I never played it before

 

[ZoolNL]

Rott looks bad, but still playable..

 

[N0S]

Phantom Fury looking sick. I never really digged the first one tho. I will check out Produes.

 

[Pakoe]

Excited for Prodeus as well but the highlight for me was def dis

HOLY SHIT. I got goosebumps off of this shit. This gave me evolution from Doom to Quake type of feels.
I'm down.

 

[N0S]

Its the Duke Nukem Forever we never got

 

[The Cockatrice]

I hope it doesn't just release in Early Access and then we have to wait 10 years for it like most boomer shooters on steam.

 

[Bragr]

Phantom Fury looks to go far beyond the first game, very excited.

Now we just need RTS games to get the retro boomer treatment.

 

[Uiki]

Its the Duke Nukem Forever we never got

It's the sequel to the dn3d 2 that we never got... it's only fair it's gonna be fury forever.

 

[Doczu]

Jesus that is hust the right amount of cheese, cringe, 80's action and power fantasy mixed together.
Please come out on the PS4

Yo N0S , why you triggered?

 

[N0S]

No cross gen. NO

 

[Doczu]

No cross gen. NO

Dude it's an indie/AA production, you want to gate me out of the fun cause i won't buy next gen or a better PC for this?

 

[Lux77]

Demo is available now for Wizordum. Its something like old Hexen games.

 

[Mobilemofo]

I want to see AXLAY remade for the ps5 using unreal engine 4. Would be amazing. One of the snes's best games.

 

[Pakoe]

I think this fits right in:



Allot of cool trailers.

 

[ChoosableOne]

They will change the name of this sub-genre to "early access fps" soon. There is hardly a single completed game lately. Everyone started to publish a concept demo and try to grab a piece of the pie. Some of them are leaving early access but reviews are not that good. They probably care about the first episode, which was on early access build, and then they don't try hard enough for the full version after they get the money. I think it is important that this approach comes to an end, in terms of the permanence of this sub-genre, which is my only choice as a single player fps.

Well i hate how long they stay there, but there are a lot of great to good games in early access and their devs just do it to secure fubds for further development. Which is good in my opinion.

But yeah, most do it for a shitty cash grab...

 

[Trazyn the Infinite]

No cross gen. NO

I can’t tell, are you making a joke or are you being serious?

I am with you that I want to see more proper next gen experiences, but this is literally a retro throwback FPS that doesn’t even need the power of a PS3 to run.

Ion Fury ran like shit on last gen.

 

[Trazyn the Infinite]

Ion Fury ran like shit on last gen.

And that wasn’t an issue with the hardware. That was an issue with the port. Ion Fury literally runs on old DOS PCs.

 

[Forsythia]

So Phantom Fury is the sequel to both Ion Fury AND Sin? Wow!!

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Does anyone know when Prodeus will unlock in the PS store?

It's there and i have have finally reached friday the 23 but it is still set as "announced".

Edit: There is a timer in the store. 8h and 38min from now.

 

[Krathoon]

Isn't Doom (2016) also technically a retro shooter?

That is more like an evolved shooter. They added finishing moves.

I don't pay for early access nor kickstarters. I know there are some good games in EA but I just prefer to wait until the product is done.

 

[drotahorror]

One I found out about recently, more melee oriented:

Haven't bought/played it yet but I'm lookin for a sale anytime.

Thanks. Didn't even know it existed. Looks great. Straight to the wishlist.

Prodeus is the shit!

 

[tommib]

Prodeus is the shit!

Good to hear, dude. There’s so many of these new retro-shooters that I lost track. This one goes to the top then.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Have to go to a wedding today when it drops.

Weddings are the worst, man. Why? Get some covid asap.

What does your timer say now? I can't even find it on the store from ps5, while on the app there is no info...

 

[TintoConCasera]

Have any of you cool motherfuckers tried HYPER DEMON already? Looks very cool, like Devil Daggers but on an acid trip.

