Wait did they announce a new Duke game or is this all (deserved) excitement over the leak?

It would be cool if someone finished it. At this stage I think beyond someone actually making a good AAA Duke game (unlikely) the best thing they could do is either pull an Ion Maiden and make an entirely new game in build with all the tricks they have access to now or in another newer but still "retro" engine. For all its faults, Ion Maiden shows that you can make a true modern boomer shooter with enough time and love.

Ion Maiden convinced me that a boomer shooter (new or old), lives or dies on three things:
a) weapon variety
b) enemy design
c) level design

With the last being critical to whether or not your game actually is fun.

People continue to be dumb as fuck and don't realise that chastising a mouse that you yourself write and voice means you get to externalise and make all the jokes you want without getting lynched by idiots, just like pretending to disapprove of clips you include anyway.
But that ploy only works because people are dumb so we just gotta deal with it I guess.

I have figured out that the key to being a successful videogames tuber is to invent the most retarded voice you can come up with that doesn't come off as unambiguously mentally retarded.

That's pretty much why Painkiller was so awesome. Every level felt different and the weapons were solid with quality over quantity.
Modern Boomer Shooters feel too light in enemy variety, which causes later levels to feel repetitive unless they have some gameplay quirk.
Roguelikes shooters have maybe B, definitely not C and A is RNG dependent and usually summarised as having a broken weapon rather than a well designed one. Which is why the reviews for them annoy me so much.

Actually it's amazing there's no Painkiller video yet. Not only is it one of the best FPS ever made, it's sequels are entertaining punishment by themselves.

Civvie gets a mention in the latest MandaloreGaming video. Nothing major, just namedropped as the better person to critic an old shooter.

I just saw that review yesterday. It sums up my thoughts on Marathon: some neat features for the time but holy fuck is it boring to play because of shit map design.
