The FPS genre peaked with boomer shooters and others around the 90's era, after realistic military shooters became the big thing the genre lost all sense of creativity, with only a few exceptions (mainly FEAR and Valve stuff).
There will never be another shooter as good as Blood
Only sports games I like are the few with a clear arcade-y/gamey influence that can't be replicated with actual sports, or the fewer with completely made up fantasy sports. Which in total I can count on only one hand which isn't good for the genre as a whole.
At least I get the appeal of racing games since you can't (or at least you shouldn't) do high-speed street races IRL.

Blood? Man, we will be lucky if we get a Duke Nukem-tier game that isn't absolute ass
Yeah, there's alot of indie games trying to harken back to the 90's but I don't think they will be as huge due to the major issues that come with that.
NBA Street Volume 2, NFL Blitz, NBA Jam, those was the days...

Only indie shooter I know which manages to capture that feel while also being well-known recently is Ultrakill. Which I still haven't played (need to get around to fixing that lol) but it looks raw as fuck.
