Are there are any FPS shooters on the genre of UT (or even Quake3) but modern, not remasters?
I've been missing a lot the frenetic gameplay of those, used to play a lot of UT at a decent level but nowadays I only see tactical FPSs or the likes of Counter-Strike/Battlefield with a high player count.
- belst 11mo agothere are but they are pretty niche, so mostly you play against bots or against friends. This one is the last one I heard of but I also haven't followed the scene much lately: https://store.steampowered.com/app/324810/TOXIKK/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/324810/TOXIKK/
- OccamsMirror 11mo agoTOXIKK was awesome. But very hard to find matches with players.
- pjc50 11mo agoIsn't that what Overwatch/Valorant/Apex/Fortnite etc are?
- piva00 11mo agoOverwatch is a objective-based game, and like Valorant is a "hero shooter". Apex and Fortnite are battle royales. I think the closest I got was The Finals but still class-based, so reminds me more of Team Fortress. I loved playing 1v1 on Quake 2/3 and UT, also team deathmatch, from the list you commented it feels like each game got one of those aspects but none that makes the genre of UT what it is: knowing where weapons/ammo/armor spawn, map knowledge to navigate around, emergent movement mechanics (rocket jumps, strafe-jumping, etc.). Interesting to see this genre mostly died out, and remnants of it have been scattered across other genres.
- loa_in_ 11mo agoNo, these are class based team FPS, core of UT and Quake is (team) deathmatch
- patrickk 11mo agoThe Unreal Tournament series are arena shooters[1] which has sadly died a death, partially due to Epic Games negligence. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena_shooter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena_shooter

- corint 11mo agoNot that I can really think of - there's the adjacent Sauerbraten, but that's a similar vintage!
- crimsoneer 11mo agomaybe Splitgate if that's still alive?
- waysa 11mo agoSplitgate 2 is scheduled to launch later this month.
- mikkupikku 11mo agoDusk is more Quakeish than UTish, but well worth a look. The graphics are deliberately low fidelity 90s retro, but the gameplay is tight.
- K0nserv 11mo agohttps://www.warsow.net/ https://www.warsow.net/ is good and runs on pretty much everything. Plays like a mix between UT and Quake3.
- retsibsi 11mo agoI love Warsow but am I right that it's very hard to find an opponent these days? I just checked https://arena.sh/wa/ https://arena.sh/wa/ and there are 4 non-empty servers, but most (maybe all) of the players seem to be bots.
- K0nserv 11mo agoI haven't played a while so I cannot comment. When I last played I spun up a server for my friend group to play on. This is the beauty of old school games like these, no need to rely on a company to keep servers running. In a way Warsow is the perfect LAN game: everyone can run it and it's easy to host a server.
- hofrogs 11mo agoOpen-source one: Xonotic https://xonotic.org/ https://xonotic.org/
- some-guy 11mo agoThis is the one that I still fire up with my friends once in awhile. The only problem is it sort of lacks the charm and nostalgia, and it's a bit rough around the edges in parts (the gun selection is fairly abysmal and don't feel right IMO).
- petercooper 11mo agoOuting myself as a parent of young kids here, but I have been genuinely surprised how good Hypershot on Roblox is. It reminds me of Unreal Tournament a lot and is really easy to play, I've been hooked for a few weeks. It cuts everything down to the basics like UT without all the bells and whistles modern AAA games have. Oh and it's totally free (but with all the monetization attempts Roblox games tend to have, though they aren't necessary to play even at a high level).
- lgl 11mo agoDiabotical was heavily inspired by Quakeworld/Quake3/UT arena shooter FPS. https://www.diabotical.com https://www.diabotical.com

- phrotoma 11mo agoPlease point me to the nearest meat grinder. I'm jonesing for breakneck speed mayhem!
- ascagnel_ 11mo agoArena shooters have been relegated to side modes in other, bigger games. Probably the last big shooter with that as its focus was Halo: Infinite, but that struggled to stay relevant and its next big update will be its last.
- jval43 11mo agoSplitgate captures the feel nicely. Simple, fast, and last I checked free. Very recommended.
- a-french-anon 11mo agoShootmania was supposed to be it.
- alexchantavy 11mo agoNot really unfortunately. This video goes a bit into why (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-t37idOfvk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-t37idOfvk), but the short version is the skill floor (or ceiling?) was too high, making it unwelcoming for people to just pick up, unlike a COD-like shooter.
- lotsofpulp 11mo agoHalo 3 multiplayer had this solved by maintaining a dynamic rating of the players so that it could match skill levels when random matches were made.
- coupdejarnac 11mo agoTribes 3: Rivals is a load of fun. Flying around on jetpacks helps raise the skill ceiling.
