Wrack Doesn’t Ruin Doom (Hopefully)

[CrAwL]

Wrack is an indie, super-retro FPS very much in the high-speed vein of the original Doom, but pinning proper, and attractively cel-shaded, 3D graphics to those old bones. It even boasts the musical involvement of Bobby Prince, the composer of Doom, so it’s not exactly making any bones about its inspirations. In a bold breaking from the nu-tradition of crowdsourced pre-funding, it’ll soon be selling a 3-level early version to anyone who cares to pick it up, with promises of the finished version once it’s, er, finished.

Meh. Color me un-impressed. Looks a bit like a beta for Quake II, only high res.

Ugh. I just don't like cell shading at all, the style reminds of how kids draw everything with big black outlines, it looks ugly and was one of things that put me off Borderlands tbh.

I like certain games cel shaded, for example i thought The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, and Okami looked awesome.
I agree with what you say about Borderlands, I think i seen a preview for Borderlands before they decided to make it Cel shaded and i think i would have preferred that.

Looks like 13. Meh.

I'd really love a new and proper Doom, but I don't know if anyone knows how to make that anymore. I wish id had acquired People Can Fly instead of Epic.

When did Id acquired epic?

No, Epic acquired People Can Fly. While I like a lot of what they did on Bulletstorm, I'd rather see their talents directed into something like Doom. The Painkiller games seemed to get it.

Warsow works well with cell sheding but that game has more colors than puke green and washed out grey.

I really liked 13..it was a fun little shooter, didn't take it self seriously either..also the art style in it was great

I always wished they'd make a sequel
