FPS games have evolved a lot over the course of my life.
Battlefield 1942, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and Call of Duty 3.
They were stuck in the past, made by men obsessed with the glory and horror of yesteryear.
Halo was the shooter of the future, and the Combat Evolved subheading made sure everyone knew it.
But we didn’t leap into the world of tomorrow straight away.
Shooters then tried to have their cake and eat it, too.
Call of Duty regularly flipped between the Cold War, Vietnam, and the future as well.
Battlefield also went ahead to 2042.
Maybe I just got old and couldn’t keep up with the kids.
The video even uses the theme from Battlefield 3, showing this is an intentional callback.
Even non-shooters like Need For Speed have seen success in recent years by going back to what fans know.
Heat and Unbound returned the series' focus to street racing, neon-soaked streets, and hip hop.
This is a game with Chug Jugs and llamas and other nonsense of courseGodzilla is hitting the Griddy.
Tonally, not everything gets the same pass.
