EuroGamer - Welcome to another video rundown of the goings-on at Outside Xbox. This week we have decamped to Germany for Gamescom, the videogame megaconvention. It's the best place in the world right now to see upcoming games, so that's what we are doing. That and not eating any fruit or vegetables.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."
Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.
Physical media. Unfortunately the way games are going these days game servers will eventually be shut down and you can stare at the menu and wish you could play the game again.
This is why reading is so important. Nothing to do with digital or physical media. The game, which is online only, is being delisted because of DDOS and other hacker attacks. The case got so bad that only six players in the world log on. For PC. Rather than fix it, they continued to sell the game, broken as it is, and only now just decided to call it quits. But please, go on thinking what you will.
I'm aware of the DDOS attacks and that this case is not typical. This game would eventually have it's servers shutdown regardless of the current situation so that is a moot point. My comment was in a general sense and that there are instances in which games can be preserved physically when official support ends.
Let's recap your first sentence. I said, "the way GAMES are going these days" indicating a broader stroke than just this game. I agree, reading IS important. I was simply stating the obvious downsides of the digital marketplaces and online only trends in games these days. I could even make the argument that the online only offering which has allowed hacker manipulation has impacted the preservation of this great game. My comment is valid in the general sense and thank you for your permission to continue to think what I will.
Definitely a cool looking game, and one of the few things going for the XB imo.
If it was a launch title I think the preorder numbers would look at least a little different.
WOW is what everyone who's tried it says. That's what is getting us excited!
It seems that people that get hands on or watch it live have nothing to say, but good things. Here comes Titan Fall. I just wish there was a campaign.
The game does look fun. Too bad it's not coming to the PS4 at launch, as that's the console I'll initially be getting. I guess I'll have to play it on PC, and maybe again on PS4 later down the line, since EA said a PS4 version is not out of the question. Nonetheless, it'll be fun to play on any platform.
They're attempting to incorporate a single player campaign into multiplayer which is another good feature.
This game might very well be the best fps of 2014
