Remember back when platformers and adventure games were the main craze and there was a new one like every week? I somewhat miss that, FPS is obviously the main fad now, but I can only wonder what the next big gaming fad will be. |

Platformers forever. I hate FPS games. That's why I still play games like Mario and Sonic. Although they've gone 3D, they're still platformers. More action/adventure, but platformers nonetheless. |

For some reason i suspect racing games, or possibly real-time strategy. |

Do you mean Good ol' Classic side-scrolling platformers? Or the stupid 3D ones. |

Maybe RPGs will get the spotlight they've always been up and down behind the main attraction. |

I will never get tired of platformers, they are the very best of video games. I wish there were more made nowadays, but there are at least a few great ones every generation. SNES period was the king of platforming however. |

That's precisely the reason I don't think they will get the spotlight. RPGs have always been just hovering in the background between the games nobody cares about and the main attraction. I don't see that changing. I think it will be a genre that nobody expects. One game is going to jump out and surprise everyone, then a load of other people will copy that game and then that'll be that

*shivers* There's also a possibility of.... casual games. First Nintendo and now Microsoft is trying to get casual gamers.... it's only a matter of time. |
