Default [TR]Fatal!ty Says No Decent New FPS's.

Quote:
Pro gamer Johnathan ‘Fatal1ty’ Wendel has confessed that the main reason he has stepped away from competition is that there just isn’t a game that appeals to him at the moment.

Wendel – perhaps the best known gamer and a 12 times world champion – told TechRadar that, although he is playing games for fun at the moment, he doesn’t feel that any of the current crop of titles allows him to showcase his range of skills

“Right now I’m waiting for the right tournament and the right game to come back and play," Fatal1ty told TechRadar at the launch of Creative's Xfi Titanium Fatal1ty range.

“I don’t think there are any games that are right for me, right now. To want to jump back in competitively I need the right game and I don’t think that game is there.

Basically he's just calling out to developers to say "Hey! Let me slap my name and mugg on your game box!"

Although i think he is a fake.......well he can't be that much of a fake to be 12 times champion.

But he does have a good point, there are no really decent games out at the moment that i am addicted to. Hell, i can't remember the last time a played a game on my PC.

While I don't mean to say that Fatal1ty is the voice of the gamers in any way, he's got a point. From what I've played, COD4 is fun but not meant to be competitive, UT3 was nerfed for the consoles, and Crysis was lol.

Translated, no decent FPSes for competitive gaming.

Who cares? They're all the same. Go play Quake 3. Pro gamers never like new things, just look at the reaction to CS:S.

I love TF2 but the ease of introduction and the 'critical hits' makes it useless for competitive gaming. This is what he means.

The real reason he doesn't play competitions anymore is because he is making so much money off creative and other companies which use his name.

He simply doesn't need to take winning prizes.

Or maybe he isn't the best anymore. And if people realise this if he starts losing he can say bye bye to his franchise
