I remember playing through Total Chaos and loving every single minute of it. It was absolutely amazing in every way. Then, the end. The end was such a huge fucking let down. At least for me. It was all a hallucination? Foh with that film cliché bullshit. I hope this remake changes that ending because otherwise there won't be much of a point to go through it again.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of arena shooters, just regular arena shooters, roguelike arena shooters, as well as co-op multiplayers. I'd like to see more story-driven shooters, with gradual storytelling and progression, rather than when they lock you in an arena with a randomizer. Out of action It's a shame that a game with such dynamics, movements and dodges will be another PvP.
Same for me. Recently played through Rainbow Six 3 that has a story driven campaign. You really don't get FPS games like that now. Lots and lots of 1990s retro throwbacks and multiplayer only games today.
None of these games are arena shooters other than splitgate 2. It’s actually dumb how little amount of arena shooters we have. And the ones we do have the player bases have either all died or they’re just the same game next year (COD if you count that as an arena shooter, since some would count it as an extraction shooter). Most of these games are single player arcade shooters or military sim extraction shooters.
I remember adding Brutal Fate to my wishlist back in like 2019 instantly when I heard the Doom modder for Brutal Doom was making a game, I almost completely forgot it existed until this video. That's how long that project has taken x'D and it still doesn't have a suspected release date
Kook and Muller Madjack, Abyssus, Compound Fracture, Mouse PI For Hire as silver of course the previous ones greats as well - lovely list though very swell
What i miss in this retro madness, is a Unreal 1 styled game. Atmospheric, beautiful levels, accompanied by a wonderful soundtrack. But all those retro games, are just bullet-hells, in PSX graphic
When describing Ferocious you said it seems a little bit like FarCry and then went on to describe FarCry 2-6, forgetting the original. It's got almost exactly the same pitch as the original and that makes it easily the most exciting title on the list.
I REALLY hope Industria 2 delivers. The first Industria part/whatever you want to call it was really good but had issues. I hope they address those small issues because man Industria could be an awesome franchise if it does it right. And oh boy do I want Brutal Fate to be good, because DAMN. Brutal Doom is an incredible Doom mod after all, so if Brutal Fate can deliver as much as say Selaco has - we're golden.
Cruelty Squad is actually a finance fishing game with fps elements. You didn't like it because you're poor and didn't buy your friends and family the game.
Jokes aside Cruelty Squad is an immersive sim Just like Dues ex, Thief, etc You can approach situations in any way you like and can pull off some pretty creative and stupid shit like assassinating a target via throwing a toilet across the map The game has some interesting lore to it and also meme material so there's that too
i hope more games get old school graphics, they carry more charm and atmosphere and run so much easier performance wise. condemned, f.e.a.r, gears of war, riddick, and doom 3, half life 2 are great examples of games that look great even for how old they are, and games try to influence from them to this day but never get it right. compound fracture looks like the perfect game for my ally!
Not a fan of all the 1990s styled FPS games flooding the market, but Darkenstein looks fun. Reminds me of a forgotten FPS called Mortyr. Brutal Fate looks good too, but the dev isn't prioritizing releasing that one over his other Doom 2 mod projects. I've waited a long time for a Far Cry with dinosaurs game. Hoping Ferocious finally delivers that game. And since Capcom refuses to bring back Dino Crisis, looking forward to Compound Fracture as well. Been a while since we've received an update on it. Same for Agent 64 too. I'd also add Beneath to this vid. We rarely get single player focused FPS games like that now.
The huge amount of boomer shooters listed here is nauseating. Do I have to wait another decade to see new FPS games inspired by the best of the 2000s? Really?
Most of these look astoundingly mediocre. It seems that most indie devs nowadays have very little imagination and are just riding whatever wave they perceive as hip or whatever. Imo the only titles in this video that are worth looking forward to are Brutal Fate, Unrecord, Deep State, Agent 64 and Psycho Patrol R.
That's because a lot of non AAA FPS games have been 1990s throwback "Boomer shooters." It has gotten to the point where I can't tell most of them apart now. My favorite thing is when an FPS focused TH-camr complains about the lack of 2000s styled FPS games. Only to then claim how amazing some random boomer shooter is and how it is FPS GOTY. Lol.
4:30 Fun Fact: Total Chaos actually started as a full-coversation mod for Doom (More exactly, the mordern port of the game, GZDoom)
Yeah, to be honest, I was really shocked that he didn't mention that.

@@vazzeg Yeah, I have to admit that ruined it for me too. I haven't picked it up since :(
@@vazzeg those endings are the worst. Oh this whole thing that happened? Yeah, it's just mental illness or a nightmare. None of it is real.

This is a great video, I like how you narrate every game, instead of just a slideshow.

