Sublevel zero is a 6DOF roguelike that I enjoyed.
Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game?
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 days agoIt really is insane how there really aren’t a whole lot of 6DOF games when Descent was such a huge success. The only way to really get that kinda action most of the time is with space sims like Elite Dangerous; and it’s not really the same being out in open space vs tiny mine shafts and cramped space stations.

I think that part of the problem is that there aren’t that many settings where it makes sense. Descent worked because you were supposed to be on low-gravity asteroids to justify the zero-G environment. That also means that it has to be in space and in the future. It had to be in mines, to justify the scale.
I was playing Starfield and one of the moments there that I was impressed — most of the combat isn’t all that new — was in a zero-G gunfight on a space station (the Almagest or whatever the space casino is), where gunfire was sending objects flying around and riccocheting all over and thinking "it’s odd that more games haven’t done zero-G first-person shooters. But…when you think about how limited the settings are where it really makes sense, I think it’s understandable.
I mean, I guess you could create a fantasy world and just throw up your hands and say, “it’s all magic” or something, but…

Shattered Horizon was fucking sick as hell until they started messing with classes and eventually just broke the game entirely. It was a NASA Punk zero G FPS made by a benchmark app company with fairly realistic bullet physics. Balance was basically just using the shotgun mode on your gun since you’re in space there’s no drop or damage falloff making it able to snipe a wall of bullets at people a few kilometers away 🤣

‘Critical Depth’ is an underwater vehicular shooter for PlayStation 1, with movement in any direction, though still having the up-down axis. Basically underwater ‘Twisted Metal’, from the same studio.

There’s a vr game called lone echo/lone echo 2 for quest but i def played it on index. It’s zero-g fps and it reminded me of the game they play in Enders game, the whole “the enemy teams gate is down” thing.