• Groundbreaking spherical projection gives the player wide peripheral vision without pinching and shrinking the center of the screen like a traditional linear perspective, allowing fields of view up to 180 degrees.
• A unique red holographic “rear view” overlay gives the player a full 360 degree sensory awareness of threats.

 

[Futaleufu]

I've been playing Hedon Bloodrite. If you liked the stage designs of Hexen 2 give it a try.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

About 20 min. Use the search function to find it. However the time is just shown when I use a regular browser.

I did use the search function and it didn't show. Doesn't matter it's out soon, thank you for the answer!

 

[drotahorror]

If you end up getting it, make sure to look at the options. There are tons of them, from sprite models to 3d models, no visor overlay, auto sprint etc. It's worth checking out for sure.

 

[Apocryphon]

Prodeus is on Gamepass so if you have an Xbox be sure to check it out. It's less than 2gb.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Started Ion Fury today. It's not often that I pause the game to listen to the music.

Game's amazing so far and we also got Prodeus today! Couldn't be happier about the current state of the FPS genre.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Prodeus is the shit!

I second that!

 

[bender]

Cleared the first stage of Prodeus and I'm a little lukewarm. The visuals seem to lack cohesion though some of the effects are really nice (smoke) if not overused (blood splatter). I'm really not a fan of the UI or HUD. The weapons feel punchy but the 3-4 enemies presented so far a really uninteresting. I started on medium difficulty and nothing really packs much of a punch so I may bump up the difficulty a notch or two. I think my biggest issue is that the level itself doesn't have a sense of place. Maybe the first level is just a little flat though. I'll probably milk this game for achievements for AMEM.

 

[mansoor1980]

prodeus is dope , best use of unity i have seen yet , these guys should remaster quake 2

 

[01011001]

Prodeus makes a very strong first impression.

just as a small PSA, they mislabeled Look Acceleration in this game.
what the devs here call "Look Acceleration" is actually the reaction curve! so no need to turn that off completely.
I personally use 0.40, which vaguely resembles the reaction curve I use in Apex Legends.

the only issue on controller that I personally have with it is that the look sensitivity settings could be higher. I have it on 10.0 and it's a tad to slow for my tastes, but that's not a big issue.

I would recommend to reduce the Stick Dead Zone to 0 tho unless your controller has a worn out stick. even at 0 I feel a bit of a deadzone


al in all tho, yet another small indy dev getting the aiming in a shooter right, while Bungie, 343i and others can't be bothered to enter this decade of controller aiming yet



edit: small nitpick, your aim speed doesn't adjust when aiming down sights for secondary fire modes, which can be jarring since you are switching to a narrower FOV while still having your normal turn speed.

also the aim assist is crap and I turned that off immediately, ruined multiple shots by locking to the wrong enemy

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Some Prodeus shots. Looks really good in motion. Love it so far.

 

[N0S]

Yeah Prodeus is fucking awesome. I bought it even tho its on GP.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Have any of you cool motherfuckers tried HYPER DEMON already? Looks very cool, like Devil Daggers but on an acid trip.

WTF is this, can barely understand what’s going on or what is even the target

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

The problem with Prodeus is that it's almost to good.

Having a blast with the game.

 

[N0S]

Why the hell arent DUSK, AMID and Wrath still not on XBOX/PS

 

[TintoConCasera]

WTF is this, can barely understand what’s going on or what is even the target

Haha yeah, me neither, but I heard the game is really good so I wanted to ask around GAF in case someone has played it and can leave some feedback.

Reviews seem quite positive too. Apparently a run is like a few minutes long at most but some people have already put tons of hours into it, so I guess it must be fun.

Don't really know if the game qualifies for this thread tho, sorry if not.

 

[Apocryphon]

With games like Ion Fury, Amid Evil, Dusk, Prodeus, and Project Warlock II, the genre is is a really good place right now.

 

[The_Mike]

Have any of you cool motherfuckers tried HYPER DEMON already? Looks very cool, like Devil Daggers but on an acid trip.

It is one of the, if not the, worst games I've ever seen in my life.

Developers wondered how their game would look by burning every single component in their computer to see what the result would look like in motion.
