RetroPEW Is Now Live!

#30994 posted by Quakeulf on 2019/05/11 19:46:56

(As posted about earlier)

RetroPEW is a list of modern FPS-es made to resemble the style of the 90's. It's currently a very early list, and we would like help with games to add.

There is no money in it for us, only love for the genre. :3

Stupid Fucking Name.

Hope that helps.

On Second Thought.

Nevermind, it's the perfect name. The target audience for 90% of those game listed unironically thinks that Quake weapons make "pew pew" sounds like an arcade cabinet from 1985.

Hmmmm

quite a lot of obvious ones missing from the "classics" section, surely? Doom? Blood? ROTT Hexen, Heretic, Painkiller (even tho it's 2004)? etc etc.....

It's Early And Missing A Lot

It's been so far just me and another guy making this list whenever we have had the time for it. As you can see by the date we've not had much time to keep it updated. Hopefully I can expand on the list(s) in the upcoming days. People have already told me a lot of titles that needs to be added, but I am aware there is a lot, and it would need to be done incrementally for now.

In the future I might add a fully user-based voting process, or even get some help if someone wants to help us out keeping it updated. It uses YAML so it's just about inputting a name, date, and related URLs. The graphic header is the only thing that would need to be custom made.

Also

I would recommend a section where you explain what qualities a game must have to be on this list.

A lot of (newer) gamers might not get why game X is here, but not game Y.

Congratulations!

The name is perfect. The sight looks good and it's a helpful service for any shooter fan. I agree there's a tin more classics you can add too.

Good luck.

Problems With RetroPEW

#31001 posted by Quakeulf on 2019/05/11 21:21:23

Hi, just so you all know there are some unfortunate errors with the technical stuff on the site (since it's all a custom solution on a custom built server we have to do it all ourselves, for now) and we are looking into it as we type.

Please report any issues if you have. We've already got a lot of feedback, which is good.

Kinn:
That will come. We need to distinguish from 6DOF-games like Forsaken and the Descents, etc.

dumptruck_ds:
Thank you. It's a bit rough still but hopefully we can fix the issues before they become too bad.

How Is The Name Perfect??

Sure the retro bit is right. If "pew" evokes anything other than mockery of weapon noises or that cuntscraping with the fucking youtube channel, then I'm not aware of it?? Yes it's only a name but I'm not sure how it can possibly be good compared to a trillion other options. Off the top of my head, RetroGIB would be blindingly obvious and suitable.

Anyway, as before the site idea is great once it's more fleshed out.

How is this possible?
Am I chunking a private satellite or something?
Can someone help me out here, because I think it is not a general abuse.
