I was having a discussion with some friends and a question came up: what truly separates a boomer shooter from say…a modern shooter.
At first, this was easy. No regenerating health, no ADS, etc. Then they asked me this question: what about halo CE? Or F.E.A.R? What about games like CULTIC?
If I made a boomer shooter where all the guns had ADS but they also had alt fires, would that count? What about upgrades? What truly defines boomer shooters as a genre?
Do they have to follow old school design philosophies? Or can it take from newer genres (looter shooters, extraction shooters, etc).
