This doesn’t look bad, but I feel like bringing back Goldeneye style shooters is a bad idea. Like, I get it’s nostalgia and all but there’s a reason why that game is stuck and forgotten on N64, it just didn’t age well at all. It might’ve been good for it’s time and platform of choice, but I’d say that in retrospect it’s easily one of the weakest shooters from the 90s, especially in comparison to games like Quake, Unreal and Half-Life.
Why must everything be compared? If I pull out my N64 and Goldeneye and have a round of single player or multiplayer with mates, fun is still to be had. No one is sitting there thinking, this is shit compared to Quake. These games have their place in the hearts of many because of its gameplay and I for one welcome a new game that honours this era for what it was.
Old and out of the loop gamer here - used to love FPS games but quit playing them when Counterstrike was new.
What’s uh… what’s going on? I keep seeing trailers for new FPS games that look like they’re running the original Doom or Rise of the Triad engines. Somebody help me understand.
There’s been a resurgence of retro throwback shooters. The first one I noticed was with STRAFE, which released (to a rocky start) back in 2017. It’s a brilliant game now, mind you.

I’m sure I’m missing some great ones from this list.
3D Realms, today a publishing label by Embracer Group, focuses on retro games. Just like 10 or so years ago pixel art games had a resurgence, since about 5 years old school FPS games came back as well. This is both a path to reduce workload as well as a gameplay design choice.
3D Realms’ annual event, Realms Deep, is the biggest showcase for such games.
I played the demo when that released and I’m not sure why I didn’t like it. Graven has a really cool aesthetic but I just felt like it was too shallow.
To be specific, it’s build engine mechanics, with modern game ideas, in a cyberpunkish setting; so it’s got a little bit of all those things in it. It’s great!
You know what’s a good way to get people to ignore your posts and community? Spamming.
It’s not really my fault that 3D Realms released dozens of trailers at the same time because they have their Realms Deep event going. I got up (European time), watched the stream (skipping the weird talk show parts) and posted the selection of the trailers that I like.
Talk to 3D Realms if you prefer trailers being spread more apart.
I don’t. The entire stream recording is over 4 hours long, packed with trailers and the stupid talk show bits. Me posting 9 of those trailers is hardly spamming. Given that I commented on each trailer should be proof enough that I actually watched them.
All I remember about this game was how the media went nuts over how many times the word “fuck” was used in it. IIRC, it even had a dedicated “fuck” button!
Dusk is actually amazing and already has such a perfect atmosphere that the graphics just melt away. This feels so wrong to me, but I guess it might work better for some people.
