It's too high skill of a genre that requires zoomer reaction times, but only boomers want to play them. The genre is dead and buried.
>>736464357>nothing you can do about itfucking watch me bitch
>>736464357I can laugh at all those tryhards wasting their youth on a dead genre they can't enjoy by playing offline
>>736464643With a vocabulary like that I doubt you were even born when those games were being played.
>>736464530HUUH
why not simply make a single player FPS game that requires Arena FPS legacy skill for all those people who are totally really great at Arena FPS and would definitely buy a new game if it wouldn't be "dead on arrival"? Surely they exist, right?
>>736464773Doom eternal and ultrakill feel like that a lil bit
They'd be more alive if all these larping boomers who claim that they would totally play them actually played them.

>>736464357i wish i were dead
>>736467143you are
>>736464357The reason why no one wants to play them and instead plays either team shooters with "heros" or low TTK games are two reasons1: games with a really quick time to kill means anyone can easily get a kill. You just need to get the jump on someone and hit them (which is why auto aim has become stronger). This means the player feels good playing the game (they get that xp and a kill) which means they keep playing. That same player would feel bad playing arena game where you're not going to get that kill....even if you do it doesn't give the same hit due to no xp.Remember the devs just want you playing the game a lot and for a long time, that's it.2: those team shooters like marvel rivals...well you can blame everyone else on your team for you failings, you can blame the comp, you can blame basically anyone but yourself and player who sort of suck can end up being carried but give an excuse like (I was playing this sort of role etc etc). In an arena game that shit doesn't fly.
If the genre is dead, why do you think about it so much?
>>736467918There's no shorter TTK than telefragging
>>736467918FFA will let you get some kills pretty easily.
>>736467918Arena shooters only excel with 1 on 1 duels, if you play Death Match or TDM shit gets too chaotic for its own good and a lot of cool duels turn into some random stealing your kill at the last minute.
>>736464357Why did you let it die?
>>736469581>be a chud >alienate one audience >apologize for being a chud >push away the audience you attracted gee i wonder why
>>736469728what
>>736464773because thats just a boomer shooter. AFPS requires a smart opponent that has better strategy than you
>>736464357Imo the kids yearn for arena shooters…they just don’t know it…
>>736464773dudeultrakilllmao
>>736464643i'm having a blast with q1 paks and ut2k4 custom map botmatches
>>736464643ok zoom zoom here some subway bullshit for you

Nigs would probably bite on an arena FPS, but it'd have to be handled like a sports game and be as toxic and popular as CoD.
>>736469463It's a team mode, buddy. If i steal your kill it's still +1 to the team.
>>736464773>regular single player fps>boss battles are arena 1v1sscratch that just make another bajillion live service milslops
>>736464773There are tons of those games, they're all infested eith tranny audiences. Also AI always pales to playing arena with other players.
>>736471102holy fucking shit
>>736464357Arena Shooters died because team-based modes with loadouts proved to be more popular in multiplayer shooters as time went on. Nobody cares about 1v1s anymore outside of for the sake of smack talk or practice.It also really doesn't help that almost every attempt at making a new arena shooter amounts to just remaking some variation of Quake's multiplayer and calling it a day, which inevitably results in the few people interested just flocking back to Quake.
