For example, I didn’t fall in love with Titanfall 2’s environmental art design—it felt a bit generic to me, like it was meant to be the backdrop for a shooter, as opposed to the Sevastopol in A:I or the station in SOMA that felt like existing locations.
Ditto BioShock: Infinite. The world felt like it was built around the premise of being an arena shooter, not the other way around.
BioShock 1 & 2 are exactly what I’m talking about though.
Even Borderlands 2 has great world-building: the corporate history that can be inferred from the level design, the weapons & the NPCs makes it one of the richer games I’ve played.
Would love to hear others’ thoughts on your favorite FPS environments!
Well you just bloody sold me on DOOM 3, adding it to the wishlist immediately
Get the bfg edition, its the full edition one, comes with its expansion pack and with an extra mission and doom 1 and 2 as a bonus. Its probably the only one you can find but im telling you just in case. Have a happy demon hunting.
Shit, and it comes with the first two games for $4?? Purchased and downloaded. Thanks for the suggestion!
