“Boomer shooter” is the latest term to follow the likes of “Roguelike” or “Soulslike” in the realm of hyperspecific gaming subgenres. It applies to first-person shooters that intentionally harken back to the classic PC games of the late ‘90s like Doom and Quake.

Sure wish id would capitalize and develop a true, in house successor to Quake. I actually like Quake Champions, but you can't help wonder what it would be like to have id or Epic put the full force of their development talent behind an arena shooter for the modern era.

I'm sure I'm the only person here that played Quake Enemy Territory. Absolutely loved it. Quake 4 was fun too. It would be nice if they did a Quake... update? Reboot?
