Xbox Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath (boomer shooter spin-off of Hypnospace Outlaw) is coming to Xbox and PC on June 1st

this might genuinely be the most fitting game to ever be a semi-Xbox exclusive thanks to Game Pass, i'm sure No More Robots (the publisher funding Zane_Rocks_14's work.) got paid well. but just the idea of a game created by an (fictional) edgy teenager on a console line that heavily leaned on "extreme" design langauge in it's early days is astounding.

the actual game itself utterly nails the aesthetic of a late 90s FPS as well, it's rather noticably taking inspiration from Build Engine games with it's heavy use of pre-rendered graphics and "mature" dialogue. then again, Hypnospace was good at recreating the early internet.

beyond the Twitter link, the man himself also has a Steam account and frequently posts on the game's discussion boards. truly a legendary game developer who should be mentioned alongside icons like Shigeru Miyamoto and the Elden Ring guy.

Looks awesome. I'm not usually a fps person too.

I am here for all these boomer shooters. Got Warhammer 40k Boltgun preordered already and this looks like another game to add to the pile.

My partner is a big fan of Hypnospace Outlaw, and of Zane themselves, and I'm unsure if she even knows this is coming out. It does feel like absolutely on-brand for the game's universe, though.

Boomer shooter?….
