Games like 'Dusk', 'Amid Evil', and 'Into the Pit' are shining examples of a new FPS subgenre: the "boomer shooter" inspired by games like 'Doom' and 'Quake'.

I mean, the article specifically states that, as high-budget games, Doom 2016/Eternal don't really fit into the category:

While they aren’t necessarily boomer shooters due to their higher production values, faster-paced first-person shooters like Titanfall 2, Doom Eternal, and Halo Infinite are earning more goodwill than the latest Call of Duty and Battlefield games, proving that a faster-paced and more fantastical FPS still appeals to mainstream audiences.

the first remake of doom is very old school

Feels like you didn't read the article and are just trying to snark about a point that noone is making. 🤷‍♂️
