Retro FPS?

I haven’t bought a retail title in quite a while; all of those memories are gone. The gaming industry (at least to me) has become bland and overrun by formula. Where as back when I socially played games (and still do play the very same games today) games were quite innovative, strategic, and other factors that I could list forever, games these days lack those factors, and reuse and re-employ popular factors used in the best selling game. 99% of first person shooters available on the market today employ some kind of iron-sight feature, a generic setting, usually involving some kind of war, where as you play as a ‘Generic Army Guy’, a Super Soldier, or some other character that is uninteresting, or hard to connect with. AI Bot support in multiplayer has been replaced by online features, and most FPS’ do not even have splitscreen anymore to begin with.

Personal opinion withheld to protect the innocent ( ≖‿≖)
 
Visorman is a massively inspired FPS’ of old, like Goldeneye 64. You must fight the 'Generic Army Guy' for gaming industry freedom!
Visorman is a 'superspy' whom wears a black visor over his eyes. He stars in his own game which is massively inspired by FPS’ of old, such as ‘Goldeneye 64’, ‘Perfect Dark’, 'XIII', 'Timesplitters', and many more.
lmfao ( ≖‿≖)

hopefully he nails the feel of 5 fps
 
that graphic

i know i shouldnt judge the game solely on that but still...
makes me feel it's a 1$ game or even freebie. so pamper by current gen games these days :P
 
Goldeneye is not what what comes to mind when I think "retro FPS". No, it's Wolfenstein, Heretic, Doom, and Duke Nukem 3D which pop in to my head. While I enjoyed Goldeneye 64 the though of it never crossed my mind.

I guess it means I'm old.

Nah, I thought the same thing as you.
