Old and out of the loop gamer here - used to love FPS games but quit playing them when Counterstrike was new.
What’s uh… what’s going on? I keep seeing trailers for new FPS games that look like they’re running the original Doom or Rise of the Triad engines.

these graphics seem like Quake 1 to me. Maybe the focus is on fun?
It looks like a good time
This one literally runs on Quake 1 engine (albeit improved)
