I mean, the article specifically states that, as high-budget games, Doom 2016/Eternal don’t really fit into the category:

While they aren’t necessarily boomer shooters due to their higher production values, faster-paced first-person shooters like Titanfall 2, Doom Eternal, and Halo Infinite are earning more goodwill than the latest Call of Duty and Battlefield games, proving that a faster-paced and more fantastical FPS still appeals to mainstream audiences.

Boomer shooter isn't really about the generational boomers but that the games have a lot of "booms". It says it right at the top of the article. Boomers never even played video games. That era was all Gen X and old Millennials so it wouldn't even make sense that way.

Feels like you didn’t read the article and are just trying to snark about a point that noone is making. 🤷‍♂️

This is wild. I was at the first QuakeCon, when it was called #quakecon and we were playing the Quake 1 test (aka Qtest).

Huh. If it's running on a new engine, do you think John Romero could remaster Daikatana on the new engine?

That would be a massive undertaking. Daikatana is almost “broken by design”. Quake II simply needs new textures and RT

Stats are very important and can cause a playthrough to be very different. I can say more about it if you're interested.

Honestly, better to pirate the game because ZA/UM fucked over the original devs and now they don’t get any money from the game’s sales - and it ruined any potential for a sequel.

Here’s a Youtube vid on that drama.

Well it can't be any worse than what Activision and blizzard are shoveling at us. Can't wait to see something from the new guys.

So… could someone explain to me what makes this better than just using the Remote Play app on whatever device you want? That has existed for years and has always worked great.

Probably not much, especially if you already like the controller. I have a crap controller that I use with my phone, so it would probably be an upgrade over that... but even so, I’d rather just buy a better controller.

Yeah… Even then, it basically just uses a PS5 controller with a tablet in between it. If someone likes the controller here, they can use literally any other PS5 controller. They can’t even use the argument that it’s more portable when it’s a hefty 8" tablet lol. What a strange device…

Why couldn't this device have been the one to have "360" in the name? It would have worked (for once!).

"Why do they call it the PieceShyt360? Because you throw it away and it boomerangs right back to you!"

Seriously, though, how am I going to catch the Joker with this thing?

For reals: looks like it has bad ergonomics, the software (just stock Android?) looked to be performing poorly in that one video, it will be super overpriced probably, and we don't know how locked down it will be. If it is cheap and we have play store services, it might be an ok emulation device?
