This is the first I'm hearing that Wolfenstein is not an fps. Why isn't an fps?
Edit: The 1992 Wolfenstein 3d is definitely a first person shooter. The 1981 Castle Wolfenstein is not made by iD and is not a first person shooter. This article looks almost like it was made by chatgpt or someone putting in very little effort for it to be so off in the first sentence.
Just watch some Civvie 11 videos if you want to hear some history of FPS games and boomer shooters in particular.

Yeah, this user just does nothing but spam overly-long poorly-written diatribes about boomer shooters on what I'm guessing is their own instance then crossposts them here. Not worth the time or effort to read - I just went ahead and blocked them to try to clean my feed up a bit.
Thank you for the heads up. I thought something was very off about this.

Good call. I love boomer shooters but that's just spam.
How is Boltgun a "YOU MUST PLAY THIS" and not Cultic? Sure, Boltgun is fine but Cultic is an actual masterpiece.
That Amid Evil game looks dope I'm playing that.
I'm disappointed to not see any mention of Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengeance of the Slayer. It's hilarious and definitely one of my favorite games of the year so far.
One of the problems I see with this community on lemmy.world…
lemmy.world is one of the largest lemmy sites. Yet when you look in this community, no body interacts. Most posts have no upvotes ore one downvote… nobody comments… it’s dead in here. From the outside it looks like this is where gaming conversation goes to die.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you should write an article on it.
I won’t even bother cross posting here anymore because an article that takes hours to write and time to assemble to look good, about the next six boomer shooters coming out over the next six months gets a downvote, no posts, and disappears into the ether…
Where on two other active game communities it’s upvoted and talked about, which gives me a reason to post.