Many great titles I would otherwise never heard of! Ferocious sparked my interest for sure
Banger after banger after banger in this video. I almost wishlisted every title you highlighted.
First rule of boomer shooter dev club: Put your title in all caps
Boomerzy mają ponad 80 lat i nigdy nie grali w gry komputerowe więc nie przesadzaj, jak już to gen X shooter
@ I don’t much like the name either but it seems to be what people have decided on.
Another one is Beyond Citadel, the follow up to Citadel.
Ferocious is basically far cry
Kook and Muller Madjack, Abyssus, Compound Fracture, Mouse PI For Hire as silver of course the previous ones greats as well - lovely list though very swell
Neat list, but too much missing, I feel obligated to extend the list :D
Interesting Indies:
- Covenant
- Paperhead
- Bad Cheese
- Gravelord
- Judas
- Mala Petaka
- Twisted Tower
- Core Decay
- Luna Abyss
- Routine
- The Explorator
- Clockwork Revolution
- Afterblast
- Hellbreak
- Crisol: Theatre of Idols
Larger Titles:
- Borderlands 4
- Dying Light: The Beast
- Outer Worlds 2
- Perfect Dark
- Killing Floor 3
- Doom: The Dark Ages
That's why he does multiple episodes instead of one 2 hr episode.
Fragpunk
Core Decay ain't coming out mate, whole team got laid off.
@@defectivenull False news, only half the team was laid off and core decay isn't cancelled.
@@defectivenull hm could you site a source if so? really hope it's not :)
Thanks so much for featuring KOOK!
You’re welcome
I believe the Rogue Point devs said that their game can also be played in single player format but I could be wrong
Wish it was single player focused. Miss great military FPS games these days.
I just found out that Rogue Point can indeed be played in single player. Team17 confirmed it on Steam
Industria 2 looks good. The 1st one reminded me very much of Half Life, seemed great
Exactly
And yet we still don't have Dino Crisis smh. Capcom only had one job
And don't forget about Parasite Eve, but instead they did Exoprimal, lol. What a company of clowns...
Pretty nice list. Good shit
total chaos is wild
CHAOS
My wishlist can't handle this kind of inflation!!!
This happens every new video ahahaahah
Bioshock 1+2 whatever that category of shooter is called is what I need.
Same. I'm kinda over the boomer shooter genre. It was fun but they feel the same now
you mean Doom 3 clones? :p
Im-sim lite. Well, we ain't getting many immersive sims to begin with.
You'll want to keep an eye out for Judas than.
good finds, thank you!
We need a new Unreal Tournament!
Fat fuggin chance lol. Epic owns this IP and they ain't making another one anytime soon.
I'd prefer Unreal 3
What i miss in this retro madness, is a Unreal 1 styled game. Atmospheric, beautiful levels, accompanied by a wonderful soundtrack. But all those retro games, are just bullet-hells, in PSX graphic

That Drakenstein looks promising tbh. Why i have vibe, is heavily inspired by Wolfenstein?
Mouse PI looks sick!

Monke Simulator is peak of gaming
23:09 nice release date, well played Ville 😂
Cruelty Squad is an excellent game.
It's obvious from the first weapon that Kook is inspired by PainKiller
I'm a super die hard fan of Cruelty Squad!
classic fps game never dies
a new Alien vs Predator game would be cool..
An FPS game where you can pet dinosaurs! Hell Yeah! 😎
I swear there are 3 different games in this video.
Cruelty Squad is actually a finance fishing game with fps elements. You didn't like it because you're poor and didn't buy your friends and family the game.
Its a goated game
@@TheAnimator2005 it's popular so it probably appeals to gen z therefore it's not goated
@blueshit199 im not even gen Z im 47 bro i just like how chaotic and funny it is
@blueshit199 also you sound like a Gen z with that opinion
Very true you’re a solid citizen
Zees are some exquisite gamees, mon ami...
Are there any FPS games that emphasize exploration but not survival and crafting?
What do you mean by exploration (only)?
@ClemmyGames maybe something similar to Prey but doesn't necessarily have to be an ImSim? I would love to one day see a Skyrim-like game with guns.
Compound Fracture is the game that never be released
CRUEL is definitely inspired by BLOOD
Excuse me, Mullet Mad Jack X Ultrakill?!
Back to 3DFX Voodoo graphics
I didnt know your from Singapore
Games with that time gimmick are a hard pass for me. Which is a shame because I like the graphic style.
Sure
OK Second loop, you have my attention...
These Are Mostly For PC, PS5, What About Ps4, That's Not Fair 😠?
Why did you loop the video from #9?
ran out of footage lol
Oh, violence.
Game in the thumbnail?
Compound fracture
Jokes aside
Cruelty Squad is an immersive sim
Just like Dues ex, Thief, etc
You can approach situations in any way you like and can pull off some pretty creative and stupid shit like assassinating a target via throwing a toilet across the map
The game has some interesting lore to it
and also meme material so there's that too
One of the best games I've ever played, unironically.

Yeah it's unfortunate that single player and couch coop is so hard to find now for shooters especially
Sadly Compound Fracture hasn't seen an update for quite a while and is probably dead.
Exocide probably is dead unfortunately, there's no news for years and the game's X account was deleted.
Thanks for the heads up
Too much good stuff
18:30
I nust want a new Hexen game.
I really am sick of "rouge like" games.
Preach!
fair enough
There's Treyarch Zombies this year so nothing can replace CoD for me. 🗿
PS. Unless I find Mouse P.I. for hire.
So many dino games, maybe we will finally have a remake of dino crisis ?!?
get your japanese console games outta here
they are all the same.
Когда уже перестанут делать эти всратые картонные манекены с 2.5 кадрами анимации вместо врагов?

This so much tbh
Or rogue-lites. I was an FPS that focuses on exploration but without all the RPG or survival elements
I think you mean 1990s, son. N64 was like mid-90s.
Perhaps in 2026 there will be that change in direction
No one forces you to buy them
