John Romero has told 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Retro Gamer that he belie෴ves "any FPS developed after Half-Life 2 was influenced by it".

The legendary Doom developer was speaking to the magazine in their , which you can pick up now, about the impact the series has had on first person shooters as a whole. Romero also adds in tꦉhe piece: "It raised the bar of the genre. The keܫy points of influence are a strong story, gameplay pacing, world realism, weapon variety and physics use.” 

He's one of several developers who🐷 help expꦓlain why Half-Life and it's follow-up are held in such high regard. Another is Jonathan Chey, a developer on System Shock 2 as well as a co-founder of Bioshock developer Irrational Games, who discuss how Half-Life influenced System Shock 2 late in its development. 

Chey tells Retro Gamer: “Although System Shock had already established itself as someth𒁏ing distinct 🌠from the Doom-style run-and-gun shooters in terms of its commitment to worldbuilding and simulation, Half-Life showed us how to blend some of those ideas with more accessible gameplay mechanics.”

The feature also catches up with Adam Engels, Project Lead on the Black Mesa remake of the original Half-Life, as well as David Speyrer, who worked as a developer on♓ Half-Life 2. It's a must-read if you've ever spent time♑ in Black Mesa or City 17 (and even if you haven't).
