Considering that a game like Pubg is popular, pretty much shows this. Once they start porting the game to consoles, it will likely keep trucking on despite being an unoriginal, unfinished shooter.
>>
>>388331969
That was four years ago

Now were entering a dark age where there is maybe 2 real big games and everyone else is trying to copy their formula.

What is happening now is what happened to 3rd person shooters after gears of war.

FPS games suck ass right now.

None of the guns fire accurately, there are arbitrary spray patterns, the weapons don't respond well at all, or the game is boiled down strategically to the point of having absolutely no depth.

Or the game is a rehashed version of previous successful titles that the strategy is so defined that you can't really alter from meta that's been established for years.

Or all three.

Shit fucking sucks.

Fps have always been good and in a golden age if you arent a shitter. You had games like css, quake, ut, goldeneye, etc, back in the day. Tf2, l4d, halo, cod, metroid prime, etc, in 2000s. Overwatch, pubgs, csgo, destiny, etc now a days.

Kick and scream all you want but there have always been a variety of fun and addictive fps on the market. Its honestly one of the most consistent genres out there and when one popular fps or style of fps starts to get stale a new one comes along and switches it up bringing more fun and new experiences.

I was genuinely looking forward to Lawbreakers. Looked like it'd have the gameplay style of Titanfall but more intense due both that you're a human only and the maps are tighter knit.

Nope. They just made an overwatch clone. Literally a soulless overwatch clone.

Not a single one of these are a golden age contender.

You know how when you see games like halo or fear or anything that is the first in a series and the start of something greater. That's a a golden age.

He'll I don't think it's even possible to call the age you live in golden.
>>
Yeaaah, no. For every OKish FPS game, there are dozen of really bad ones and many that fail to get a playerbase or dies out too quickly. I also like that they only posted FPS games that are more or less online-only and lacking a campaign, several of which are pretty garbage or mediocre.

I'd say the golden age of FPS games was between 1998 and about 2008, although the id FPS games in the early 90s were spectacular as well and paved the way for a lot of stuff.

Yes.

If everyone is equal most people won't play that game because they only have themselves to blame if they lose.

>play Overwatch
>play like shit

Same goes for loadouts.
People want them because everyone wants to have the feel that they are a special snowflake and better than everyone else.

Why do people like nu-DOOM?

It's not classic in any way.
It's a generic modern shooter which slaps some ''oldschool'' items into your face to give you the visual impression that you are playing an oldschool shooter. But the game itself is as casual and modern as things can get.

With so many amazing Doom and Quake mods and maps made you have several years worth of top notch FPS content to play through. And then there are mods that are not amazing, but still good, and are miles above whatever modern trite industry is shitting out.


The only first person game I enjoyed in the last 2 years was Prey, and even that's more of a System Shock-y action adventure than FPS.

Meh it's all become very boring tbqh... Seems to me devs are far more concerned about their games getting a lot of coverage on Twitch and Youtube than actually making interesting and actually new stuff... Plus the whole gambling shit with the cases and keys and microtransactions just made those shooters unappealing to me because of the kind of toxic crowd it tends to aggregate.

People have no idea how to make good level design in an FPS game anymore. People stopped trying on that front somewhere around Jedi Outcast.

I admit, there IS more variety in FPS than there has been since the 90s.
Between the Battlefields, CoDs, PUBGs, Titanfalls, Quakes, and Overwatches; they're all pretty varied.
Varied doesn't equal good though.

Golden age of first person shooters began with Doom and ended in 2005 with FEAR imo...

Everything after that got gradually shittier, with DLCs instead of expansions, Early Access instead of finished products and now micro transactions with cosmetics.

You really know you hit rock bottom when you sell people unfinished products and have to make a random drop system with micro transactions to keep people hooked to your games if it is to survive more than a couple of months...

>no way to punish camping

Literally every ultimate in Overwatch and has the express purpose of making the game more dynamic by breaking up camping (except the teleporter).

Rainbow Six Siege is an entire game built around giving one team tools for camping and the other team tools to break up camping.

Titanfall and Titanfall 2 break up camping with ridiculously powerful giant robots and giving points for going out and killing NPCs.

Doom solves camping the way old all the school FPS' did: powerups and a (relatively) long time-to-kill.

Literally the only modern FPS' with camping problems are Call of Casuals and Battleshit because those devs haven't updated their gameplay since the XBox released. They've got cutting edge season passes and loot crate stores though.

