Quake Meets Minecraft in FPS Construction Kit Gunscape

SlappingOysters writes: One of the highlighted games at the PAX AUS expo starting on October 31 is Blowfish Studios' Gunscape, a game described as an FPS construction kit. As well as building and sharing FPS maps for multiplayer gaming sessions across eight different modes, the game will also be able to handle up to nine-player splitscreen on a 4K display. This includes co-op map building.

yup, and makes it seems as if they have something new.
there are war plugins for minecraft, so it's not as if the real minecraft doesn't support this yet
and if you want somewhat modern graphics instead of the wolfenstein 3D level of graphics, play shootmania or so. It also allows you to create your own FPS maps, and has normal graphics.

fps?

fps and consoles doesnt mix, pick one
not to mention minecrafting the graphics doesnt make it ok to make the whole thing look like shit, explosions, animations, netcode - all looked broken

Ace of spades already did a pretty good job. This is just quake with worse everything. The bonus, I guess, is that since it's on a console you can create levels with blocks without having to get your hands dirty with real meshes or textures or any of the other things that make development on the PC difficult. I guess a plus for Xbone players... not so much for anyone else.

I remember having a Quake directory that was 500MB, when the original game was about 50MB. 90% of it was user-generated content. This included a load of maps and a load of mods. I don't remember the names of all of the maps, but I do remember that almost all of the time we played was on third-party maps, not on ones that came with the game.

StarForge

[ArhcAngel]

While I appreciate the aesthetic of trying to look like Doom and Minecraft I think Starforge would appeal to a larger audience in this particular genre. It just reached revision 1.0 and looks to be coming along nicely. The graphics are better unless you're going for the Minecraft experience in space. And while I haven''t played it myself yet the gameplay looks to be more polished but YMMV.

They improved the graphs and the FPS?

[tractari auto iasi]

Can someone clarify to me the post upper? Do they want to improvize fps on minecraft or they want to fusion those 2 games?
