Genre that has most improved?

[Ajinryu]

Well heres the question.....

Over the years which game genre do you think has improved the most during the next gen console period? I think it's Racing games cos look at what we've had over the past few years...

Burnout 1 & 2
Project Gotham 1 & 2
F-Zero GX
Mario Kart: DD
SSX 1, Tricky, and 3 (Racing elements in it)
1080 Avalanche

All these IMO are great games. And there may be a lot of other great racing games I haven't mentioned because there the pnly ones I've played. What about you?

Racing games. I never liked them until 3D, and they look great in the current gen.

[Yoshi]

Racing by far. Along with sports, they are the only games that actually improved when they went 3D.

Also I think RPGs should be considered. Nostalgia aside, a game like KOTOR is far better than Final Fantasy III. Also, there's the whole MMORPG, which while it still is working out the problems, a game like SWG or EQ2 is far better than the early entries like UO/EQ.

Rad Racer > Ridge Racer 1

[Videodrone]

I'm gonna go with FPS's. With advancement in technology, we final are able to get a true feeling of being in the games. Think Wolfenstein ---> Doom 3.

[Despair]

FPS and Racing. Both got improvements in ways of both gameplay and graphics.

This is tough...

I'd agree with racing games (Burnout 2 is really the first non-kart racing game that I truely loved) and RPGs -- But I'd like to add Adventure/Action games as to this as well.
I think this is the first generation were anyone has felt like games were truly a work of art. Ico, Prince of Persia and Wind Waker all spring to mind as games that go beyond being a play thing and more of an expersion of the creators behind it... especially Ico.

I agree. Ico is just like abstract art: fucking worthless.
