It would be nice to get an actual Perfect Dark style FPS with multiple objectives and mission parameters in a single large level. Nobody really makes that kind of game...

[@natedoggcata]

Shelly Harrison was originally going to be a side kick / love interest for Duke Nukem. There is old concept art of her from years ago. You could say this game has essentially been in development for 20 years

[@BloodRedFox2008]

@@HunterTinsley That sounds like the sort of retro styled shooter an indie dev might eventually tackle. Most retro styled shooters right now are more so following the mold of games like Doom, Quake, and Duke Nukem 3D (though Hedon and Amid Evil also have some Heretic and Hexen, Hedon in particular borrows Hexen 2's style of puzzle solving but without the HUB), in other words they're styled more after PC 90s shooters where progression was based more on key hunting. Console 90s shooters like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, the PS1 version of Powerslave, Turok 2 (not so much the first one, it was a very key hunt heavy game like PC shooters), and others usually gave specific objectives to complete before finishing a level with keys not always being essential to progression. Now in no way am I trying to say "key hunting shooters" are a bad thing, I love the majority of them in fact, but as someone who did actually grow up more on console shooters in the 90s than PC shooters, I'd love to see an indie one day make a shooter that specifically aims to recreate the style of gameplay you would have seen from the likes of Goldeneye or Perfect Dark.

Timing. Timing is so damn important in this industry (and luck with the whims of the consumers, honestly). Not sure if a retro shooter like this would have fared well in sales 10 years ago juuuust as 1080p gaming was starting to become "a thing" affordable to most people and was all the hype. Might have even looked like a desperate move by a broken company. Now that we've had 5+ years of accessible 1080p games and have seen how godawfully costly they can be to produced properly (and how astronomically costly it is to even think beyond), the waves of cheapo garbage-y "HD" titles having flooded past... People seem to finally be getting the message a bit more widely: games are an experience. Experiences come in many forms...

I miss games with complex level design. Shouldn't we have moved towards increased and improved complexity instead of levels devolving into aesthetically pretty simple hallways?

[@d2factotum]

Duke Nukem 3D was the first FPS that I could run at 800x600 resolution and I was astonished how sharp everything looked. The Build engine was surprisingly capable even in its day, but for them to be releasing a new game based on it is slightly bonkers to say the least...

[@CataclysmEnt]

Wow, I'm impressed with the reload animations and art in general, considering the age of the engine. I wish the enemy death animations had more frames, so they'd look as smooth as the guns.

[@thegenerousdegenerate9395]

I'd put $ on that being a stylistic choice. An homage if you will. I for one like it. Its those lil details that they've held back on that really sell this game. They could have very easily made this game all high res. super hd blah blah blah. But they chose not to and I would argue that knowing what NOT to overdo properly is more difficult than making them look amazing. An extra frame or two maybe but I like what they've done here.

Absolutely AWESOME! Old-school gaming at its very best. You can keep all those cash-grabbing AAA titles - Not one of those can hold a candle to a properly-crafted Build Engine game. I am absolutely buying this one!

[@NathanChisholm041]

Its $35.95Au so its not cheap but for what you get and all the work that's gone into it it seems worth it!

loved that damn game. Would be amazing if they ever resurrected that title.

Haven't been to your channel in a while. I like the new intro! PS: Good to see an honest review of this game. Lot's of people are saying the game is "just awesome" (which it is) but, I like to know exactly what I'm getting into before I buy a game, so thanks for the in depth review

I also thought they'd go "humadaya" and launch fireballs. That or growl sleepily and leech your health away with hugging motions. And the boss form is basically Tom Hall as Mumm-Ra.

Tekwar gets so much flak but I freaking LOVED that game back then!

This is a trip! A retro games channel, reviewing a completely retro looking game from 3DRealms no less, THAT IS NEW! I had to make sure i understood correctly a few times before i was confident I'm not misunderstanding something.

As great as "two girls, one co op" is, I think renaming this game to "Ion Storm" as a dig at Romero's old company would have been pretty funny.

[@B.A.512]

Oh wow love the athmosphere in this. And your great description LGR. Thanks! Now I hope for a Carmageddon 1 (1997) expansion with more cars, levels, upgrades and more cars than five in one race!

[@GuyManley]

Purchased about half way through watching this. Supports 21:9 ultra wide as well. Modern and retro at the same time. Amazing.

[@dimkir100]

i also have ultra wide monitor, but felt a bit distracted by too wide screen in ion fury

[@Gojiro7]

8:37 not gonna lie, seeing that mall segment kinda made me wanna see a build engine, or a DOOM WAD made that recreates Dawn of the dead as a slower paced mall setting shooter or a high speed demake FPS of Dead Raising XD

"Yum yum yum!" I feel comparisons between Shelly and the Blazkowicz Sisters are inbound!

I got to play this at PAX South this year and was in love immediately. Planning to stream this from end to end as soon as my PC is up and kicking again. Great review as always LGR! :)

[@AaaSWE]

I bought the game yesterday and love it! I am part of that older generation born in 1981 and have played these types of games since they came out. Having a completely new one in 2019 is just pure joy. Great review as always Clint, you are the best.

6:40 Makabe, Akkaraju, Ishikawa. It warms my soul seeing those Shogo references, another amazing oldie from the early 2000's

[@lknanml]

Did you ever play Iron Storm back in the day? Released in 2002. Alternate history game. World War I never ended and takes place in 1964, the 50th year of the war. Love to see that one in review form. Holy crap. Steam has it for 3 bucks. WW1ish here I come.

[@johnfrancisdoe1563]

LKNANML Ever seen the Valerian episode that takes place in a WW1 western front scenario?

[@lknanml]

@@johnfrancisdoe1563 I'm drawing a blank on that one but you have my attention. More info please!

[@lknanml]

Picked up Iron Storm. I usually don't go back and play games from years gone by as to not change the good memories I have with them. This channel is changing my mind. Forgot how unforgiving the game was on realistic. Since the cat is out of the bag I think I am going to look for the first PC game I spent hours and hours playing. Ancient art of war 1984. Wasn't my first PC game but it's the one that sticks out the most looking back.

[@iskeypxx]

would love to see an rpg on this engine.

[@jesusstaccato8448]
