD in there as they were the games that really kick-started the WW2 FPS genre (you could maybe make a case for RTCW I suppose).

What I find interesting are when you see the biggest leaps forward in that vid, IMO Doom and Far Cry are the biggest progressions over what came before.

good video i enjoyed it. things have come on a bit

ACE01 · 23 Jan 2011 at 01:13

Missing original UT and most certainly MOH:AA is a crime.

Great to see battlezone and goldeneye in there though!

same as all these kinda videos very subjective no early unreal . no cod 1 . quite a few videos that arnt in there.

doom i would say is the daddy.

arc@css · 23 Jan 2011 at 02:41

No F.E.A.R but then again I expect quite a few are missing. Nice to watch though.

arknor · 23 Jan 2011 at 02:54

Takes me back

when I had to go to my friends to play Doom and Quake as I wasn't allowed to play FPS back then

Epic nostalgia trip

FooAtari · 23 Jan 2011 at 11:46

Nice video. But any history of FPS that forgets about Deus Ex fails IMO

Retromatic · 23 Jan 2011 at 13:09

Remember playing Battlezone in the arcade early 80's

Delboy · 23 Jan 2011 at 13:20

I don't remember the graphics being so bad in some of those games! When I first saw the reflections in the mirrors in Duke Nukem I was like "omfg wow graphics" lol.
