There used to be a long period of time where a majority of the AAA releases consisted of nothing but the same kind of samey linear 5-hour long cover corridor-shooter, each with near identical gameplay whose only differences were some kind of gimmick or the setting and story. The latter ones tried to sell themselves entirely on the story like The Order: 1886 and Spec Ops: The Line, but most of them failed financially because the market was becoming completely oversaturated with these kind of games.
Nowadays, I barely see them in ads promoted everywhere or in hype charts, with the exception of games like TLoU2 and RDR2 which are sequels to games casuals lapped up like mad. It's as if casuals finally got tired of them entirely and AAA developers realized they couldn't follow that trend anymore. Nowadays you have the open-world sandbox meme instead, but even that well is starting to run dry after Ubisoft brutally milked it dead. The constant rise in AAA development costs has also made the positive influence of making the development of blatant clones (such as Agents of Mayhem and Battleborn) less profitable due to lower returns and lack in gameplay innovation, and the multiplayer market being practically untappable nowadays because of games like PUBG and Overwatch which people play only because everyone else does and streams, whereas any kind of modern cinematic singleplayer experience is expected to be much longer in playtime. Story-focused games are also only finding their audience and funding in the indie or AA market nowadays. Even in the indie scene do you not get the feeling anymore that almost everyone is going for the retro faux-2D platformer shit anymore.
Basically, it seems like even the AAA and indie markets are starting to become more diverse. :^)

I absolutely hated third-person shooters for a number of reasons, but the biggest has to be the shooting. The stupid camera was always hanging over your right shoulder, so you would NEVER hit what you were aiming for, especially if something was on the left side of the screen. More often than not, the player character would be shooting his gun directly as a wall or a piece of debris that's in the way instead of what you're aiming at.

I sweat the camera angle only exists to show off animations. It's never used functionally since you can't see shit behind you anyway and there's rarely any platforming that isn't completely automated.

Doesn't it have to do with the fact that every game copied RE4 for some reason? That's something I never quite understood when even Capcom used the "tried and true" camera angle with something like Lost Planet. The only games that seem to benefit from the "Over the shoulder" angle are titles that "Survival Horror" games.

The God of War reboot is going to be exactly that and I predict it's going to fail horribly as a result of everyone expecting a mindless button-masher because the title on the cover says 'God of War', but it actually being God of Walk.
That Hellblade game by Ninja Theory (from the makers of FUCK YOU) actually did quite well and managed to turn a sizeable profit because Ninja Theory is surprisingly adept at optimizing development costs and not wasting their budget on bloat and marketing. The game itself is ass but you should look at some of their development diaries to see what they did to improvise using a low budget to achieve the technical fidelity which would have cost a dozen times more for your usual big studio. Something to look at for the aspiring developers amongst us.

Fucking TaMeme. I can never forgive him for scribbling on a masterpiece of a series with crayons, calling the fans morons and then being so incompetent that Crapcom had to fly people over there to fix whatever the fuck these people were doing. But first and foremost, Crapcom is the target of my ire since they allowed this disaster to happen in the first place.
The list goes on but the more notable events were the media shifting the narrative to be about fans getting mad about the change of hair, and then they actually had a hired shill come to half/v/ that tried to talk shit about MGR:R right up until the release dates. It was pure fucking autism and his dedication was insane. I will never stop being angry about this.

>Are cinematic third-person cover shooters finally dead?
No. Uncharted 4 was just released not too long ago, God of War 4 is on the way, which may as well be the third person cover shooter equivalent of melee combat games, and normalfags lapped up Horizon Zero Dawn and Breath of the Wild, which can both function as a third person shooter to some degree if you squint your eyes and stretch the genre to accommodate these games. You already mentioned TLoU2 and RDR2, but I'll bet my left nutsack that Ubishit or EA or any other major publisher could shit out something similar (Watch Dogs 3; a new shitty Tom Clancy Metaru Gia ripoff; Hell, even another Nintendo Squids game) and people would eat it up.
In short, the answer is no, this genre is not dead. Your diatribe is less about third person shooters and more about the general trend that the internet has produced that is making cash grabs less profitable. This may be the silver lining, but the bad thing is that lazy cash grabs are still somewhat financially successful, and more importantly, they're being replaced by low quality memeshit that is filled with microtransactions and loot boxes and other garbage. It's been like this for quite some time now, though, so this is nothing new. Same shit, different gen.

i don't understand how you can put this two things in one sentence. PUBG is the glaring case of single man and a gamer with an idea and vision coming and tapping like 80% of shooters market for himself. Leaving AAA studios with all their resources to bite their elbows and developing shitty clones in a haste. But of course as the time passes the harder it becomes to achieve such successes. Because less and less new things are left in existence and more things becomes "already made".

Oldass GunZ and S4league did the whole third-person shooter well. Now many years later there are still no better online 3rd person shooter out there. WHY?
8d344f No.14216320
I think it's because there are a large number of mental invalids who love the Uncharted games but will ONLY play the Uncharted games. So, for a while studios were trying to tap into the Uncharted market, making clone games, and they all flopped because Uncharted fags will only play Uncharted. This is why The Last of Us 2 will do well despite it being just as shallow and boring as all similar games that failed. Because Uncharted mongoloids will only play a mindless awful corridor shooter if the main character is Nathan Jake or Joel Nathan Drake.
RDR is more of an open-world romp with lots of collectibles and progress bars, which is still a fairly popular genre.

PUBG's popularity is vastly overestimated because 90% of players are Chinese faggots who are infesting North American servers. When the government censorship finally kicks in and they all get locked into their own version on their own servers, the player base is going to plummet hard.
