By some sheer coincidence, we're now seeing several 'old-school retro indie throwback classic' first-person shooters put on Steam, all of which happen to be going through Early Access and all of which happen to be slated for release this year, maybe.
It's not like there's been much of note going on in the first-person shooter genre anyways, so this is all we're going to get. Has anyone played these games out of morbid curiosity, and do they actually stack up?

I enjoyed quake vanilla enough, but I could never really get into it like doom era games (hexen, blood, doom, strife). The aesthetics just aren't there for me. The vertical level design is nice, but the lack of props, weak feeling weapons, and origami enemies just ruin it for me.

Starsiege Tribes lasted some 12 years after release on mods, not even T2 competed with it until they made it open source, then that dickfart Ascend came around and fucked the community into nothing. There are probably a handful of people here who actually feel my pain that T1 is dead. I cannot lament enough about how much Ascend removed from the franchise on arrival and nobody here seems to give a fuck because they never played T1.

AFAIK, Dusk and Ion Maiden are made by Interceptor. Their claim to fame is 2013 Rise of The Triad reboot, so it's not a big stretch for them to continue cashing in on the nostalgia. Considering they do keep to the classic shooter philosophy (unlike some other old school FPS reboots recently), I see no no problem with that.

It's interesting to look at if you're the kind of person who wants to see what possible directions a FPS can take in terms of gameplay, even if they're slight. It'd be inappropriate to call it a straight-up Doom/Quake clone given how the enemy design overall is much more projectile-based. The closest ancestor to DUSK gameplay-wise would be Marathon if anything, though there's no enemy-unique weapon resistances or reloading and that kind of thing. There is no hitscan or pseudo-hitscan like in Ion Maiden either. Simple AI is compensated for with enemy placement and numbers as expected, and when all of them are of the projectile-throwing kind you can end up in some proto-bullet hell situations, as the projectile speed can be quite high.
You can actually complete each level on the highest difficulty without taking a single hit and when starting with the default loadout, which I don't think most other first-person shooters are even balanced around, or even offer as NIGHTMARE+-ish challenge mode like DUSK does, called DUSKMARE. I think the game is the most fun on that difficulty with Intruder Mode enabled, since I feel the game is a bit too forgiving on more normal difficulties and somewhat overly plentiful health pickups. You also get a sliding move which lets you slide under enemy projectiles, which I think is the coolest fucking shit when you pull it off.
Level design in Episode 1 is mostly ok, in terms of encounter design and architecture. It's just too easy, even on DUSKMARE, and most of the levels do not have something really unique that makes them stand out. The levels themselves are quite varied in terms of situation, the free space you're given to move around in, and the general concept of the levels themselves, though if you aren't a shitter you might feel that things blend too much because nothing really pushes you outside your comfort zone in this episode save for a few exceptions.
Episode 2 is where things off the rails proper and things start to get a lot more creative. The levels start to become a lot more outlandish and some new enemy types are introduced to fill some of the missing niches in the enemy roster which E1 suffered from, and the difficulty is tuned up by a good notch. Some new power-ups like climbing gear and a syringe which turns the game into SuperHot are introduced, which work neatly as they're used sparingly rather than having entire levels be centered around them, which would be plagiarism.
The boss fights are mostly drek, as is to be expected from any first-person shooter. The second episode final boss has something interesting going on as it's essentially Bomberman, where you're in a maze of very narrow corridors and have to flip some switches to progress, but the boss can teleport around to chase you and spam dozens of grenades down a corridor. Unfortunately it goes down rather easily.
The graphics look like shit but the weapons themselves do feel great to use. The super shotty can turn enemy to a cloud of blood FEAR-style, which is especially cool when you slide through their bloated corpse at the same time. It does manage to be proper atmospheric at times, as in E2M4 where you crawl through the guts of some infernal machine processing the blood and innards of even the enemies you're fighting, as you constantly hear the mashing of machines around you and one of the best songs in the soundtrack plays. I like that it's actually honest with itself and not trying to be constantly self-aware and referential all the time as some other games do to make up for being shitty on purpose.
I do like it more than Ion Maiden. Ion Maiden just has nothing interesting going on in terms of combat, though it does eke out in terms of exploration there being more fun to hunt secrets in because they are placed in very tricky places (though they do end up upsetting the resource balance because of how many secret armors you end up finding in all these secrets). But then DUSK has seen the release of 2 out of 3 episodes consisting of 10 levels and Ion Maiden only 1 out of 7(?) 'zones' consisting of around 4/5 levels of various sizes, so I can't really judge Ion Maiden accurately in comparison yet.
DUSK's multiplayer component is also quite fun, reminds me of HLDM in terms of its map design, speed and chaoticness, though I don't think it's any different from any multiplayer mode released for any first-persons shooter released in the past.
The singleplayer campaign and overall design is done by one guy who I know nothing about, and the multiplayer portion is done by a bunch of antifa furfags. Take that as you will.

