Serious Sam, Painkiller, Shadow Warrior, Quake 1, Unreal Tournament .....should give you a good start for your second series on this topic.... Probably could have also included Redneck Rampage
My first ever video was actually top 50 boomer shooters where I included much more games; this video is mostly for new comer who want to get into the genre. Nevertheless thank you so much for the comment and recommendations💛💛. I'll pin your comment so others can check out these games.
I just played doom 64 on switch and it brought me back to my childhood. It's been a long time since I had intense edge of your seat gun fights in a game like that, even by modern gaming standards. I'm about to pick up the doom 1+2 remaster pack. I remember playing all these games with my dad as a kid. Doom, quake, hexen, Wolfenstein, turok. Man, great times.
Great list and mix of old and new! It wasn't included here but anyone who hasn't checked out Selaco yet, I promise you it is amazing. The gunplay, music, interactivity, level design...everything is just chef's kiss, man.
Iv'e every game on your list and they are all awesome, but you wanna try Dread Templar just started playing it. It's got dual katanas, dual pistols, dual uzis, pump shotgun and double barreled shotgun, and probably more I don't know because Iv'e only just started playing. It's also got a killer sound track. I highly recommend getting for the Boomer shooter lovers out there.
Quake 1 was more about.. multiplayer and engine demo. In single player game it was more about modding and speed running but single player game on other aspect wasn't that good.
Single player Quake is amazing actually, especially the modern mapping scene. Mods like Arcane Dimensions or the Brutalist jams contain some of the best single player FPS maps ever. Also Quake's weapon and enemy roster just feel perfect.
This what they’ve been called for years, it’s not that deep lol. They mimic a specific style and feel of OLD SCHOOL shooters and thus are called Boomer Shooters. Because it doesn’t play like call of duty or more popular modern FPS.
@ oh he’s definitely right. But it’s easier for everything to have a sub genre nowadays to differentiate. I wouldn’t say devil may cry and dark souls are the same even if they’re action adventure games. There’s a reason terms like soulslike, roguelike/lite, metroidvania, and others were created. Are they all action adventure games? Yes but they all play differently.
Hey man thanks for the comment💛💛 I actually have a video of 50 best boomer shooters in which I included some really obscure games, this one is mostly for people who want to get into the genre.
@@KR_GreySkies Does it try to be Ultrakill or is it its own thing? I feel like either way, it will be hard to enjoy another boomershooter after already having played Ultrakill
@@TheNerdsGames No but fot other boomershooters it does seem that way, especially if it was an attempt at imitating it. If a game is great in it's own way I can still enjoy it, but fps's rarely are revolutionary in that way
I get what you're saying, modern fast paced shooters can get very similar but I really recommend Cultic and it's main source of inspiration Blood. They are not necessarily fast paced, but they have unbelievable atmospheres, especially Blood.
Old games aren't boomer shooters/retro shooters. Boomer Shooters are exclusively new shooters that harken back to old games. Doom isn't a Boomer Shooter. It's a classic shooter.
"Before battle royal and tactical shooters ruled the world, there was era there speed, skill and carnage were King" Beautiful words, but i think "skill" is too much here. I play doom (including eternal) on ultra violence, blood on well done and usually i pick hardest/second to hardest difficulty in my fps, but I know for a fact i would be steamrollered in fortnite or counter strike. This is different set of skills, vut this games demand skills and alot of skills.
Great video! Have you ever heard of the game BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER 3 : I OPENED A PORTAL TO HELL IN THE FAVELA TRYING TO REVIVE MIT AIA I NEED TO CLOSE IT? Cheers!

@@TheNerdsGames How old are you seriously in your teens I believe THEY ARE CALLED FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS!
Baby Boomers DO NOT PLAY THESE!
FPS, FPS, FPS, OLDEST FPS, OLDER FPS, OLDER FPS also DUKE NUKEM 3D.
@@TheNerdsGames Cool, I'll go check it out

Painkiller

It's a bit more tactical but with boomer shooter sprites
Not adding the first encounter of Serious sam is a miss🙏
Damn... I really should have remembered that game.
Great job & nice channel 👍 Thanks for credit
No need mate; I'm glad you enjoyed it.💛💛
@@TheNerdsGames it's weirdly pleasant to watch my own gameplay from years ago 😃 Mainly I'm glad it's useful.
Only problem with the quake 2 remaster is the music stops after completing certain objectives and after looping for a while.It needs to be fixed.

Excellent choices. There’s a few here I would like to check out.
Venturous - In the Footsteps of the Fallen 🤠🤌
Dusk crossbow does not pin any one to walls, it goes THROUGH walls. Maybe a mix up or whatever but nice vid for fans of the genre
Terminator: Future Shock would also get my vote.
No Quake 1?! It's the best FPS ever made, you can't just leave it out :p

Quake 1 sits with doom as pinnacle or boomer shooters
DO NOT CALL THEM BOOMER SHOOTER'S I'm not 60 damn it, They are FPS.

@thajazzzprovidaaa26 The dude is right though. Boomers played Pong. These games were made by Gen X for early millenials.

Boltgun was disappointing. It gives everything up in two leveos and then it's just the same mob over and over...
Brother, I appreciate the video but you should try showcasing games a that are a little less well known.

I could never buy Turbo Overkill, because the name makes it feel like it's going to be a cheap Ultrakill knock-off, even though it looks good
Turbo overkill was on of the best shooters I ever beat.

Ultrakill is a great game, but not that much to stop you from enjoying other games...

LoL I was wondering what you meant by that sentence and apparently the game's name is really that long. Thanks for the recommendation mate💛💛
