Am I the only one who is less interested in boomer shooters themselves, but is more hoping it results in something like Quake 3 meets Borderlands? (slrpnk.net)

That's probably my biggest complaint with the looter shooter genre - they're all made with ps3-gen and later design sensibilities. When I play games like Quake, I want those to have rpg mechanics, loot, and an open-ish world structure like Borderlands.

And when I play Borderlands I wish it didn't have the iron sights (semi optional as they are), and combat mechanics that promote cover-style shooting. My character feels like a snail. I want to bunny hop around these open environments in fast chaotic skirmishes.

Anybody else feel similarly?

Take a look at SULFUR, could be what you are looking for. I think there is a demo too.
