RecluseRamble,

What’s “boomer shooter” supposed to mean? According to Wikipedia definitions, baby boomers were 29-47 years old when Doom was released - hardly the target audience.

VelvetStorm,

It’s games styled like doom. Iirc it’s from Duke nukem calling his shotgun a boomstick and the shooter part comes from it being a shooter game. Some people also just call anyone a generation older than them a boomer.

Shadowedcross,

It’s also a lot better than there being no demo at all, which too many games are guilty of.

EDIT: meant to reply to another comment, whoops.

I’ve seen this approach to a demo a few times recently. I really like it and prefer it over a cutout from the full game where it may or may not be possible to transfer progress.
