Did first person died on RPG's?

[newtmonkey]

There are plenty of great (or good) modernish first person RPGs:

- Grimoire (the Holy of Holies)
- The Bard's Tale IV Director's Cut (actually very decent)
- Swords & Sorcery - Underworld - Definitive Edition (amazing)
- Legends of Amberland (fine)
- Infinite Adventures (seems great, haven't played it extensively)
- Elminage Gothic (seems great, haven't played it extensively)
- Elminage Original (amazing)
- Operencia (decent)
- 7 Mages (decent)
- Aeon of Sands (decent)

If we include remakes...
- The Bard's Tale Trilogy (excellent remake)
- Realms of Arkania Blade of Destiny (really not bad if you put the jank aside)
- Realms of Arkania Star Trail (really not bad if you put the jank aside)

This is off the top of my head, and I'm sure there's more.

There are more FP rpg today than ever and most of them were developed by Indie game studios.

First, we need to define what is an... Okay, okay, nevermind.

Though seriously, there is no shortage of new first-person RPG's. The only issue is that many of them suck, are "Action RPG's" or JRPG anime abominations.

"Action RPG's"

 

[Ol' Willy]

I prefer to call them "Action games with stats"

blobbers died because they failed to learn from wiz8 and instead retread the same ground over and over

Action-RPGs = Action games with stats

Most RPGs are ARPGs now. Tough to do good melee combat in first person.

But you could do a good rpg in fp. They could do good shooter rpg too.

Agreed. But you forget that people generally don't make good things anymore.

People nowdays prefere third-person view because it's more... "immersive" (???). Or they are giant coomers.

Controlling a party in first-person is too much abstraction for some people