Satisfying weapon recoil requires good animations, and it would be even better if all the details of the weapon can be displayed, so it also requires good graphics to some extent. Enemy reaction is consisted of body movement and gore, and they definitely also require good animations, graphics, and even physics. GTA IV's physics are far more fun to watch and interact with than the monotonous 1 frame animation of Doom's enemies. Good looking gore requires realistic looking blood, chunks, and amputations. And you also forgot environmental reaction to damage, such as a projectile creating dust particles when hitting the wall, or bottles and furniture breaking when shot. Look up FEAR. Duke 3D did these to some extent, but they looked like shit so they had very little impact.

Only good, but there isn't any great one, like groundbreaking. I don't feel like there is any japanese game that is actually satiating.

I'd argue for every game like, say, Nier that comes out and tries something new, you also get a shit ton of Final Fantasy clones with some 2deep4u story.
However, you're right on the market focus. There's no point producing 3 10/10 games that appeal to 1 million people total when you could produce 1 6/10 game, spend a lot on marketing and hit the same or higher, as far as management sees it. They spend the same amount and get an equal or better return, from the intense marketing.
In Japan, a dev is content if his game only reaches a couple thousand people, and it still pays the bills (alongside other projects/jobs they have). Even American indie devs are aiming for ridiculous numbers like over 100k, so they dumb it down to the lowest common denominator in the hopes of resonating with more people, albeit on a less significant level.
What needs to happen is devs to start more intense self-publishing, having devs own their IPs instead of larger conglomerates of studios that just shift IPs around to studios or a company on the level of THQ Nordic and Devolver needs to step up and provide the publishing service for a smaller cut or a fixed fee.
Once you remove publishers fucking up studios with fancy charts that show growth and focus devs purely on money making, you'll suddenly get lots of devs trying to make the best game possible to get spread by goodwill from users, not shitty marketing stunts.

The Japanese have barely touched the first-person shooter genre outside lightgun games, and Japanese third-person shooters like EDF, Vanquish, Binary Domain, Lost Planet have been consistently interesting and varied enough to stand out even during a period of oversaturated cover shooters everywhere dominating the market.
Your ignorant shitposting aside, what I wish to see is the Western equivalent of something like Vanquish. When I look at most "old-school" first-person shooters (since cinematic shooters are not worth talking about and tactical shooters are too rare), the only thing Western developers only seem to be able to think of to set their FPS apart of others is different weapons, different enemies, different aesthetics, maybe a different style of level design. And if you look at these new batch of old-wave shooters, they're all trying to do the same thing as well.
However, the fundamentals of them all remains the same. The decision-making involved in resource management, movement, aiming, and weapon balance is too identical, even at a glance. Most of them try to stand out through a different kind of breadth rather than depth, which is fine, but it's been 25 years since the release of Doom and we haven't really seen a proper milestone in singleplayer FPS gaming (outside genre hybrids such as Deus Ex and Half-Life) since FEAR, as most innovations in this regard seem to somehow only occur in multiplayer games where a high skill ceiling is more preferable to extend game life. There's barely any singleplayer FPS games released with a worthwhile skill ceiling worth reaching for, as most people play FPS for the sake of completion rather than mastering a set of skills, and as a response most FPS designs cater to that demand. There's speedrunning, but that's its own separate unintended branch of autism.
Then you got something like Vanquish which right off the bat gives you something cool and unique to play around with, and it's immediately obvious looking at someone playing the game whether he's actually good at the game or just a shitter. The gameplay systems usually present in these kind of arcade-y and more cuhrazy type of games allow for much higher player expression which the game can test the player on. The more tools with their own learning curves and quirks you give the player, the more the player can learn about it and put to practice.
Suppose Bethesda's PR department wasn't run by absolute morons and for nuDoom's announcement E3 they'd show embed related for the gameplay, which shows someone absolutely fucking bulldozing the game and it's impressive as all hell to see. Everyone would be like "I want to play like that guy", but instead they just showed some boring meandering around as gameplay. Unfortunately, embed related was the product of someone being really bored, nobody else will play like embed related because there isn't anything in the game encouraging you to do so because of safety nets for casuals everywhere so they can get away with playing like shit, on top of the game itself being one massive boring slog and mechanical mess.

