If you call yourself a boomer shooter fan, or just a FPS fan, go play some Ion Fury right now! I can't believe i've waited all those years because i thought i've done with that genre(single player fps games, especially old ones). Best game i've played recently. Added it's dlc to my wishlist immediately. It's basically Duke Nukem 3D with headshots and more.

Hold up a minute...
Shouldn't these games be called Gen X shooters?

Wow okay. I didn't realize you had your thread trademarked and copyrighted lmao (also I am unaware of what 'your thread' even is lol).
Feel free to contact a mod to close one or the other or merge them.

Honestly, they should be merged as they're basically the same.

Here's my thread
Retro shooter renaissance
Do you know that we're currently living in a retro shooter renaissance? I don't know if you are familiar with the term "throwback shooter". It's basically a shooter that mimmicks the old school gameplay and design formula. Often times, it's made in a prehistoric engine like Ion Fury for...

I find Dusk to be my favorite of the new retro FPS wave, it's super fast and super satisfying, feels like Quake, Doom, and Heretic spliced into a union.

I'm a bigger fan of retro shooters than you are! My dad could beat up your dad! etc etc
But in all seriousness though... who gives a fuck? I was part of a different forum eons ago where I had the same idea for a thread and made a nice collage of all retro shooters on the market at that time. If anything you should be glad there's more people like you on this board instead of trying to out-do someone and in turn gatekeep lol. If someone else comes along now and does the same thing then who are we to "demand they post in our threads because we were here first!". I'm actually amazed by your response.
Anyway have a nice day and I wish you lots of frames per second.

Thank you both for making these threads! More hype around these games is sorely needed.

Fare thee well

For OG Tom Clancy shooters out there, check out Microprose's Groundbranch. Early slow development, but currently it has all the right elements. I'm having fun playing it with friends.

You all did see the SELACO gameplay right? This is build engine...
Definitely at the top of my radar, even with that stupid purple blood.

GZDoom. There are actually quite a few projects on Steam that are on GZDoom:
Hedon, Brutal Fate, Relentless Frontier to name a few.
The engine is going places, itseems.

Fallen aces looks awesome. Condamned and XIII had a gangbang with Ken Silverman.
There's a demo available on steam

I'm retarded?
Boomer shooters are infamous for releasing in Early access and just staying there a lot of time. It's annoying af, they found a market and theyre just milking it even tho some games are amazing.
Anyway if you havet, I still ahvent either, you can try

Project Warlock and it's upcoming sequel. PW is a Wolf 3D clone, as in the levels are flat ones, secret rooms behind fake walls and the gunplay is x axis based. Free camera is optionsl, you can play the game totally without thr Y axis.

is a tough sell. The game is fantastic but it is really, REALLY abstract and not everyone will like the art style.

Actually, it is running on a modified Doom engine.
Speaking of Doom, someone from the community is putting this out. Doombringer (Quake engine):

The problem with a lot of these games is that they are uninspired janky trash. The only game I can give credit to is the Wrath game, it looks like something and inspired.

No but that looks cool. The game in question has almost a borderlands color pallette, very vivid. The character is dual-wielding magic spells

What time is it?
I can't understand the hype for Ion Fury. While it was great to be back in a build engine game and it was incredibly impressive how they pushed that engine to its' limits, I can't say much else impressed me by the game.
Dusk on the other hand is fucking amazing save for the bosses which don't come close to the quality of the rest of the game.

If anything you'll get a price increase with the full release according to the page. The game has been out over a year without a deep sale so I wouldn't expect it get much cheaper within the next few years. And there's a demo so you don't have to guess whether you will like it.
Project Warlock (edit: actually it does have free aim even tough the levels are flat). These should also fit the bill:

I'm all in for more Quake goodness, but would it be a lot toask for, say Arcane Dimensions? Pretty please?New levels added to the Quake remaster.
