Shadow Warrior Teaser Trailer (PC, PS4, Next Gen Xbox)

I was just talking with a friend about old game characters that would not work in today's more evolved, politically correct climate. Lo Wang was one of them. What a surprise reboot, proving me wrong :P

I dont think that they are gonna put nude chicks hidden everywhere.
 
I've heard good things about Hard Reset, but also that it's just a bunch of hitscan enemies and guys that constantly charge at you?

so it's a fps then?

seriously though, for people who remember when thats all fps's were, hard reset becomes a god send.
 
I just played through Heretic this weekend. God damn, what happened to the good ol' push-the-wall level design? Every single map is filled with tons of secret areas and they are so much fun to play.

Well Witcher 1 had sex cards so don't underestimate Polish devs :)

Our country isn't overrun by political corectness obsession.

Polish devs + the publisher whose public persona is Fork Parker, the guy who said he would use the proceeds from Serious Sam 3 to get his wife a tit job.

EDIT: Nevermind, blame DD for that decision. It was made before FWH was even a part of it.

“We discussed that, and that’s just a decision that had to be made. Before we even talked to Flying Wild Hog, that was the decision,” Lowrie said.

Uh oohw..well that sucks.

Yeah, not that I approve of racism or sexism, I just think at some point the racial and gender humor goes so over-the-top into the absurd that it just becomes a parody of actual racism and sexism rather than being a part of it. Unfortunately I don't think a lot of people can make that distinction and are just too easily offended to take the risk.

So people get offended. Let them, if you want to do a remake you do it properly, not a half-assed cop-out like this.

Oh yeah, if it was up to me I'd say "fuck 'em." But unless you have a dev team comprised entirely of Asian women I don't think they'd be able to get away with a Shadow Warrior's humor.

Next game to remake? Blood

Or how about Hexen/Heretic

Ugh, I hope none of those games get remade.
Blood could use a source port but Hexen and Heretic work in ZDoom so there's no reason to try to desecrate those franchises with some crappy remake.

90s shooters were linear as fuck though. But you're right about the checkpoints, that sucked.

Believe it or not, FPS existed before Half-Life came out.

Shadow Warrior reboot keeps setting and katana, ditches sexism, racism, and MP

“Our previous game [Hard Reset] went along with the old school design. It was a no-cover shooter, a fast-paced shooter,” Jan Bartkowicz, the lead writer at Flying Wild Hog, explained. “You could get attacked by a mass of enemies. The game play loop was more focused on finding the right tool for a particular job, rather than just going from Point A to Point B to Point C.”
Shadow Warrior is also being designed in that way; it’s not revolutionary as much as it’s a look back at how shooters used to be. You’ll be able to carry all the weapons in the game at the same time, you’ll be attacked by a large number of enemies, and they don’t care about cover.

Argh! Another simplified Painkiller posing as an old-school FPS.
 
Kinda Hilarious that they mention that the enemies in this game won't use cover when the enemies in the original actually did use cover.
I remember noticing this when I played it back in the day.
Yep, this sounds to be Shadow Warrior in name only. Not very excited anymore.
 
I don't understand the point in releasing a new Shadow Warrior game. If the character has to be changed to make him suitable for inclusion in a game nowadays, then why not create a new character (and a new IP). If you wanted Shadow Warrior without the racist/sexist jokes back when Shadow Warrior was released, then wouldn't you have just played Blood, instead?

I've never played this game, it looks like it came out years before Tomb Raider, I don't know if the same people worked on it, and it would be a hell of a coincidence.

Again.

Is that supposed supposed to be Lara?

Yes, Lo Wang even mentions that she raided her last tomb.

I have it on GOG. And if you look on Steam it's actually listed, you just can't purchase it. I hope it's a "megaton" type of treatment like Duke did.

My apologies. I think my post might have sounded a bit arrogant or condescending. In fact I didn't know that SW is in the Steam database - it's probably a 'megaton' style treatment like you mention.

I wish GOG had the DN3D Megaton edition since they're otherwise at a potential disadvantage. Whenever I have a choice between GOG or Steam for an identical product, I go with GOG. But if the editions are different that's another matter.
 
Hell yeah! Didn't know I wanted a Shadow Warrior reboot from the guys who made Hard Reset but now I've come to realise that's just the best thing ever.
