I have heard a lot of people call FPS’s shoot em ups to be honest. Although granted most of them tend to be older non-gamers referring to any type of game with a gun in it.
@37denzo No worries. As I said I never heard of a FPS called that before. Maybe it is an age thing, I can see people who grew up with consoles like Xbox or PS or even N64 calling FPS shoot 'em ups especially cause by that time shoot 'em ups like Gradius and such weren't as big unless you went to Arcades and even then.
I was just a bit confused is all.

I used to call FPS games shoot em ups when I was a kid. I don't know why, I guess I just wasn't exposed to actual shootem ups until ikaruga on GameCube. Maybe it's a British thing? They might have used the term in old British magazines or something.
There's also that Clive Owen film called shoot em up which I always thought was named after the misnomer for FPS games due to its subject matter being a bit similar to an FPS game.
@37denzo Im not sure if you are interested in playing or replaying older games but all of the old Doom games and Duke Nukem 3D are on the PS Store and are frequently discounted
Easily the best is Darius Burst Chronicle Saviours it's 3000 levels long!

Got to agree titanfall 2 is no.1 for me from the ps4 generation, it's biggest problem is its a bit short but even still its great fun and good story over all.

@themcnoisy Deus Ex and Bioshock wouldn't call into the "shoot em up" FPS category (if such a thing exists!). Arguably Half Life doesn't either I guess.
