FPS Game Characters Now vs Then

FPS GAME CHARACTERS NOW FPS GAME CHARACTERS THEN

What it means

A fast-cut comparison contrasts modern first-person shooter characters—shown in colorful gameplay footage—with older FPS protagonists presented as dramatic black-and-white portraits. The joke is that contemporary shooters feature diverse, stylish or ordinary-looking characters, while classic FPS heroes were exaggerated, heavily armed, muscular action figures. Bring Me The Horizon’s “Can You Feel My Heart,” with its dark alternative-metal mood, makes the comparison feel grandiose and mock-epic, turning the character evolution into an overdramatic reaction meme.
