"Influencing Modern Cover Based Third Person Shooters" - Kill.Switch Retro Review (PS2/Xbox/PC)

Stranglehold imo had the best implementation of a cover system. Mainly due to the destructible environments, you could use it to take a quick breather but it punished you if you stayed there because you'd be a sitting duck.

Nah, Operation Winback on nintendo 64

I replayed KS on stream for some friends for the sake of posterity. Imagine if Namco had realised what a gold mine they were sitting on with this mechanic and capitalised on it before Epic took the premise out from under them.

This title looks like a great third Perssone Shootter nicd video 👍26

Try Reservoir Dogs game, for its budget it has a unique gameplay: you can take people hostage and choose non lethal route, or go guns blazing, or why not - both)
It's a guilty pleasure of mine

I would buy it day one, if it will ever have a re-release... I liked this game alot
The cover system blew my mind back in the day

I love that you touched on the AI here, that's the one thing I remember from this game is how dumb they were lol

This and Winback 2 inspired every 3rd person cover shooter we play today. Winback 2 was rough as hell tho

Dope
