Retro “Throwback” Shooters

[Clippy]

I noticed you have vertical mouse look on your play through @Clippy

Are you using zdoom or gldoom or something like that?

ZDOOM

I always hated that doom wouldn't allow you to look up or down

I don't think this offers much of an advantage

And I'm also playing with auto aim OFF

So when you see me miss I miss (and often) but when you other players miss the monsters still die :/

Reviving an old thread but since there's been some new retro style shooters coming out, I thought I'd update the thread @TheWorm

Wrath: Aeon of Ruin


HellBound


There's a few other ones in the making like:

Postal Brain Damaged


Scathe

 

[Tayski]

DoomBringer


And some more modern ones like:

Shadow Warrior 3

I saw an article that said N64 Turok and Turok 2 are coming to PS4 or PSN remastered. Never played since didn't have N64.

They've also been on steam for a few years now, really good remasters.

Just ordered a laptop with a 3070 in it. Can’t wait to use it to play games that look 20 years old.

Seriously, a lot of these Boomer Shooters look awesomely fun.

They are fun. I have Ion Fury and Project Warlock on my PS4/5. I had Project Warlock on my work laptop too, but it runs like ass because it’s on Unity engine, and my laptop has crummy integrated graphics, but it runs perfect on my PS4/5.

I really want to play Amid Evil but I don’t think it would even run on my laptop, it’s on Unreal Engine 4.

I enjoy mindless fps games alot. Or shooters in general. Esp really violent ones with awesome locales sick weapons and interesting enemies. Its got to have these factors to work.

Halo always sucked because 75% of the game was fighting little midgets.? Also alot of the time youd pick up a shitty pop gun they dropped that has 5 bullets in it


BOY THIS IS FUN WOO BOY SOME HIGH OCTANE ACTION HERE

RUN! ITS ONE OF THEM!

Meanwhile all the MEN were playing Gears of War where you battled hulking linebacker type reptilian hordes. This guy isnt even the Bork Laser of his race,they all look like that.

The Halo games have been banking on the nostalgia of people like me who were younger teenagers when Halo 1 came out. Back then on console, it was slim pickings when it came to fps games.

There were some cool characters, but I thought they should've just let the series end after Reach, or maybe even after Halo 3.

After playing 4, I do not care anymore. That was such garbage.
