The whole succubi thing is just funny. I mean the weapons are a squirt gun and a loving pillow. Can we all just chill out and have a chuckle about how ridiculous and stupid it is?

Devolver Digital's doing another big sale on Steam. All of the Serious Sam games are 75% off, while DN3D and SW classic are 50% off. The only real new deal is Serious Sam Revolution for $2.49 USD. The team behind SSR has done a really good job with updates; within a month, they're removed a ton of bugs, replaced SDK coding with a scripting system, added two semi-new weapons from a mod packed in with TSE to both deathmatch and the campaign, creating mutators that allow you to spawn in a shitload of enemies like the old Parse Error mods, and have added two more survival levels, even though the whole point of the game is simply to get the original Serious Sam games working on. It's worth picking up if you liked the originals, but were slightly put off by the HD games. If they keep it up, I'm tempted to say that SSR will be the definitive version of the original games, not SSHD. Even though it's currently Early Access, it's really worth picking up for 75% off.

A bunch of Id's old Softdisk-era pre-Id stuff got GPLed recently if you want to poke around some of Carmack's earlier work like the Catacombs games and Hovertank 3-D. Apparently the ECWolf developer had his fingers in this, so maybe something nice will come of this...

Oh wow, we're getting unbelievably retro at this point. Weren't these, like, the absolute very first FPS games? It'll be a blast to check out where the genre was born.

Kind of depends what you consider a first person shooter. Battlezone is arguably a FPS from 1980. Definitely some of the first shooters for the PC though.

Can anyone help identify an older FPS game I used to play? It was a singleplayer game, taking place in what I could only guess was an alternate WWII timeline. You started off outside in a snow level, and were basically tasked with infiltrating some sort of castle that nazis were in. Shenanigans ensue, and you're somehow transported to some sort of dystopian near(?) future where you once again, fight nazis. I really wish I had more details, but I can't really remember any I'm pretty sure the game was made between 1998-2001.

Yup, that was it! Thanks! Ninja edit: Was this considered a "good game"? Not trying to troll: i played it when I was probably like 12 or some poo poo and it was so different from the games I usually played back then that I had no idea what to think of it.

It might have been in Poland, but I've never seen anything particularly flattering - if anything at all - otherwise.

Haha yeah, I quickly Googled the game and, well, Wikipedia says... quote:Mortyr received overwhelmingly negative reviews upon release, varying from downright poor to mediocre at best. Main gripes included the inconsistent pace of the game, poor enemy AI, and bland level design. It was however, notable for several features, such as a promising graphics engine (seen in the screenshots to the right) and decent sound. I have no loving idea how I ended up with this game.

We all have our weird, obscure, kinda-garbage titles that somehow only we wound up playing, I'm sure. I think mine came from a few '90s "Learn How to Program Games with C" discs that I never bothered doing anything with beyond playing the sample games. Said sample games were... questionable in quality, to put it nicely.

Now that we're doing old FPS games with forgotten names: I remember playing some old maze game, don't think it was more advanced than Wolfenstein or something. I think it took place in a prison? What I do remember about it is that everything was in black and white, and in a comic book look. I also remember the melee-attack looking really muscular. I don't remember much more about it (got it from one of those 90's demo disks) except that I thought the graphics were really loving cool. If anyone could help me with this; it's been plaguing me for years!

I know it was indoor only, and it used a really stylised black-and-white scheme. Think Mad World, but less good.

Guys, the Doom franchise is dead. Sure it might plod along aimlessly for a few more years, but with none of the original creators or technical talent involved it's time to stick a fork in it.

just cancel everything made so far and give it to MachineGames, new Wolf ended up pretty acceptable for a modern shooter.

I know the Cyberdemon has always been a demon/machine hybrid and likewise for the Spider Mastermind and Arachnotrons and of course the Pinky Demon and Lost Souls in Doom 3, but that trailer makes it sound like every monster will be like that. That's moving into Quake 2/4 Strogg territory and I think we've pretty much put a lid on that series and storyline by now with the decent, but not stunning Quake 4.

I'm interested in that it means it's getting made, and the door sound means they're at least familiar with the classic and how people are still interested in it. There's really not a whole lot else you can do aside from knee-jerk reactions with that, though.

Yeah, Doom should be more demons, Quake should be more evil cyborgs. Doom should have some techbase, its on mars/in space, but... not that much.

I wish they'd at least call it something other than DOOM. Seriously, that game already exists, everybody already knows it exists, just give it a subtitle or a number or something.

Perkristian tracked down the source of almost every Doom sound effect and made a wad with improved sampling and quality for each sound, and recreated some the best he could. His wad makes the game feel a lot fresher.

Shadow Hog posted:Doom uses tons of stock sound effects; for instance, the Imps make camel grunts when they die. The door, similarly, is a stock sound effect. Warcraft and Starcraft and Blizzard games in general also use a TON of stock sound effects, but they're pretty strongly associated with Blizz now. I hear the pig farm oink in commercials and movies all the time. And the academy firebat noise is the other famous scream, not the wilhelm, its the other one.
