This Day in FPS History 20 years ago today, iD Software released the most divisive, or maybe just the most misunderstood entry in the #DOOM franchise: DOOM 3. Realizing the horror aspects the OG already heavily implied to the fullest, most love it or hate it.

This Day in FPS History 25 years ago today, #Xatrix set us on a path of vengeance against a crime syndicate and its #Kingpin. Extremely brutal, with a host of profanity and a pretty banger soundtrack by Cypress Hill, it sure was an experience. What do you remember from the OG?

Reload Magazine @reload-magazine.net · 22/06/2024

This Day in FPS History 28 years ago today, idSoftware released #Quake. While the world is holding its breath, waiting for a new entry in the series, let's just celebrate this undisputed milestone in the world of FPS and gaming in general! What's your favorite OG Quake memory?

This Day in FPS History 28 years ago today, iD Software, Dario and Milo Casali, and the late Ty Haldemann of TeamTNT brought us 64 new maps with #FinalDOOM's TNT:Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment, dividing the fanbase quite a bit. Have you pistol-started all of Plutonia yet?

Reload Magazine @reload-magazine.net · 10/06/2024

This Day in FPS History 13 years ago today, Gearbox made it out of development hell and released #DukeNukemForever. Reception was lackluster and fans disappointed, especially with its 2001 E3 demo in mind. But is it really such a bad game? What did you like about DNF?

Reload Magazine @reload-magazine.net · 05/06/2024

This Day in FPS History 22 years ago today, #4DRulers picked a bad time to release an, admittedly mid, arena multiplayer shooter. But then again, #Gore lets you unload a quad-shotty on chainsaw-wielding skeletons, that's got to count for something. Were you the ultimate soldier?

Reload Magazine @reload-magazine.net · 01/06/2024

This Day in FPS History 20 years ago today, Starbreeze Entertainment and Tigon Studios proved that games based on movie IPs can actually be... pretty amazing. The Chronicles of #Riddick: Escape from #ButcherBay's playstyles and compelling story are something to be experienced. Have you?

This Day in FPS History 22 years ago today, British dev studio #RageSoftware switched soccer balls for rocket launchers, releasing #MobileForces. While being one of the few of it's kind to offer vehicle gameplay, the mark it left is comparably small. Did it leave one on you?

This Day in FPS History 30 years ago today, David Gray graced us with the FPS version of his original Hugo adventure series, #Nitemare3D. More than reminiscent of Wolfenstein 3D in its presentation, it's an interesting sidestep into the horror adventure genre. Did it spook you?

This Day in FPS History 27 years ago today, #XatrixEntertainment introduced us to Leonard and Bubba and set us on the path to rescue Bessie the pig and fight an alien invasion in #RedneckRampage. While it being jank in many a way, I still have a fondness for it. How about you?

This Day in FPS History 27 years ago today, #LucasArts put the Jedi Engine to its second - and last - use, releasing the magnificent Wild West FPS #Outlaws. Fun gameplay mixed with lovely cutscenes should make this a classic, but it seems to be an unsung one. Have you played it?

This Day in FPS History 24 years ago today, RavenSoftware redefined FPS violence, stirring quite a controversy with #SoldierOfFortune. This very well-designed game does not just rely on it's 26-zone GHOUL-damage system, but still, let me ask: What's your favorite shot to take?

This Day in FPS History: 29 years ago today, the Mech Shooter #MetalHead graced none other than the Sega 32X with its release, not long after Doom. A fully 3D shooter, it was impressive technically, but didn't leave much of an impression on the gaming side. Did you play it?
