Returning to modern gaming...

I'm looking for something modern in the style of Doom or Quake, Unreal, etc. Preferably on Steam or other downloadable site. Any suggestions? Thanks.
 
Not quite in the same style but Dishonored has a bit of that old school feel to it and as a quake, etc. player you'd probably appreciate it and with the knife of dunwall + brigmore witches DLCs theres quite a bit of content to get through starting from scratch.
 
Rise of the Triad.

Shadow Warrior 2013.

Hard Reset.

Alien Rage.


Check out TotalBiscuit's youtube channel for reviews on these games.

Shadow Warrior coming soon to PC, if you like the original, DN3D and Blood etc.

Been playing Shadow Warrior Classic Redux lately, gotta love Build engine games

e: Appears I have been in a time dilation bubble and it's already out. BRB
 
Ah blood the evil dead, etc. quotes really made that game :D

I *liked* Blood (my peripherals didn't) and Duke Nukem 3D, but Shadow Warrior dialogue is so amazingly rubbish, it's genius.

"Oh look, you coming apart!" or "you half the man you used to be" after slashing a someone in half
"Oh, faggot rabbit, hehe" while watching rabbits hump
"You drop soap, bend over and pick it up, hehe" and "you want to wash Wang or watch Wang wash wang?" while watching an anime chick shower

Hope the new one is as irreverently silly, fed up of American docu-soap drama games tbh

U NO MESS WITH LO WANG!

What, you mean it is not a bland linear hand lead special effects tour, but instead has interestingly crafted levels with lots of interesting stuff to do?

....those were the days eh?
 
Hard Reset is a decent old school style FPS. Looks great,l and runs great too. It can get a bit frustrating sometimes because it is quite difficult compared modern games.
 
Painkiller series and the duke nukem megaton edition via steam is really enjoyable, granted its not all shiny graphics but still fun.

Shadow warrior is worth a look too
 
Bulletstorm and Serious Sam 3 BFE

SS starts slowly, but later on; has loads of AI to kill....the last level is extremely hard :D.

i'm not sure about Alien Rage, because this is a modern take on an old school shooter, the AI kills you very easily; because from what i've read it's a hard game to play !!!

this strikes me as ``tactical linear``, you'll have to use cover, you wont be able to charge through it like Sam, this might be the way some shooters go....tactical old school.
