What about the Toys-to-Life genre? You know, games where you can use physical figures to interact with the games in various creative ways? Some prime examples being Skylanders, Amiibos, Disney Infinity, Lego Dimensions, Starlink, and Lightseekers!
I would not consider Star Fox in the same genre as Time Crisis or House of the Dead. You can say they are both 'rail shooters' but the latter are light gun games where the appeal is using something that resembles a firearm to play rather than a controller while Star Fox isn't defined by the fact that you are on a predetermined path or 'rail'. And yes, I know you can play light gun games with a controller but you can also play earlier Guitar Hero games with one too and yet that genre is still defined by it's unique peripherals.
One format I would have mentioned is the "Maze Game". There was Pac-Man, Lady Bug, Mouse Trap, KC Munchkin, Jawbreaker, Shark Attack, everyone who can afford to hire a disgruntled Atari employee could have their own maze game. Atari was suing to keep them off the home market.
Biggest reason I didn't put that on there is because mario and sonic still get games that are pretty successful. There of course are indie games but those two series run the genre
Hey, isn't that a bit too harsh? I'm sure there are people who would love to see a new Guitar Hero game, or a Twisted Metal game. And what do you mean rail-shooters are "dead" even though are there are still everywhere in places like Dave and Busters. Plus, there are good product tie-ins like the Spider-Man 2 movie game.
Trombone Champ is a motion control and kinda an instrument rhythm game I guess?? they dont have an official trombone shaped controller gizmo but its almost there
i mean it's not really dead, but really rare to find nowadays Point and Click games gettin released. Point and Click to this day is my favourite genre.
But that's a racing game with combat. To me it's quite different from games like Twisted Metal where is was just arena style combat which is the genre that can be considered dead.
@@markula_4040 yeah unfortunately its not quite the same thing, their battle mode is unfortunately lacking anything good like the games more in line with that sytle
Rhythm games are still kind of alive but in free2play form called Clone Hero. The community is pretty big and same instruments work on PC. The biggest problem for me wasn't the price of the controllers, but poor quality and them breaking all the time. And then of course dlc's being too costly. But on the other hand that's the type of dlc you can justify the price because publishers have to pay royalties/license fees to music companies which we all know are extremely greedy. And i think this was the main reason why there were so many of those games. They had to make more money than from usual games, just because of extreme license fees and most likely timed contracts. But how dare you not to mention vigilante 8 when talking about vehicle combat games? 😂it had impressive physics. Great video man, keep it up!
Oh trust me I've heard about clone hero, I'm glad that community is so alive still, might have been worth mentioning in the video tbh. Thanks for the support :)
@@ethansprague2005I’d also say games like Groove Coaster, Muse Dash, Taiko No Tatsujin, and Beat Saber have brought music games back to life with new gameplay features (also Spin Rhythm XD) and more songs and ways to play them. I wouldn’t call them a dead genre but they technically aren’t as bigger as they were 14 years ago
Hello Brother, you seem to be new to RUclips, like myself. So I wanted to help a fellow RUclipsr out and give some constructive critisism for your video. The lenght and subject matter are well chosen. Also I think the editing quite well done. You know what you're doing and you have a solid foundation. When it comes to your voice, sounding more enthusiastic would improve your videos even more and some slight over pronunciation also helps in being comprehensible when using audio only. I would also recommend you to speed up your speech, in editing, by 2-3%. The flow will improve. I've had the same problem with my videos in the beginning. I hope I could help. Have a great rest of your day.
That's very helpful man, I'm working on my voice over quality to sound more alive. I appreciate the compliments and the time you took to make this comment
Dragon's Lair and Space Ace, two animated games created by legendary Don Bluth. I wish we had more of his animated games around today. P.S. Should've added Tell Tale Games to this list.
I would have loved to see another rail shooter come out or another twisted metal game cause in most cases what really kills the game isn’t so much graphics it’s designers who don’t stick to what made the series great and fans just lost interest.
I just wanted to say that I've always used a normal controller when playing Guitar Hero / clone hero, I did as a kid because my brother would use the actual guitar controller and now I can't use anything other than a normal controller 😂
@@ethansprague2005 I just personally feel that my fingers Place more naturally on the shoulder buttons and the X button, luckily clone hero offers a few assist modes to help with rapid presses and some of the harder to hit notes.
I'm glad that works for you, maybe I should try it one day Also to clarify, my original comment in the video was more to emphasize the point of the games being made around the idea of using the guitar controller which is part of why it ended up dying off, not to actually look down on anyone playing with a control
@@ethansprague2005 I know, I wasn't taking it personally, I just wanted to say it because hardly anyone plays with a regular controller because of the difficulty curve, I had no idea about it when I was a kid because I just always used a normal controller and never questioned it
Oh yeah for sure, I can't imagine how hard it'd be to play something like ttfaf on a normal controller, I barely passed that song in expert once with guitar controller
Buddy, did you fall asleep in that first sentence? "Video games have evolfd allah ovethcpdcdurngfhlfnrnd...". It may sound cynical, but you really may consider working on your voice emission, because the topics are interesting, but you just sound bored or tired 😅
I appreciate the feedback, hope my next few videos are better. My next one was recorded a bit ago so it might have the same issue, but the one after will be better

