Boomer Shooters

A community about boomer shooters, a type of old-school FPS games before Half-Life revolutionized the genre. Boomer shooters have emphasis on shooting and sometimes traversing mechanics, are light or devoid of cutscenes, and the fun of making things go boom takes precedence over story. The name originates from a tongue in cheek description of the 2018 game Dusk and since stuck as a shorthand for the type of FPS.

TimeSplitters Rewind is a fan project that serves as a greatest hits collection of maps, modes, leagues, challenges and story content across the original trilogy of TimeSplitters games.

Rewind is not a traditional remake in that there aren't 3 separate executables, it is one game that, as closely as possible, captures the spirit of the 3 games in one. So, unlike a traditional HD collection or remake, it is its own title. By the end of this game's development, the goal is to have extensive content spanning the three games but our initial launch will focus on a subset of both existing content from the original games and some new content.

This looks great. We used to spend hours working through the multiplayer challenges. I didn't know this was in the works. Definitely checking it out later.

Any chance this runs on Linux? Recently made this switch to bazzite and have been waiting for this for a while

Should be compatible with proton, from FAQ:

How do I play the game on my Steam Deck? You can download the game from our website, add it as a non-steam game in Steam then run it with proton. (We recommend newer versions of Proton)
