A newDoom, one of the granddaddies of the genre, is on the horizon.
These are the forgotten 90s first-person shooters that deserve a remake.
Jumping Flash!
And we all know that Sony could use a killer app for that peripheral.
And it featured a really awesome soundtrack.
Despite strong reviews, sales were below expectations.
Keep in mind that this was still a year beforeGoldenEye 007on the N64.
Gamers really werent used to first-person shooters on consoles.
Just look atRed Dead Redemption.
Despite its novel gameplay ideas, and being well reviewed upon release, its largely forgotten now.
X-Men The Ravages of Apocalypsewas one such total conversion forQuake, and its pretty insane in hindsight.
Its not the best FPS or even the bestQuaketotal conversion.
Yes, its a sprite-based shooter set in the American South with all the stereotypical jokes youd expect.
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division (1998)
Timing is everything in the video game market.
In theory, Shogo: Mobile Armor Division had everything going for it.
The developer, Monolith Productions, was coming off of several successful projects, including the FPSBlood.
The graphics were top-notch for the time.
And the shooting felt really solid, with the action taking place either on foot or inside a mech.
But,Shogohad the bad luck of releasing in the shadow ofHalf-Life.
It really didnt matter what the game did at that point.
But a remake could definitely giveShogoits due now.
But there is some potential here.
It even included voices from the show, though they repeat way too often.
Running on the first iteration of the Unreal Engine, it still looks sharp today.
