What is this shit? Is this honestly what people think arena shooters should look like?

Also no it's not retro.

Looks retro....
>>
>>3089790
It looks like a minecraft mod at best.

Sorry if you were being satirical.
>>
>>3089797

Dude it looks like it came out in 1996
>>
>>3089810
Yep.
>>
this looks like total shit, but the music is cool
>>
Thanks OP, I'm going to pre-order right now. Looks like Quake but better
>>
Looks ok, the kids will forget about it in a week just like devil daggers.

I guess you've never seen a game from 1996, because it definitely doesn't look like that. It also isn't retro, as it releases soon. Doesn't matter what it looks like, new games can't be retro games

>>3089820
What is satire.
>>

Definitely not the word you're thinking.

Don't lie, if you saw this gif out of context you'd think this was some hidden gem from 1996

Ok maybe I gave you too much credit thinking it was satire. You're a fucking idiot and born in the 2000s.

It's retro, but despite the name, retro games are off-topic on /vr/. Here we only discuss games on platforms older than 2000.
>>
>>3089841
Of course not, widescreen monitors were extremely rare in 1996.

Reminds me of the early 2000s when the Quake 3 engine was just made open source and a million clones were coming out.
>>
>>3089778
Was it released for retro systems?

If yes, then it is.
If not, sorry bud.

Cool art style, but it looks like it plays closer to Halo than Quake though.
>>
Wait, so if I get this right the maps are randomly generated? Like if you just ran doom oblige?
Interesting.
>>
>>3089841

I've seen it out of context. I looked at the picture in the OP without even reading the text. My first thought was "what is this modern indie game doing in /vr/".
>>
>>3089910
Yeah you can tell by every single particle in the game being made of little cubes each with their unique physics that it's closer to minecraft than the overblown textures from Quake. Not that's necessarily a bad thing, mind you.
>>
>>3089875
As "platform" is not defined for PCs, by convention we use release date of the game instead. This unwritten rule is consistently enforced for it's a real rule.

Textures are too clean for 1996 and the gun is too blocky, even for 1996.

It's just another faux-retro game trying to appeal to idiot teens and 20-somethings with fauxstalgia for TEH GOOD Ol' DAYZ XD.
>>
>>3089841
If I was just looking at some renders of that map, sure. The HUD and voxel/MC-shit player and gun model give it away though.

>>3089978

Ding ding ding.
