AusGamers "There’s an old saying that goes something along the lines of ‘they don’t make them like they used to’. A blanket statement that can, for better or worse, be applied to anything in the ‘make them’ field - including games. For the first-person shooter it especially rings true, without being limited to all the advances made over the past few decades in the realm of graphics. Amid Evil from developer Indefatigable and publisher New Blood Interactive, available to play right now via Steam Early Access, is an old-school shooter with design that feels lifted from 1998.
Which in 2018, is an exhilarating breath of fresh air."
Here is a look at AMID EVIL 2021: Ray-Tracing Demo On A 3070 RTX NVIDIA GPU. New Blood has been adding Ray Tracing to the game over the last year and here is the result.
Some Video Game franchises have weapons that are imaginative, unconventional and downright bizarre. This is a good thing. Join us as we investigate nine of the best.
I'm surprised Ratchet & Clank wasn't on the list. Late Saint's Row games, with more imaginative weapons like the Shark gun and the armchair with guns would fit on a part two list as well
I'm not familiar with Ratchet and Clank (not my sort of game) but I'll add it to the list for part two along with Saint's Row. Thanks for the suggestions :-)
look up resistance fall of man from insomniac as well. there were some interesting weapons for that too
@phoenix
Resistance series 100%. Especially the secondary fires. Auger shields, Bullseye tags, Magnum detonator, Rossmore incindiary, then throw a Hedgehog for good measure. By the time I got to R3 they were onto Atomizers and Mutators. Armory speaks for itself.
Thank you to everyone for your excellent suggestions. They have all been added to the list for part two which should be published by the end of the month :-)
Gamepressure: "Let them call you a boomer or whatever, but playing these old-school shooters made today is as fun as it would be 30 years ago."
I CONCUR.
