2017 was a fine year for the retro FPS genre, and 2018 is already off to a strong start. Among a slew of exciting titles due for release over the next few months (including Quake-meets-Blood mashup Dusk and Descent reprisal Overload), it seems that Samuel 'Kaiser' Villarreal, the coding brain behind Nightdive's Turok updates and many others has been working on something pretty exciting.
First released in 1998 and accompanied by a bafflingly non-sequitur ad campaign, Forsaken was an early 3D-accelerated take on the Descent '6 Degrees of Freedom' FPS genre with a faster, more arcadey twist, and now it's coming back.
Kaiser and his EX series of ports prove that classic games don't die. They just need a little spit n' polish and they're good as new. Here's some other PC classics, many of which have their own modern modding and porting scenes.
You can see the first few screenshots of Forsaken EX here on Twitter, direct from the developer. For those who haven't played it, it's a lot like seminal 6DOF shooter Descent, although faster and louder and with a hell of a lot more coloured lighting, showing off the early 3D acceleration tech of the era.
