A couple of months ago I opened up a thread here on the page called 'whats next?' and it was a pretty darn interesting discussion. Well it has been about 2 months and as always the face of gaming has changed considerably. Massive multiplayer online games seem to be all the rage with a good dozen or so in development now so a lot of companies are betting on that. Do you guys think that the current batch of FPS games in development (and it's a huge batch) will be the final batch? Will everyone move the direction of massive persistent worlds for multiplay?

Personally, I'm betting that we've got another generation of the current FPS style games, then we'll probably see some hybrids the generation after that which kind of mix the persistent universes with the static Q3/UT style gameplay. After that? Damn I dont know. I'm guessings it sure as hell will be exciting and addictive though. Care to take a guess?