NuDoom's fresh take on the FPS concept definitely feels truly like something a japanese developer would do. However, it's also that "fresh take" that made it feel boring and inferior. Like glory kill, it's indeed something fresh, but it somehow takes away the satisfaction of killing enemies by your own hands alone.

Yes, and the western market has barely scratched the surface of JRPGs. It's almost like different demographics lean towards different ideals.
As for the rest of your post, that comes down to publishers, as I've said.
You've got outliers like Dusk which just copy a bunch of other games and add a layer of paint. That can be enjoyable, but there isn't a terrible amount of innovation.
Aside from such outliers, the reason development stagnates is because of CEOs reading graphs and dictating what sells money. They rarely want to take a gamble on a new idea and want to sell what is proven to work.
From an economic standpoint, that's the best strategy. If you're selling bricks, you keep selling bricks. You don't expand out into the fruit market, because you don't know if your target audience of brick enthusiasts enjoys fruit anywhere near the level of bricks, so you don't take the risk.
You're right on skill ceilings, also. But, again, publishers that control these studios and their funding say "don't add extra shit that takes time to learn, just give them everything at the start and add no proficiency to it, because it appeals to more people, then they finish the game faster and move to the next one".

Again, rarely is it the devs that are forcing such cookie-cutter games. No sane creative person wants to create the same thing again and again, but the devs making the FIFA games are doing it because they are told to by EA and they don't get much of a chance to do otherwise.

At least you faggots understand this. People these days think "RPG" just means "it has levels and stats you increase as you gain experience!" I had to explain what an RPG actually was to my brother last week, and he asked me "so it's not an RPG if the player character isn't a blank slate?" And I said essentially yes. Nip RPGs all throw you into the already predefined role of a character who already has a predefined arc ahead of them, you make no choices at all regarding their development except for maybe some combat skills (which in most JRPGs are constrained to specific types already; a warrior-like archetype at the start of the game will only ever be a smash 'em bash 'em type the entire game).
On a side note, the one thing I hate most about JRPGs is the Nips' obsession with insisting shit is grindy as fuck. Like Asians have a goddamn fetish for wasting tons of hours watching Numbers Going Up to progress on to further areas. I've tried to like a number of JRPGs Tales of Symphonia was actually pretty fucking fun but again, no roleplay, but most of the time I burn out by the 30th hour.

The Japanese have a fascination with fate, like the Red String. There's also the two terms, which I forget, for speaking your true mind versus speaking for the betterment of society as a whole, regardless of how it affects you. They don't care as much about your choices, they care about the overall wellbeing of nation/world versus the individual, who is more of a tool to be used by society at large.
The Japanese psyche, for lack of a better word, is quite interesting when you apply it look at their video games. I know there's that screencap floating around explaining how the Christian missionaries influenced their constant motif in games of killing God. Things like that are quite interesting from a cultural perspective.
>>14511693
Kingdom Come has more roleplaying that any RPG that instantly springs to mind instantly. You can go off into a quiet village and life out a day like everyone else.
RPGs by nature of being video games don't allow you to RP correctly.
Until you have an RPG that allows me to fuck off from the main story and spend 100+ hours doing mindnumbing and boring tasks that NPCs do very day, like cooking, cleaning, chopping wood, hunting and skinning game, fishing etc etc, you can't RP.
Take, for instance, Space Station 13. You're given lots of different tools and a vague description of what to do. You can follow this job and go file papers for cargo requisitions, or you can go off into a dark tunnel and start up a cult worshipping a poster of a Xenomorph while wearing animal furs.
Granted, this RP comes from both game mechanics and the fact you're working with other players who add unpredictability at every step. Modern games and the near-future of development won't allow for that level of random chance because it would have to be written into the code, making it a static event.

