On “How is first person done these days?”
Doom: Dark Ages apparently switched to visibility buffer -> g buffer rendering. Something like http://filmicworlds.com/blog/visibility-buffer-rendering-with-material-graphs/

Yeah, you could do some competitive iterative design thing, but it's probably not worth it. The hard part of graphics programming isn't really the shader programming, it's the rest of the optimizations. Check out this interview to see what I mean:
