"Revive a 'dead' genre, aka, something no one's really bothered with the past few years because of the focus on FPS?

Mind you they, the No Man's Sky guy(s), still have to do a decent job of it. And they'll catch flack regardless because that's what the community is.

I see what you mean gaming bolt....but it took me a while to get it. (Wasn't gunna bite and give you a click.) Your title will make people think you are talking about the recently released DOOM you should have put a date next to it so they'd know you mean pioneer a new line of gaming....or just change the title to something less vague

^I can't tell if people are kidding...what am I missing?

The reference to 'pulling a doom' is entirely related to Doom 2016 having radio silence before release back in may...a publisher move that typically ends with a game being awful. Remember all the head lines? 'We didn't get a review copy for Doom so it's going to suck/vaporware/trash/moveon, etc.' Doom 2016 was fantastic, which doesn't go in line with the lack of review copies given to the media...

NMS is following a similar publisher approach...right? That is all this title is about...It has nothing to do with genre defining this or that, or pioneering a new line of gaming or w/e...it's how NMS releases this week and the media hasn't been allowed to talk about it yet.

Hmm, GoldenEye on atari was the game that laid the ground work for doom... perhaps you aren't that old.

@C-H-E-F:
GoldenEye was on N64, not "atari", and released in 1997 while DOOM released in 1993. So, no. You're way, way, wrong. Wolfenstein 3D was the first pseudo-3D FPS game and DOOM game out a little afterward. DOOM was the first FPS game to add enemies at different elevations, even though vertical aiming was done automatically, and it was also the first to feature a PvP Deathmatch mode.

@C-H-E-F: Not sure if trolling, or just wrong.

Or South Park: Stick of Truth. I still remember cancelling my pre-order on that game when I didn't hear any reviews the day before release, and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was one of the best games that year.

While I'm still cautious when I don't hear reviews the day before release of a game, I like to remember South Park as an example that sometimes it isn't always a PR move.

Really either you're naive, oblivious to gaming or have selective memory because plenty of games that had a day one patch improved and made for a better experience.

Doesnt mean we had people coming out claiming you cant Review the game right now. Remember what ppl said about the Gears beta? Bashing a game 8 months before release.

"Wait for day one patch" What!? The patch thats available to you when you put the disc in? And on top of that, who wouldnt be excited to hear that a game they were already excited about, was receiving significant improvements from what they were shown? Major games are getting downgrades with no indication, and somehow Hello games are getting picked on for this, and with an attitude far better than publishers\devs who get way more than they deserve.

yeah
