It’s so funny to be reminded of that period in the 90s where any first person game was described as a “DOOM clone”, because DOOM itself was the first FPS that hugely took off.
Exactly, DOOM is DOOM. I remember hearing Wolfenstein calls a DOOM Clone too.
Doom was a top down 2d shooter that just happened to be rendered in first person 3d.
It’s the first “person shooter”
After Wolfenstein
Nazis don’t count as people
In that sense Doom doesn’t count either
Ahoy always delivers.
Parkour
A parkour game without jumping?
Doom & Captain Toad Treasure Tracker are in the same genre.
When the only choices are parkour or menus? Yes.
I thought it was a Christian game…
[Hello] i don’t know, probably a shooter?
I thought doom was just doom
Hack and slash
L take.
His worst video.
And an entire month too late for April Fools Day.
I have not seen the video but I think the correct modern answer nowadays is: “boomer shooter”
And what defines that genre?
“The term boomer shooter has a rather nebulous origin, and it likely started as a joke. Online pedants often point out that the original first-person shooters were developed by Gen-Xers like John Carmack (born 1970) and John Romero (born 1967), not Baby Boomers. However, “boomer shooter” uses the slang version of the term boomer, as a stand-in for any older person who is closed-minded and out of touch—so please, direct those complaints elsewhere.”
Yeah
