What ever happened to arena shooters? We delve into the rich history of this beloved gaming subgenre, how its survived over the years, and what arena shooters look like in 2022.
Devs stopped innovating on them.
Overwatch is the last innovation that has some of that vibe.
The Outerhaven writes: Did you ever think about why your favorite first-person shooters have an in-game announcer? The one that is screaming on the top of its virtual lungs when you're out there, fragging everyone in sight? Double Kill! Triple Kill! Mega Kill! I'm sure you're familiar with those and much more, but did you ever wonder where it all started?
My favorite is from UT2003/2004, "Holy Shit!" https://www.youtube.com/wat... Not the best quality but it has all the best phrases 😀 I played the shit out of UT2003/04, I always felt those were the real games with skill, along with Quake 3 of course. We need more games like that to make a come back no more hero shooters and battle royale shit. I can only imagine if FATAL1TY had the tech we have now back then with 360hz monitors, 4000hz keyboards, & 8000hz mice, he was already a legend then without any of that, he would certainly be on a whole 'nother level with them 🙃
Check out the Warframe X Unreal Tournament crossover bundle that will be handed out free for a limited time to Epic Games Store players.
I know it's not exactly the same but I used to play the (beep) out of this back in the day. LAN parties and online, even on the Dreamcast and PS2.
This and Quake 3 Arena were the bees knees until Counter Strike came out. Then it was all about CS.
This looks to be an interesting twist on a classic multiplayer game. And for FREE!!!!
Awesome, might just check this out today. UT is making some really great progress!
