@CactusFuturist Forgot Soldier of Fortune, Raven Shield, Red Faction, XIII, explosion of WW2 in CoD and Medal of Honour. The quake archetype was a relic by 2003 and it had nothing to do with Halo.
@CactusFuturist Never understood how Halo was meant to be the thing that killed Quake when, between 2000 and 2004, the genre were Operation Flashpoint, Vietcong, NoLF, Fear, Far Cry, Half Life 2, Serious Sam, Shogo, all bearing little resemblance to it.
I discovered this charming website (https://t.co/OKXb1IOC6J) recently while searching for information on Harry Horse's mystifying Drowned God: Conspiracy of the Ages (1996). Though its animations are beyond classic Geocities every single page is extraordinary.
@willnotstancil@revenant_MMXX Try Shadow Tower Abyss on an emulator. It's a different beast, but the essence of the series (or at least DeS) is undeniably there, despite it being a first person game with a gun.
