John Romero and Adrian Carmack, two of the founders of id Software, have teamed up to Kickstart a new game project [kickstarter.com]:

John Romero and fellow id Software co-founder Adrian Carmack proudly announce BLACKROOM™, a visceral, varied and violent shooter that harkens back to classic FPS play with a mixture of exploration, speed, and intense, weaponized combat. Use fast, skillful movement to dodge enemy attacks, circle-strafe your foes, and rule the air as you rocket jump in the single- and multiplayer modes. BLACKROOM launches with unique multiplayer maps and robust modding support for the community to make diabolical creations of their own design - Coming Winter 2018 to WIN and MAC!

Okay, my interest is piqued. Maybe not handing out money piqued, but piqued nonetheless. What do you lot think? Can an old school style shooter with modern features compete with its more modern, team-play-centric siblings?