@@Supercatandrewman Would Lottle Big Planet count?
No, toys to life is when you have the physical toys that can be used in game. Little big planet is an amazing game though

Good call, I'm gonna make a full video on that genre
I would also say that mascot platformers had a big decline over the years
Biggest reason I didn't put that on there is because mario and sonic still get games that are pretty successful. There of course are indie games but those two series run the genre
@@ethansprague2005
Otherwise it comes and goes in bursts.

How much NyQuil did you take before recording this?
I think people have finally discovered that gimmicks don't work
The new gimmick is battle passes
Agreed but id call those more of a scam
I would’ve personally added the additions of ‘Party’ games and ‘Skateboarding’ games, but otherwise a solid list
I might make an individual video on skateboarding games. Party games is a good call too, should've added that one for sure
Mario Party is still popular
isn't smash a "party game"?
Jackbox is also still very popular
With session, skaterXL, tony hawk remaster and new EA skate coming up, i don't think they're dead. But they were dead for a while.
Trombone Champ is a motion control and kinda an instrument rhythm game I guess?? they dont have an official trombone shaped controller gizmo but its almost there
i mean it's not really dead, but really rare to find nowadays Point and Click games gettin released. Point and Click to this day is my favourite genre.
The only vehicle combat game i see still around is Mario Kart
That's definitely the only one that has prominence still
But that's a racing game with combat. To me it's quite different from games like Twisted Metal where is was just arena style combat which is the genre that can be considered dead.
@@markula_4040 yeah unfortunately its not quite the same thing, their battle mode is unfortunately lacking anything good like the games more in line with that sytle
i would also say rocket league but its less arena combat and more of a sports game
I miss couch co-op, great video!
You and me both man

This is a fun subject :)
Nice video man. Would love to see longer ones.
Thanks, and don't worry, you'll get your longer videos soon 😉
I'd love to see the return of FMV games
Battle tanks was another vehicle combat game. I knew of because of that game grump's video.

House of the dead 2 scares the shit out of me when I was a kid lol ❤
hope you make more long form content, otherwise i really enjoyed the vid
Edit: absolutely agree with the other guy that you'll blow up someday
I appreciate it a lot :)
Rail shooters are the shit!
Time Crisis and HOTD!
how to say you don't play games
Remember Guitar Hero and rock band.
I know vehicle combat. Games, but the only one I remember was twisted metal.
FMV is still alive and has a cult following.
Absolutely, just not nearly the mainstream presence or releases that it had at its peak
Miss me some Jet Moto too man.
Dragon's Lair and Space Ace, two animated games created by legendary Don Bluth. I wish we had more of his animated games around today.
P.S. Should've added Tell Tale Games to this list.
I'd say don bluth is already retired
@@ajxx9987 You're probably right.
if you at least knew the difference between a rail shooter and a lightgun game...
I would have loved to see another rail shooter come out or another twisted metal game cause in most cases what really kills the game isn’t so much graphics it’s designers who don’t stick to what made the series great and fans just lost interest.
I think that another twisted metal would succeed if they made a modernized take on the series, but without throwing out the core fun of the game.
Battleship game that was like Call of Duty. I'm kind of interested in the cause. I like that movie from Michael Bay.
You’re going to blow up on RUclips one day, keep it up!
Thanks so much for that :)
The destroyed God of war's Kratos, by making him a pu see 😂
What about bubble bobble like game that genre use to be popular during 90 and 2000 Joe and Mac return and tumblepop are my favorites game
Ps1 had good movie tie in games
I got way less experience with the ps1 than the other ones, but I know that the ps1 had a lot of the Disney tie in games and the star wars ones
@@ethansprague2005 Monsters Inc and Small Soldiers were some good Movie games.
(N64 had better Star Wars games than PS1)
True, I forgot about small soldiers video game
I just wanted to say that I've always used a normal controller when playing Guitar Hero / clone hero, I did as a kid because my brother would use the actual guitar controller and now I can't use anything other than a normal controller 😂

Don't sign the EU Petition.
It's. Worthless..
Great Vid Btw..