I'm not really thrilled with this development. It basically says that developers have figured they've taken the genre into the wrong direction so they're jumping back 20 years and starting from scratch. Instead of actually taking to heart the lessons learned from Doom and improving upon them, Quake, Duke Nukem et al, they're just fetishizing them and making pale imitations that lack the charm and creativity of their inspirations.
>>14511748
Problem with jRPGs is that they started with Wizardry and then over time chiseled away all the mechanical complexity and character creation aspects from it.
Also, I disagree with the idea an RPG with a predefined character isn't an RPG. In virtually every cRPG game to date you do end up play a predefined role, if not a predefine character, which shapes the entire narrative and your choices. I actually think having a predefined character is a better idea for games simply because it allows for the creation of more unique choices, instead of having to provide as broad as strokes as possible to cover as many archetypes.

This.
A game with a basic backstory and a basic ending is much more enjoyable that one with no rhyme or reason as to why you do what you do.
Take Minecraft as an example. You're completely isolated from story and can make up your own IC reason for what's happening, but you don't, because it's not a roleplaying game.
As well as roleplaying being "choosing your own role", it needs aspects of "this is your role", because otherwise, it's just a sandbox with no clear and defined rules for the world around you, which is just empty from a narrative perspective, and the narrative is what brings out the roleplaying.

That's complete bullshit. There's plenty of Japanese games that give a lot of freedom to the player to shape the narrative. Hell, VNs are built on this very premise, to the exclusion of every other aspect of gameplay.
>I know there's that screencap floating around explaining how the Christian missionaries influenced their constant motif in games of killing God
They did that by being complete kikes and trying to drag the nation into another civil war just after they ended the 100+ year long previous one, and got kicked the fuck out of the country for their contributions. Nips hate Christians because they, rightfully, view them as a subversive element. There's also the fact they don't treat their own religion any better. Just how many anime, manga and games feature Japanese deities, mythological creatures and stories and either lewd them up or twist them beyond recognition?

You're right, I suppose I should alter it from "blank slate" to "partial blank slate." The point is that it can't be a fully developed character, because if it is, then you can't make any meaningful choices of your own within the skin of that character, because they'd only ever do things a certain way. Can they be a white knight or a psychotic killer? No, only one of those things because the other choice would be out of character? Then it's not an RPG, technically. The blank slate concept still comes into play; to what extent is the question.
>>14511772
>You can't play but one character, which has been predetermined by vagvra
If you can play the game and determine the kind of person Henry IS, then it's an RPG. Can you play as Henry and roleplay to make the dude a complete homicidal maniac who is arrogant and rude to everyone he comes across? Can you make him a paragon of virtue of m'ladyism? Can you play as a tired beaten down dude who sighs as he trods through life going through the motions of doing his duty? If you can CHOOSE the kind of person he is, it doesn't matter that the springboard of the "starting characterization" is there; it's an RPG. If you can't make meaningful choices and the game basically railroads you into Henry acting and saying certain things a certain way because they're forcing him to be a certain person, then you'd be right.

That's just vavra's gay fetish for menial tasks, not because he intentionally put them as RPG mechanics. Just look at Mafia and Hidden and Dangerous 2. The point is an RPG should let you fully interact with and even abuse the game world, but for gameplay reasons, to have all meaningless chores contained within it isn't necessary. Same reason why "video game logic" exists, because we shouldn't need to care about boring real life chores unless that's what your autistic idea of fun is.

Of course, but the way Kingdom Come did it was tedious. Ultima VII let you do a lot of shit as well, Fallout 2 made you do stuff like cleaning cow shit, but the activity was mostly text based so it wasn't as boring. Another thing is, being able to do anything with the game world is enjoyable as long as it's within the game's core mechanics.

