i think this game is fucking awesome and much closer to what i expected outta doom 3

multiplayer support is coming down the line

 

[Northeastmonk]

it’s like the ultimate DOOM WAD.

 

[Lionel Richie]

The promised boomer shooter, the one that MIGHT surpass DUSK.

Yeah, "alternate reality Doom sequel" is very much the specific vibe they have going here, and they nailed it.

I played a few hours of the beta (backed it on KS) and now I am trying to hold off on early access until it's more complete. What's the current state of it?

Holy shit, this aesthetic is incredible. Had never heard of it, but that trailer sold me. Definitely going to check it out.

 

[Belmonte]

Great OT, man!

I was apprehensive about Prodeus gameplay since the first video I saw. The art style is too cool so I would be heartbroken if the gameplay wasn't good. Fortunately every impression I read is very positive! Can't wait until it leaves early access to buy it.

KirkCollects made an informative preview video about it:

 

[regawdless]

Looks fucking amazing. Wow. Need!

 

[God Enel]

I watched Lirik play this game. fast pace. visceral. graphics are beatufiful

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

It's not done yet, is it? Not bothering with Early Access, but the thing's shaping up nicely. I'll be there for launch.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Been waiting for this for a long time. Will rip and tear into it in 2021.

[The Rain King]

Watched a bit of this on Twitch the other day. It looks incredible. 2D sprites actually look better than the 3D ones. Massive Doom vibes obv.

 

[jufonuk]

Hope this comes to switch.

 

[mansoor1980]

thought parodeus for a second,when will the final version release and it looks great

 

[drganon]

Looks like something civvie11 would make a video about.

 

[makemehappyagain]

I agree

 

[Stuart360]

Man this game is awesome.
Ih anyone knows how to switch to the 3d models for the enemies, let us know. I cant work it out in the settings.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Game looks fantastic, might even pick it up before leaving early access, but no rush to right now.

Well, you are not wrong.

 

[cormack12]

That editor takes me back to map making in GTKRadiant

 

[Krappadizzle]

One of the very few games I've ever kickstarted. So glad with how it's turned out.

 

[silentstorm]

Hope this comes to switch.

Probably, a few of these Boomer Shooters have come to Switch, more than have been released in what was once the FPS console, the XBOX, just saying, DUSK and Amid Evil are on Switch and PC only, so for now it seems that if any console will get a Boomer Shooter, it's the Switch.

 

[Fuz]

Looks fucking fantastic.

 

[Stuart360]

Yeah i wouldnt hold my breath for a Switch port, the game is a lot more demanding than it looks. On my 980ti (with an overclock), the game uses 60-80% gpu usage at 1080p/60.
Its more demanding than Doom 2016, and even Eternal thinking about it lol.

 

[Big Baller]

Boomer shooter? SMFH

 

[regawdless]

When is it out of early access?

 

[Fbh]

Looks amazing.

Already picked up a bunch of stuff due to the various sales and I don't really buy early access stuff, but it's definitely going on the wishlist!

I love oldschool shooters, but one thing I never understood was why they are forcing that low-fi pixelation. I mean you could have it as an option for nostalgics, but why force it. I personally cant stand it, time advanced and so did the graphics. I like oldschool shooters because of the gameplay not how they looked.

Maybe its the fact that I didnt grow up with doom and quake 3 and I started a bit later with the likes of Serious Sam 1, Medal of Honor Allied Assault and Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but I really dont get the forced low-fi. Its why I love Doom 2016 and it has become one of my favorite FPS games ever.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Cut my left mouse-click finger and have it bandaged, making it really hard to play an fps like this.

Alternatively, I could remove the bandage and bleed all over the mouse, which, based on how gory the game's visuals are, is probably the preferred way to play.

I thought I saw an option to adjust the pixelation in an earlier video.

Edit: Yep - watch @2:31:

It's also selling on GOG

The game is good and I hate most of 1st person shooters. Except the old school type like this one.

you have a option to turn off the pixelation in this game so you can enjoy in 3D instead.

 

[DGrayson]

I never thought i would say this but there are JUST TOO MANY GOOD RETRO SHOOTERS NOW! Im feeling overwhelmed.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Boomer shooter? SMFH

You don't like the label or you don't like retro-style shooters?

 

[YuLY]

Interesting so you can turn off pixelation, did not know that, thanks Allnamestakenlol and Barnabot. Definitely interested in this now.

 

[Tesseract]

davidjaffe get itt

 

[Tesseract]

I don't like old-school shooters. Thats why Im rockin a Doomguy avatar.

 

[Cravis]

Game is freaking awesome. I love it. This is the feeling I get playing it.

 

[DGrayson]

[TheSHEEEP]

Will definitely be digging into this one.

* looks at backlog *

As odd as it would seem, I've seen stranger things, so I try not to make assumptions.

Well, you are not wrong.

Shit, didn't know he already did. Guess I must've missed it. I dont always pay attention to YouTube notifications.

 

[mr.dilya]

Was gonna buy it but im not gonna pay 25 bucks for an incomplete game. I see this is the new hustle now. Fuck outta here.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

It looks great, but I hate the focus on the score, it reminds me of that MegaMan clone that crashed a couple of years ago... it's just not something I appreciate.

[SLoWMoTIoN]

My laptop caught on fire. Gonna have to wait for a console release.

At least you're house didn't catch fire.

Did you use titty milk to put it out?
