Zero Denied

I'm surprised there wasn't any mention of GoldenEye 64 or Turok. But we get something from Markiplier...? Why?

I apologise for that.

I'm guessing those were included for people like JackFrags who can't handle greatness and return to their scrubby shooter.

What were some of your favorite moments with Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, etc years ago? :)

Back then we had stuff like the Flak Canon, Shock Rifle, Cerebral Bore, Laptop Gun, Injector, Farsight, etc. Why is it that now we just get standard pistols, shotguns, machine guns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles? Let's take Half-Life 2 for example. Taking place far into the future, you'd expect some crazy fun stuff. Instead it's just your standard load out of pistol, shotgun, SMG, Crossbow, assault rifle disguised as a alien gun, and a rocket launcher. Yes it has the gravity gun and bug bait but...well. Even if we do get a crazy weapon such as the BFG 9000, all the other guns in the game are basic stuff.

A shame how people think a game sucks because of how it looks.

Reboot vs reboot, the revival of very important first person shooters. Two series that defined the genre, and are some of the best shooters ever made. This will be about Doom 4 and The New Order.

Congrats.

All of Prey 2006's weapons are creative and not your standard afair.

Instead of Quakeworld, the remaster uses NetQuake. What's the reason for this?

You mean I can't download the new episode elsewhere? :(

Is the new expansion available online for use with source ports or do you have to get the remaster to play it?

Well with Quake 1 being re-released on consoles just recently, we might see a resurgence of the arena shooter to the mainstream.

So what source port was used for this release?

Well, you know what this means. Arena shooter fans rejoice! The genre's back! Well if many people play the multiplayer of course.

Nightdive again? Huh. So the Kex engine is at it again too I'm guessing.

So who handled the port this time and how is it?

How is it overrated? It's a lot of fun.

Speaking of Half-Life, it did play like an arena shooter, and people liked the multiplayer. It's still a mainstream game. Although people really play the games for their single player. Reboot Doom plays a ton like an arena shooter, but like Half-Life people play it and Eternal for the single player. Probably because the multiplayer in Doom 4 is more of a modern shooter, and Eternal lacks traditional deathmatch. Have those two games got a more old-school multiplayer mode that's like classic Doom and Quake, they would have probably popularised arena shooters and get more people into the genre.

Don't call them that. Unreal Tournament is better.

It essentially turns the plasma rifle into the pulse/link gun from Unreal Tournament. Very cool that id Software brought that alt fire to their game. I wonder what other UT references they put in this beast.

I'm referring to how the plasma rifle has the microwave beam as a secondary, with the primary still being plasma shots.

A real shame.

Was Fear revolutionary or evolutionary to begin with?

Doom isn't standard. It's awesome. As for Fear, yeah I think it's somewhat overrated. The AI people talk about isn't really "advanced," but is rather scripted. The Combine AI in Half-Life 2 is more advanced than Fear's, but Valve didn't take full advantage of it with how the devs handled the level design.
