People of the community and devs are ultimately responsible for the success of the game. Putting up livestream on twitch, create gameplay videos with the game. I personally think that there is a great need for the players of Arena shooters to promote the genre heavily. But this won't solve the inherent issue of the game not garnering enough new bloods and may die out eventually. So there is no distinct personalities in the game, thus creating the impression that the game is dead.Įpic Games has a very cool way in engaging the community to build Unreal Tournament up again. There is not much live-streaming for such games. Counter Strike has good tactical aspect of the game other than just shooting. For example, Dark Souls has very good plot and unique approach with it making the game hard but very rewarding to those that beat it. A high skill ceiling game requires other aspect to go along with it to make it work. High skill ceiling is NOT a good selling point by all means. I personally think that while these points are valid, there are bigger issues than the ones listed here.Īrena FPS doesn't seems to have a well defined standard. Also, gamers who are very competitive are often drawn into Esport titles. Many observe that games are getting easier and more casual, due to Call of Duty's success, many young and new gamers turned away from the complex and competitive nature of Arena FPS. If new players keep dying, they'll eventually get bored and not play the game at all.ģ) Gamers' mindset and demands have changed: This happen quite often and will not be solved with matchmaking system due to very small amount of players to make the system work properly in the first place. The strong success of LoL and Dota has also drawn in young gamers who did not managed to get exposed to arena shooters.Ģ) Very high skill gap and rusty mechanics:ĭue to the small amount of players, seasoned players are often more skilled than new ones and can easily destroy new players whenever they are matched together. (Sequenced by most common response)ĬSGO hammered quite a few nails into the coffin due to its very strong Esports scene. I have collected a few arguments from other sites and people I know that still plays arena shooters and here is the lists. In fact, one study I find is that the game lacks appeal to new players, it seems that being free and not pay2win also doesn't seems to help the genre. The player counts on other Arena FPS is really low. However we should still keep an eye on it, but do expect the worst outcome. This may change with Doom as it just got released but many had voiced out that the multiplayer is terrible. Back in its prime, the arena shooters were a highly popular genre that has attracted the attention of many gamers. Unfortunately, the genre has stagnated and risk dying. Arena FPS is a genre that gave birth to FPS that we know today.