SS doesn't have scripted sequences and corridor levels

SS throws you into huge areas with shitloads of enemies and you unleash all kinds of weapons on the hordes.
That is the appeal of SS.

The appeal of nu-DOOM is nostalgia pandering in the way that the game throws old designs and ideas into your face without actually making use of anything.

It's like TFA Star Wars.

Oh come on now...

People in the early 00's, and I'm 29, played Quake 3, UT99, Half Life, TFC, CS, DOD, BF1942, OFP, Desert Combat, AVP2, MOHAA, Vietcong, Delta Force, SWAT3, SoF, Ghost Recon, Rogue Spear, Jedi Knight 2, Raven Shield, Hidden&Dangerous 2 ect.. with of course shit loads of mods I'm forgetting...

>SS doesn't have scripted sequences and corridor levels
First Encounter and BFE actually do have a decent amount of what you would consider corridor levels.
And while the game lacks the enemy numbers of SS, Doom makes up for it with enemies being more individually imposing with more interesting movement patterns, a lack of any hitscan whatsoever, and combat arenas that offer more vertical movement than Sam's. While I prefer TSE over Doom 2016, I had a great deal of fun with it.

Right now I feel like we are in the dark ages of video games. Almost every company now is shady money grabbing kikes that feature their games with lootboxes and preorder bonuses.

No. The only good shooters out right now are PUGB, Arma 3 and Overwatch.

We haven't had a good (see no jetpacks) COD in years and Halo died.

Its not as bad as the 90's with all those shit ass shooters but we aren't good like mid 2000's.

> the market today has something resembling variety.

Only on the surface.
The end product is the same shit.

Oldschool in the way of Unreal or Quake is not a thing today.
And there are no generic brown bloom anti.muslim-anti,russian shooters anymore. Instead of that everything is HEROES;SKILLS;CRATES

Battlefront has that.
Overwatch has that.
Battlefield and Call of Duty partly took those things in as well despite being massive figureheads of the industry who don't really need it..
Garbage like Battleborn, Quake Heroes or Lawbreakers also heavlily hug those things.

And Killing Floor which was its own niche went that as well with Killing Floor 2.

All of those will tell you that they are not copying Overwatch or anything else using crates/whatever but it is obvious that they do and there are plenty of people who are just sick of it.
There is a reason why heavily market garbage like Lawbreakers bomb hard.

The market is full - Full with this shit

The golden age of FPS was the late 90s, and the absolute torrential glut of mods that followed Half-Life.
Before that were a metric ton of Doom clones, on an array of different systems, but even public domain games reached nowhere near the extent and variety of Half-Life mods.

Let's see how this gaming cancer developed over time:

Warcraft III (The mother of the cancer) -> DOTA mod (The original sin) -> League of Legends (The big cancer from which all bad things spread) -> RTS as a genre dying for MOBA as the first consequence because why make RTS when you can make MOBA -> Valve gets the idea to put that system into shooters and starts with TF2 doing it -> From there on it spreads to other Valve games and while they are successfull they do not effect the overall market -> Overwatch successfully brings MOBA cancer into a different genre which is like AIDS moving from monkeys to humans -> That being a success leads to the death of shooters due to everyone copying that model

Funny really.
Not only did Blizzard kill MMOs with WoW - They also killed RTS and Shooters with Warcraft.

Maybe, but the abbreviation is more useful when typed compared to when spoken. I would be surprised to see First Person Shooter typed out at all.

As a massive fan and once an obsessive player of TFC, I agree. There was also Counter-Strike and Gunman Chronicles, which were ultimately given the full game treatment to varying degrees of success.
But there were also hundreds of mods for HL that weren't completed or released, maybe even thousands, because people were interested again and attempted it, but just didn't have the time to see it through.
Look at the myriad deathmatch maps that were made for vanilla HL; some basic, but a lot of them were in-depth projects for someone with home-made textures and sounds.
Sven-Coop is another one that resonated with players so much that it was brought back from the dead on Steam. And for once, Valve isn't charging a price for an old mod. Putting a price on TFC was the final nail for that game.
It was a simple time when if you made something people would play it because they were interested. It seems like modding communities today only exist to fix unfinished or poorly realised games.
Not talking about Garry's Mod, which has become it's own thing

Anyone complaining about the abilities in QC has never played it because anyone whos mildly decent at other iterations of quake will shit on someone new. The biggest issue is all the bugs and the dogshit netcode that results in direct rockets missing. Also most of the people who play cpma play champs at the moment because fresh meat.
