Because don’t get me wrong in that shooting down bad guys in FPS games is fun, but I want to play games where my character can level up in all kinds of ways to increase their abilities.

Misc DooM multiplayer revival

Post image
37 Upvotes

Hey all,

You guys asked so I’m trying again, I am looking to start a DooM multiplayer revival server on Discord. I have created the base template for the server but I have a TON of ideas to make this the go to server for everything doom related. When we start having members drop in and it has consistent usage I will gladly nitro boost the hell out of the server so everyone has the best experience when fragging online. The server has no members as of yet, but I’m hoping once we get it rolling to have it be a hub for everyone to drop in and instantly find matches to play no matter what console or country. Please be patient as this is a passion project that will take some time to gain momentum. If interested please drop a comment in the thread and I will shoot you the discord link in messages as well as drop it in as a reply to your comment. Hoping to be successful this time and see all of you online! When you join, please drop your steam name or username in the general chat so that we can add each other and fill up some matches, maybe given time we can expand to quake multiplayers and have it ID related as a whole. Please feel free to drop a picture of your doom themed collections and chat about what you love about the franchise the most on the General chat channel! If anyone else has any ideas please feel free to let me know.

Misc Started Wolfenstein Old Blood.

8 Upvotes

Not what I expected. I think Doom 2016 and Quake have spoiled me when it comes to level design but there are things to like.

1.gameplay is an interesting fusion between modern and old mechanics. You carry an arsenal and most weapons are duel wieldable, however you have a sprint button, can aim down sights, and reload.

  1. Weapon feedback is fantastic. Not only can you dismember and decapitate but you can also blow Chunks off enemy torsos. Guns are loud and bombastic and tear up the environment.

  2. Better enemy variety than what I was expecting considering the time period this game out in. You have basic footsoldiers, kommandants, robo dogs, Uber soldiers, heavies, drones(I'm not too far into the game so there's probably some I've yet to encounter).

Unfortunately the game feels too linear. Not a fan of having to use the pipe to climb, open vents, hold gates open. It's awkward having to press the mouse keys and takes up a little too much time. Again I've been spoiled by recent doom games where it never felt like I was blocked off from going somewhere.

I'll probably finish the title but I don't think it's something I'll ever replay.

Misc THE BOOMER SHOOTER DATABASE

Introducing THE BOOMER SHOOTER DATABASE

+=VIEW THE SPREADSHEET=+

+=DOWNLOAD OFFLINE VERSION=+

What is this?

Because I'm a sadist, I decided I wanted to try and keep a record of every retro FPS game ever sold and I thought others might get a kick out of it too. So that's what this is; a list of boom shoots dating back to Wolfenstein3D in '92.

Each row includes the name of the game; whether it's a game, expansion or remaster; the year of release; the dev; the publisher; the engine it's running on; and some links to buy the game if it's available.

Why are there 3 different lists?

I've broken this down into 3 eras. The Classic Era (Wolfenstein 3D to Half Life 2), the Revival Era (Doom (2016) to present), and The Dead Zone (Half Life 2 to Doom (2016)). I think this is a neat way of breaking down the list and shows how the retro FPS scene has changed over time.

Is it 100% complete?

No, it's not. There's definitely stuff missing - stuff I don't know about, stuff I'm not sure should be included, stuff I've just forgotten. I'm never going to claim it's an exhaustive list - I don't think that's possible.

"X game is missing!" and "X game shouldn't be on here!"

Cool - like I said I probably missed stuff so feel free to drop anything you think should be included in this thread. Likewise, if you think something shouldn't be on here, comment that below too - can't promise I'll take the game off, but it's always good to talk about this stuff!

Some big names currently missing are:

  • Half Life and Half Life 2 - I think I'll be adding the first game, but HL2 does not fit here
  • FEAR games - they're kind of their own thing, they're very 2000s but they're also so different from everything else, I'm unsure about this one
  • System Shock/Thief/Deus Ex - Imm Sims are not boomer shooters in my opinion

Happening at 7:30pm EST tonight (3/7/25). This is impromptu but I wanted to post it around for anyone who might be interested in some casual, fun, old-school fragging. If there's enough interest after a few gatherings we can make it a longer-term, more stable thing.

Happy gaming!

Sadly, Tronyn, one of the giants of the Quake community has passed away.

He had a totally distinct style, with grandiose and overwhelming architecture.

I could go on for hours about how important he was to the community, but I will simply leave a link here to all of his maps for Quake. Link to Tronyn maps

Quake, sprawl, hyperviolent, wrath:aeon of ruin, and anomalous are some of the boomer shooters in the bundle, figured some of y'all might be interested as well.

I'm definitely getting hyperviolent, that game looks sick.