Amid Evil looks like it might be fun, but in general I'm getting really sick of these games which are not inspired by anything except previous video games.
Building off of Amid Evil, since I already mentioned it, this is a game which began with the idea "Let's make a new game that's like Heretic or Quake." Now, let's think for a moment about how Quake and Heretic were designed. Heretic was designed with the idea, "Let's make a game that's like a heavy metal album cover come to life." Quake was originally designed with the idea of, "Let's make a Gothic-Lovecraftian first person action game," it was only made into a shooter later because everyone except Romero wanted to bank on a safer game design. It's just evident that these games are derivative, often to the point of doing stupid shit simply because the older game did it. The neon blue flashing when you pick up items is a great example. In Doom and Quake, this was a yellow-biege color that only flashed for a frame or two, it was a low-contrast color that didn't annoy the player. In this game, it's a fucking fading flash that lasts for at least several frames and it's neon blue. Why? Did you really think this wasn't annoying as fuck? Thankfully from what I understand they added an option to turn it off, but decisions like these make it really evident that a lot of these moron developers just shut off their brains and ape their favorite game instead of trying to come up with something inspired.

>While Christians were fearful of "the devil" and "sin", the Japanese openly mocked their spirits and entities to keep them in check. If anything, their warping of spirits in anime and other forms is just a natural progression of this mentality.
Your argument goes to shit when you realize that their gods and spirits did punish them for their behavior, and they did have their own version of hell. You're clearly talking out of your ass about every point, and they're all easily disproved.

Mainly that most don't actually believe in it. Nips are weird, they're kinda like a lot of Orthodox people in that regard - in that they uphold the traditions without actually believing in the theological aspects.
That said, if you view Shinto-Buddhism closer to European paganism then you get a much closer comparison. If you look at European paganism you see much of the same treatment of gods/spirits.
The Buddhism side injects interesting ideas but it's otherwise quite typical of polytheistic paganism.

Story is fairly linear but the way you can go about it isn't in the least.
Also, you can kinda affect the main quest and various side-quests ahead of time. Like if you do a certain sidequest now, you can open up new options in later quests which is pretty neat and very few games do that.

Well there is, the maps are pretty huge and the build engine might have trouble with that. They fixed a lot of slowdowns with better coding and object placement and so on. Thing is they can add whatever they want to the engine because it's open-source, so I'm guessing all that shit will be fixed quite fast.
It will have modding support, that's been said already.
I'm also hoping for voxel support like Blood and Shadow Warrior had, that shit is pretty nifty.

Yeah, it is. That Diablo clone was first a Duke game but thanks to Gearbox they had to change that and used this cunt instead. I remember the teasers they had with typical Duke shit, because 3D Realms thought they still could use Duke before Gearbox started to fuck around.

In 6DoF games you can move up/down, left/right, and forwards/backwards. However, if you move at multiple axes at once, your speed will be higher than if you were to move along a single axis because the combined vectors of each movement direction aren't normalized. In a lot of games you can move slightly faster if you move diagonally which is also called bichording. But in 6DoF games you can move on three axes simultaneously, the effect is amplified, so if you were to move up, forwards, and left at the same time while turning towards your destination, your movement speed would be 30% higher than if you were to move normally.
In Descent, being able to trichord was one of the many key skills necessary in multiplayer run rings around your opponent, and what set apart aces from rookies. But given the limited turning speed in Descent, trichording would also limit your aim, so being able to trichord and aim accurately at the same time is what some Jedi only could pull off. It's similar to bunnyhopping in Quake as far as movement techniques are concerned.
I'm not sure what the other anon means with it not being intuitive, I haven't really seen anyone complaining about it.

I'm the most excited for Overload however, because Descent is amazing and this game would definitely scratch my itch for 6DoF games.

I looked up Ion Maiden and there's a post about, I'm assuming the female main character, of how she was designed over the past 20 years (in relation to Duke Nukem). She looks insanely ugly, and the pictures drawn in the 90's/2000's were nice. Drawn in current year the girl looks ugly. Steer clear, they designed a character to cater to feminists. Duke Nukem was all about sexualization, if you are going to ignore this, then you won't get anyone's money.

The problem is that sex appeal doesn't exist in a vacuum, now devs have to fight many forces to make what they want. If everyone else would simply make the kind of characters they wanted to see, than that would be the end of it, but it's more about runing it for male than it is about balance.

The dominant theory among doctors is that rising rates of allergies and other autoimmune disorders are a result of our cleanly modern lifestyle.

Obviously, having people intentionally infest their children with bugs burrowing under their skin would be an excessive measure, but attempts to isolate safe "sensitizing" agents, acting somewhat similarly to how vaccines train our immune system, could be the best answer.
