genre on the downslope.

what do you think is a gametype that is failing to impress this gen? i think racing games are on the decline. burnout paradise is probably the best but i honestly think its more of an action game. games like formula one and forza are great but hardcore sim racers seem like a niche game now. rally games have always been that way. its a love hate thing. if i had to pick the best strait up racer? i couldnt tell you. maybe carbon? dont know. what do you all think? how about wipeout HD or mario kart?genre on the downslope.
well... you really cant improve the racing genre beyong a certain point, the same goes for sport games, i mean they are supposed to mimick real life, we will eventually reach a point where the only diference between games are cars, tracks in racing games and an update in the player roster in sports gamesgenre on the downslope.

If it weren't it wouldn't be hardcore. Racers are just fine and they will always be popular.People love to drive.
Forza sold over 3 million, Prologue had preorders of over a million alone..that tell you that sim racers are on a decline? :

Straight up adventure games. Good family games- The only company carrying the family gaming torch is Nintendo ='[.
Basically every genre outside the shooter genre has failed to impress.
There seems to be few enough action adventure/action RPGs this gen.

The Adventure genre is dying
JRPGS and Adventure titles IMO. You hardly see any new adventures announced any more besides Heavy Rain (PS3) and the DS titles. As for JRPGS they seem to be going downhill with the exception of a few titles like P3, Valkyrie Profile 2, Final Fantasy XII (Yes I said FFXII) and few other titles that don't come to mind at the moment.

Platformers, JRPGs, and Adventure games.

Up until this year the Fighting Genre was nearly extinct. Luckily there's going to be a resurgence of all these genres this year. :)

Gaming in general......
