Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - W40K boomer shooter

[Louis_Cypher]

A 40K boomer shooter has the potential to be great.

 

[Humbaba]

Looks like the Bolter may be the "main", all purpose weapon, which is unusual for a boomer shooter, normally it's a shotgun.

 

[Fedora Master]

Oh fuck off with this fad chasing.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Looks like poor man's Prodeus.

 

[Multidirectional]

Enough of this pixel art garbage already.

 

[randir14]

A game that looks like it was built on the Quake 2 engine during early 3D accelerators would've been more fitting. Not every retro shooter needs to be pixelated.

 

[Softgels]

It reminds me this game.

 

[Fedora Master]

It reminds me this game.

Fire Warrior had better bolters. Ironically.

also from the longer steam description:

Play a battle-hardened Space Marine on a perilous mission across the galaxy, as they battle against the Chaos Space Marines and daemons of Chaos.

 

[orcinator]

I'll give them a cookie for showing some old models in line with the retro theme, though they could have earned another one if they had GREEN BASES.

 

[Curratum]

Available 2023. Which, given the industry standard of the past 2-3 years, means available sometime in 2025, hopefully.

 

[karoliner]

I really wish this whole retro fad go away.

 

[Curratum]

You all need to stop screeching and cringing about retro-styled shooters.

They are INFINITELY faster, cheaper and easier to produce and as a nice bonus you often times end up with very passable gameplay because they try to emulate the good old ones.

I would assume "they" refers to Space Marines, plural, but GW being what they are, this could very well be the first FPS starring a troon.

Why is it the fucking smurfs again, can't they feature an actually fun chapter like the Black Templars or the Hospitaliers?

Also, Trench Foot is the 40k FPS we deserve.

 

[AndyS]

I won't turn my nose up at it, might be a good game, but the nostalgia angle of the trailer does nothing for me. I don't like these kind of games because of nostalgia. I like them because it's a style of game that never should have gone out of style but which the industry buried because they were too busy chasing the latest fad, and now they're latching onto "boomer shooters" as another fad.

 

[Morpheus Kitami]

I don't have much thought on the game itself, but corporations latching onto a trend is usually a bad sign for the trend.

[Baron Dupek]

I rather play Fire Warrior at this point

 

[Lyric Suite]

They are sort of driving this retro boomer fad to the ground, aren't they.

warhammer ruins everything, this time ruining ruining things

You cannot drive something great into the ground.
There can never be too much of something great.

Just look at it like this:
No doubt this time, too, shall pass. And when it does, we'll still have all those great retro FPS that we never had the time to play when they were "fresh".

I am no native english speaker but I thought you use "they" when you don't know the gender? So instead of writing "he/she/it", you write "they"? I also do not know anything about WH lore but I assume, as it is old stuff, that there are only men in the army? My assumption is that they don't care and you can pick a gender at the start, and therefore "they".

There's really two alternatives.

Either they're saying they, as in, all the Space Marines, are fighting against traitors and daemons, or the SM is a troon.

As for the Space Marines, they're all men since the procedure only works on males.
