FPS - Summer 2023

About the project

First Person Shooter is a four-hour-plus celebration of the FPS genre featuring the legendary developers and artists behind your favorite games.

Reviewers are calling it "Required viewing for any fans of the genre" (Shacknews), "A treasure trove of information" (TheGamer), and "The ULTIMATE video game documentary… a must-see for all gamers!" (WASD & Beyond podcast).

Join us on a nostalgic journey through 50 years of FPS history, from the genre’s humble beginnings through to the present day, exploring the creation, impact, and legacy of a wide range of genre-defining classics from Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and GoldenEye, to Half-Life, Halo, and beyond.

Along the way, you’ll hear from John Carmack and John Romero sharing stories from id Software’s early days, Cliff Bleszinski on Unreal and Unreal Tournament, Warren Spector on System Shock and Deus Ex, Marcus Lehto and Joseph Staten on Halo, and many more, each weighing in not only on their own projects, but also on other games that inspired them.
