After 17 years, we finally have a new great FPS with a female protagonist.
- Thread starter SofNascimento

"Perfect Dark Zero is bad cuz I said so" is the opposite of a solid reason dude
What negative consequences are there for picking your character?
This.
Also, i was excited for IF because it looked cool (not because gender) but couldnt get into it. Enemy design was repetitive, levels a bit bland and the one liners too forced, had to refund it. So yea..
Played it a few years after release. Not terrible. Not outstanding, but not terrible.
Ultimately I just don't understand why the need is always felt on this website to promote one game by insulting others. This could have literally just been a thread called "a great new female led FPS is out" and it would have been better for it.
Wasn't it a launch title? Scoring tends to be a little lax on those.
Here's the trailer:
And yes, it's an excellent homage to that era of late 90's FPS's and the main lead is one cool customer. I'm more partial to Dishonour 2's Emily Kaldwin, who is still tops for being my favourite female lead in a modern AA video game.

sorry yes those first two are specifically what i meant, i don't know the others.
Duke wasn't even funny in the 90s unless you were 12, we're better off without him
Well, the OP did say "great FPS". :)
Yeah, but you have the option to shoot. So it still counts as an FPS.

You're so correct.
That's not really an answer to my post...
regardless, I dare say a lot of people would are with me that PDZ is not a great FPS.
This looks pretty fun, but I just don't get some of it conceptually. I don't mind using old school graphics, but the weird/stilted animation for shooting and reloading should just remain in the past. The reason that stuff existed was because there were technical limitations. I don't understand purposefully going backwards. It probably takes more effort to do animation that poor now than it does to make it fluid.
P.S. NOLF 2 = still one of the GOATs.
And I can find a bunch of people who would not agree with you what's your point? Either way it's a subjective analysis
Also I gave you a real answer which you conveniently ignored a few posts up
I have heard good things about Hedon, another recent retro indie FPS, but it isnt as famous as Dusk, Amid Evil and Ion Fury.
The protagonist isnt human, tho.

I answered all your points.
But as I mentioned on the op, I believe you're partially right. Some stretches were needed to created this thread, true enough. But I think they're smaller than most people might imagine at first glance. The Metroid Prime situation is the only big one, calling PDZ not great is a very small one and not calling Isolation a FPS is no stretch at all.
You still haven't answered my core point
Why make it a competition or whatever this is in the first place? Why did you need to title this thread anything more than "Hey heres this new game"
Why the needless provocation
OP

This is actually using the Duke 3d engine from 1996. Its not mimicking old graphics, it actually uses that engine.

It was literally quoted in that same post holy shit
Theres no helping you
No opinion on the first and last ones, but Dishonored is not an FPS.

OP
You mean the subjective thing? Caused I already answer that and said I think you're right.
Because the thread title states in the last 17 years and Perfect Dark came out in 2000, perhaps?
No dude the part about why you even made this thread under an inherently needlessly competitive premise from the jump.
Theres zero reason this thread should not have been "A great female led FPS is coming out". Adding "The first great" is pointlessly provocative and insulting to other games. It served no benefit except for trying to force a competition that should not exist when we need as many female led games as possible
The problem is that there's multiple companies claiming to own it. That's why it can't even get a rerelease.

Oh that... I hope you're wrong because I just wanted to make a small little fun thread, say how much I love NOLF and make more people aware of Ion Fury. I did think it could be a little insulting to Young Blood but I can live with that.
Fair enough. Maybe I'm being too harsh on you but it seems like it's a constant thing on ERA. No one can ever seem to promote one game without bashing another
I sort of feel this way too about Era threads sometimes, and at first glance this thread seems like another example.
But I do kind of feel like I get where the OP might be coming from. The specific asterisks the OP laid out feel unnecessarily reductive initially. On the other hand, video games have traditionally had problems putting women in roles that ask of them the same violence expected of male protagonists, which I think is where the "Portal/Mirror's Edge/Metroid Prime don't count" restrictions come from a bit. Like, those are all great games, but they sort of dodge the notion of giving a woman a gun and letting her go to town. (I think you can make a case for this not being true of Metroid Prime, though.)
I think this thread would've worked better as "Ion Fury shows women can be the star of FPSes again!" but I think I understand why the thread took this specific approach and I don't think it was necessarily a bad angle.
Just because a game has first person view and a gun you might shoot does not make it an FPS.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis allows you to fist fight Nazis. It's not a brawler either.
Perfect Dark Zero.
PDZ got good reviews. Even if singe-player did not deliver, its multiplayer, graphics and soundtrack were solid.

Sure but that's a thematic consideration not a quality consideration. There's a big distinction between that and claiming this is the 1st female led great shooter as if any other shooters were inherently bad.
OP even admits they were okay with this thread indirectly insulting Wolfenstein Youngblood and I'm just like...why
FUCK. Just after saying how the soundtrack got me interested in another thread. I am listening to it right now for blood's sake.
Meta of around 81 is usually the norm for "game in popular franchise that disappointed lots of fans" anyway
See FFXV and XIII at 81 and 83, Metroid Other M at 79...
I mean...if the game is solely from the first person perspective and the primary weapon type is something you shoot, it is literally a first person shooter.
For example, Metroid Prime is a FPS since the core gameplay mechanic is, you know, shooting from a first person perspective.
