Lol. Wait was Ion Storm one of those games? I heard so much about that and the news disappeared.
Don't you mean Ion Maiden Fury?
The only thing memorable about that one is the company bending the knee to FaggotEra and sending their one developer who told those freaks to fuck off to "sensitivity training".
AFAIK Ion Storm were the developers of Dude sEX.
A beta build from the early 2000s was found a year ago and the people who found it felt it was a 89% done game.
They should've finished and published that one.
But the spergs were so fixated with creating a Magnum opus that the final result was worse than nothing, like Nigga No.9.
I am honestly surprised they are still around. Have they ever released a game in the last 15 years?
Like Valve, 3D Realms is more of a publisher than a developer; they funded a lot of modern indie boomer shooters.
And the development of Duke Cucked Forever clearly killed their will to make games on their own harder than owning Steam.

Neger Nr. Nein is better than nothing.

3D Realms is currently up to the same bullshit. They've announced a shitload of games in the last couple years, but Ion Fury, episode 1 of Cultic and I think one other game is all they ever released. 3d Realms are for sure to blame for promising everything but releasing nothing. Maybe you could take the most charitable view and say they have an earnest desire to provide more retro FPS, but their means are simply insufficient. But damn, son...
Look at how much bullshit they've announced vs how much they've released. Near as anyone can tell, 3d Realms proper doesn't exist anymore. They were purchased by Embracer Group. The programming itself is coming from some other studio.

Man. It really is impressive how they are repeating the same bullshit but into overdrive.
I didn't know they developed the original Prey. That took over 10 years if I recall.

They should make a Kickstarter for each and every announcement. It will be glorious.

Is there anything more dystopian than being owned by a company called the fucking Embracer Group.
So is Dusk still the best of the nu-wave retro FPS?
Yes. Play it! Don't be a mega faggot like Voice and actually go with it. It's a lovecraftian experience that starts eerie and goes to the absurd that you wouldn't expect.
If you haven't played Episode 3 you haven't even started.
