More games like AVP 1 & 2?

[stevil935]

I'm a huge fan of the avp games, and old school shooters in general. Particularly shooters based in outer space or on alien planets, and the quake-era graphics. Naturally, AVP2 is one of my favorite games of all time. I've done a lot of looking online, and I just can't find another game like it. There's plenty of retro shooters, but almost none of them are set in outer space, and the few that are seem to be made using the doom engine or something similar. I like retro, but I'm looking for something that is at least fully 3d. So my question is does anyone know of more games like AVP 1 or 2? Retro space fps games that aren't 2.5d? Doesn't have to be super retro. Prey and Doom 3 are also pretty fantastic, imo. But just something like these games. Space/horror games. Anything with aliens. Even ufo/gray-type aliens. Anyone?
Thank you.

Look up Gunman Chronicles - utterly underrated title that fits your bill.

Messaggio originale di Grzegorz:

Actually, Marathon is a very old game made by the developers of the Halo series, Bungie. In 2005 Bungie released the entire game to the public as freeware, then also releasing the source code for the game in 2011.

Wait, so he did mention Halo, damn. Credits to you, Grzegorz.

HERE is a local Steam group regarding Combat Evolved and SPV3 that I established, if someone wanted some shortcut details upon technical stuff or to just have a chat about the game.

Area 51, game officially made available for free by Midway Studios. Downloadable on MODdb, link HERE. There is also a sequel, called Blacksite Area 51, with poor ratings.

HERE[pcgamingwiki.com] is the PC Gaming Wiki site for Area 51. Since it is a retro title, you may want to upgrade some things up. Also remember to tap to disable DPI scaling for the executable.

Natural Selection along with the sequel, recommended already somewhere on the first page. Has anyone mentioned Half-Life? Pretty revolutionary, huh?

Dunno whether this fills your cup but there is a game called Fire Warrior, originally published by THQ for Playstation in the 2003AD, adapted to PC. It is a WH40K installment, where you play an alien specimen of the fairly new to the universe the Tau race, killing humans. Did not play it myself so cannot tell any more, but it is 3D.

Speaking of postretro 6DOF shooters, you can check out this, but I believe we drift away from the purpose - personally, I am all for footsoldier FPS games, vehicles just make it something else:

Besides, there are no aliens or flying saucers.

Plus Try STARSHIPTROOPERS was bassd on movie if you can find a copy

Dead Space is amazing but it nowhere near fits the criteria given in this thread.

There's also an AvP mod for Counter-Strike 1.6.

Did you hear about Descent 2? There is also a prequel and a Descent 3 available.

If you enjoyed Descent, check out Overload; it's something of a reboot, and as someone personally obsessed with the original two, Overload happens to tick all the right boxes.
