    Old and out of the loop gamer here - used to love FPS games but quit playing them when Counterstrike was new.

    What’s uh… what’s going on? I keep seeing trailers for new FPS games that look like they’re running the original Doom or Rise of the Triad engines. Somebody help me understand.

      3D Realms, today a publishing label by Embracer Group, focuses on retro games. Just like 10 or so years ago pixel art games had a resurgence, since about 5 years old school FPS games came back as well. This is both a path to reduce workload as well as a gameplay design choice.

      3D Realms’ annual event, Realms Deep, is the biggest showcase for such games.
