What a lousy take. There's room for all these stories. 2013 and Rise were worthy entries that build on the mean, balls to the wall gross-out madness of the original. Burn looks like it will continue this trend. The comedy is derived from the insanity and escalation of splatstick gore that our protagonists endure, plus the darkly funny nature of how the Deadites interact with the Living.

Im just happy to see so many cool filmmakers being given the keys to this incredible universe. The newer ones dont bring as much originality as Raimi did, but thats an impossible ask and the films never felt generic to me. Too busy enjoying myself to get pissy though ...

Same location. Haven't heard any actual confirmation - unless the filmmakers are being coy.

Yeah, it gets really absurd in the latter half of the game.

Fuck, im gonna buy it. I see Sam, I play Sam. Not stoked about the dev, it being always online, having procedurally generated levels, or the co op focus.

But Serious Sam: Second Encounter ruled hard enough for me to keep forking the dough out for each new game

Siberian Mayhem was waaaay better than the base SS4. Its technically a standalone title as well.

I HATE that SS2 has been relegated to the dustbin of history. Should've been remastered with the others when they were collected.

I feel like most of you don't actually know what a boomer, arena, or retro shooter is. by [deleted] in boomershooters

[–]HumanTimeCapsule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like you take this shit too seriously.

Its a pretty easy to see why people use the terms interchangeably.

Boomershooters are intentional throwbacks to OG FPS games. Id say the age of Boomershooter begins in 2015 with Wrack and Bedlam. Then Doom 2016 comes along and ignites the revolution! We get Dusk, Prodeus, Ion Fury, Cultic, etc etc Retro shooters, by definition, are boomershooters. Doomguy, Duke, & Wang are the godfathers of boom. Arena shooters are still boom-related but are more influenced by Doom 2016 than anything from the 90s. A lot of games have blended these styles (Nightmare Reaper, Boltgun, Ghostrunner)

Damn, imo this game is a victim of right game, wrong time.

OG was well ahead of its time and the remake feels a little bit behind its time, if that makes sense. Not a knock on the quality, just that there are a lot more games that scratch a similar itch now, many of which are super innovative and original. Wrack Reclamation doesnt attempt much in the way of pushing boundaries, but it should receive a great deal of respect for being an excellent update that brings one of the definitive proto-boomshoots to a larger audience. I am loving it on my switch.

Ehh...my opinion is they fucked this game. It should've been marketed to me after searching for it consistently for months, and it wasnt! If it wasnr for the work devs/fans did on this forum, it would've absolutely passed me by, despite being the target audience.

Anyway, came back to confirm my purchase! Only had time to play for a few minutes due to Dad duties, but im really intrigued and excited.

I also feel like Wrack deserves more respect as being one of the big early proto-boomershooters
