I dunno man. I liked the game in 1999 because it was multiplayer and the weapons looked leagues better than those in Turok 3, but I honestly can’t see it working today. It’s too slow and cumbersome.

It probably would have been better to include it with the Turok 3 release to be more palatable, but I still think there is value in porting the game to modern platforms and PC, even if there isn't online multiplayer. I want to experience it, and I bet it would be faster to play with modern controls.

Including it with Turok 3 could have worked. That’s basically what I want them to do with Unreal Gold and UT99.

They’d probably have to remake some of the Rage Wars maps though. Make them bigger. My brother and I played the thing to death. I’d be in for the nostalgia

So what excites you these days then ?

Not boomer shooters.

Man, just a quick PSA if this is even the thread.

I've played through Ion Fury on PC with a controller three times now. Works beautifully through Steam, controls feel great, custom button mapping and all.

I love the game so I grabbed it on PS5 as well when I saw it on sale for $4.99.

In short, this port sucks imo. First of all, the game looks weird. There's something off with the brightness. The only option is to turn down Gamma and it doesn't help.

The real issue are the controls. Only two preset options and no way to adjust the shitty default aim accel. The main issue is that there is no way to remap the weapon toggle. On PC, I mapped weapon down to L1 and weapon up to R1 which works really well for me. On console it's mapped to up and down on the d-pad. The game requires constant weapon switching, and quickly.

I just wanted to get it for the convenience and to support a great game but was unpleasantly surprised.

Prodeus, System Shock remake, Trepang2, Void Bastards, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bat, and the Machine Games expansions for the original Quake.

Has anybody played SPRAWL yet?

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

 

[Eiknarf]

I cant wait till we are passed the boomer shooter phase and get to half-life and FEAR clones (like we did with Trepang). The forced pixelation is so tired at this point. Boomer shooters have run their course.

What I want is stuff like Robocop: Rogue City, Trepang, Atomic Heart, Stalker 2.

Wait
What are some examples of “boomer shooters”?

Just finished playing the demo. Looks really promising! Great fun, and another case of a polygonal boomer shooter that seems to take a lot of inspiration from Duke 3D in its visual design and overall theme (urban setting, alien monsters, interactive and destructible environments, wisecracking protag, etc.)

I really dig that urban theme of late-90s FPS games such as Kingpin, Sin, Blood 2, or Shogo so I'm really looking forward to this.

Finally a full game, hope it's good.

mouse and keyboard is better for fps games

 

[ChoosableOne]

Sadly I lost my interest in these games. I've experienced a lot of half-baked early access games, and my hype has faded. I will play Amid Evil and Turbo Overkill someday though.

 

[Montauk]

Still waiting to play Dusk on my Series X. I have it on PC but I really, really want to play it on a big TV in 4K.

Been a long, long time and still no Xbox release date.

I got it on Xbox and was super disappointed with it there too for the same reasons you mentioned.

How fucking hard is it to nail proper controller aiming? If youre going to charge consoles the same as PC, at lesst have the decency of putting out an fps without control issues! Game was $25

Yea I let a couple friends know to save them money. The port is hot garbage. I get it, PC masterrace console sux lol but I dont get putting out an inferior version with seemingly zero effort put into it if you're gonna do it at all.

I never touched it again and would seriously pissed if I had paid full price for that.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

I did not care for System Shock. The levels are mazes that make no architectural sense. I understand it was the best they could do in 1994. How fast videogames evolved: in just a few years we got Black Mesa!

 

[Guilty_AI]

Just beat Turbo Overkill and this has to be one of the best action games i've ever played. From level design, enemy design, style, visuals, everything is polished into perfection. Whatever issue i've had is minor and doesn't affect the game as a whole. It's also the kind of game that gets better the further you progress, which is rare in this genre.

Some bangers in the OST too:




I'd say it surpassed AC6 as my best action game from 2023

 

[mansoor1980]

framerate isnt looking hot here

 

[The Cockatrice]

Fellow boomer shooter enjoyers, did ya'll play Phantom Fury yet? I know everyone is dissing on it, but I honestly had no issues with it when I played the demo. Curious to see some gaf opinions seeing as Iron Fury was awesome and i intend on replaying it.

 

[TintoConCasera]

There's just too many games, fuck. Still have to play through both Ion Fury's and Amid Evil's DLCs, Wrath looks pretty cool too, and I haven't even touched Sigil II nor Eviternity II wads yet.

I also wanto to play Unreal. Tried it as a kid but it didn't grab me, maybe now it does.

seeing as Iron Fury was awesome and i intend on replaying it.

It's not the same devs, better to avoid comparisons.

I saw some demo footage and it sure looked raw as hell. No feedback and the dumbest enemies ever put in a videogame.

Glad to read you enjoyed it tho, maybe they really polished it for the final release.

 

[The Cockatrice]

maybe they really polished it for the final release

I heard they didnt. I know its not the same devs but I still want to play both one after the other.

Its on mixed right now and these devs do have a shitty history with their games, but sometimes ppl can be a bit too rough.

I think you are being too optimistic here.

And yeah, their track record isn't the best by any means. If I were you, I'd give it some time in case they end up patching it here and there. Unless you are really itching to play it right now ofc.

Or maybe just replay Ion Fury instead lol. Do you have the DLC Aftershock? I heard they added a sort of remix of the original campaign, with new enemy placements and such. I intend to replay it before tackling on the DLC because of that.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Do you have the DLC Aftershock?

Yeah I bought it, havent played it yet but will do so. I'll wait for a huge sale/more patches on PF I guess.

Game is decent IMO. It got shit on because they expected it to be another Doom Clone. It's actually a homage to the Half-life style of games. I enjoyed my time with it. It does have it's flaws with some stuck in wall bugs or the Flashlight being mapped to the weapon wheel button.

It was more a time waster while I wait for the big game I'm waiting for in Selaco.

They should of let Phantom be polished more for at least another 6 months IMO.

Now that Microsoft owns everything they could add the Hexen II expansion and Heretic 2, both previously owned by Activision

Remember after the activision deal I thought we might get hexen/quake remasters, new games.
