With the new Doom game reportedly a full-blooded reboot that harks back to the glory days of the first-person shooter, lapsed fan Mark Butler argues that the entire genre could do with a reboot – and re-discover the imagination and variety of its past.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Fanatical has launched its new Explosive bundle, and this one can help you save big on a collection of Steam Deck-compatible titles.
The video game industry is already so creative, but one thing that can be improved is its handling of space.
After watching Scavengers Reign? The answer is unequivocally yes. I really want something out of left field but I think people are too afraid to shake things up.
It's what I love about Shadowrun and Black Mirror. Love, Death, and Robots proved that there's an audience for stuff that doesn't fit the mold.
Weird games in general we don't get enough of, we need more games like Katamari and Mr domino, things like that
I can't remember the last time I finished a first person shooter, always seem to get bored of the same old concepts. If ever a genre needs reinvigorating its this one.
The world needs a fun cartoony shooter, designed like a cartoon or comic, with depth.
It also needs a serious bright and colorful alien-based one.
These will revitalize the genre.
no it doesn't, everytime someone says this and they add something, they mess it all up for years and years, and freaking years, i.e halo 2, just sh** up and find a game series you like
rory that's why team fortress exists
I prefer the classic stuff. Again WW2.
The genre doesn't need a reboot it needs a break. Far too many FPS games getting made these days and it's just getting stale. FPS games are far more limited in what they can do due to the first person camera angle and being honest, most of them seem to water down the stories in favour of seen it all before set pieces which just don't have as much wow factor as they used to say back in MoH glory days or in the original COD.
