Isn'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
