Instead I think you guys are more interested in more AAA titles that aren't necessarily FPS, which would create better diversity in the gaming community. It's not that there are too many FPS, it's that those are the games that tend to get heavy advertising and lots of press.
This is certainly pretty true, but yeah I'm tired of most big developers banking on FPS's to be big nowadays and this kind of goes back to one of my other complaints, too much modern warfare settings and things like that. It's so boring to me. Luckily I've got games like Prey 2, Deus Ex HR, etc coming out soon to feed my need, but indeed that's what I want more of. Kind of going back to your point earlier, stop going for realism and I'd just like to see sci-fi/fantasy blow up a little more again. Though, some people complain that's all FPS's were in the late 90's / early 2000's, but I'd certainly take in inflation in sci-fi over generic modern warfare.
