![]() Speaking of relevance, the 2013 revival of Rise of the Triad is 100% one of those games that came out a few years too early to be relevant. That game came out last week! Mmmm, you see that? That's the look of an Unreal 3 game, the look of an entire console generation. The recently released Into the Pit seems very boring! There’s your shred of relevance for the day. Fast forward to 2021 and apparently New Blood and 3D Realms are just pumping the things out left and right (or at least early access demos of “shooters what where you go fast and can find secrets and probably can’t aim down sights.”) I myself have said a thing or two about a thing or two, namely that DUSK is very, very good and Amid Evil looks very nice with that ray tracing turned on. While it’s not entirely fair to say that Doom 2016 is responsible for the current spate of throwback FPSes (I refuse to use the term “Boomer Shooter” in anything other than the most sneering, eye-rolling context) it definitely made that kind of fast, exploration-focused ordeal acceptable again in a mainstream setting. Time Played: 94 minutes too long am I right. But hey, these are the guys who went on to make Ghostrunner, so they clearly made something people like Rise of the Triad 2013 Truly, both ahead of its time and also far, far too late. ![]()
