A Gamer's Manifesto...
2. Give us a genre of game we’ve never seen before. Something that’s not an FPS or an RPG or Madden NFL or…This manifesto is a humorous read for hard-core gamers and novices alike. I recommend a look.
Why isn’t a there a spy game where we actually get to be a real spy rather than a hallway-roving kill machine? You know, where we actually have to talk to contacts and extract information and tap phones and piece together clues, a game full of exotic locales and deception and backstabbing and subplots? A game where a gun is used as often as a real spy would use it (that is, almost never)?
The last game I produced (1998) got panned as an over-budgeted, out-dated flop (which it was — really). One of its gleaming accomplishments, though, was the fact that it delivered exactly what this question asked for: it was an Action/Adventure/FPS with in-depth character interaction and little need for firing weapons. If only the game had started off on a better foot.
