The internet loves roasting “boomers,” the shorthand term for the Baby Boomer generation born in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Admittedly, most boomer shooter fans are likely Gen-Xers and Millennials, but they’re still co-opting the term in a sarcastic but positive way that conveys the old-school nature of this niche genre.
It all comes down to it rolling off your tongue better.
Great article! All to say that if it wasn’t for indie devs, genres like this one would have stayed dead. I’m glad they brought it back. If there’s a market for it, they should make the game. AAA studios only want the highest ROI so they were always unlikely to take the risk on something like this.
I hope the traffic logic gets an improvement. I remember having a lot of weird behavior with lane changes where every car would decide to change lanes at on specific spot on the road and line up to get to that spot.
Looking forward to see what else they’ll be improving on.
I know I know. Just thought it was interesting that they had the same thought process in the article too. 😄
