They could have gone with a weapon wheel, but i honestly don't know if that was a thing back then
But you need to remember, George was following trends, if he saw something in a game he decided that DNF needed that.

Weapon wheels go back further, though back then they seemed to be much more common with third person shooters than in first person ditos. I could almost swear they go back to like the PS2 era (GTA III?), but I can't find any example.
Still, a weapon wheel is still clumsier than a single button press, especially if there are many weapons.

Pretty sure all the Turok games had weapon wheels. Turok 2 for sure, it had two modes of switching weapons. Either scrolling vertically, or opening up one of two weapon wheels.

Doom 2016 is probably the closest thing we've had. maybe fall out or Skyrim.

Hmm, console modding is not very the same as PC, that's for sure and... saying about TES5SE and Fallout 4...

XBox-One has 5 / 2(Fallout 4)GB for modding files and PS4 has only...1GB...and no external assets allowed.


No, if you want modding, PC still is better idea then consoles.
(And because of these limitations on consoles, some mod authors just gave up on console version of their mod so it did limited how many mods on consoles, still, most important and not too big ones still in consoles.)

I think ratchet and clank had weapon wheels. Well, I played the 3rd and gladiator. On PS2
