Jordan7hm posted:BTSX2 is really good so far but I'm running into the same issues I had with the first one - its a real slog to play through all at once. The textures look fantastic but there just isn't enough variety. I've just finished map10. "Slog" is pretty much exactly right - 400-odd monsters and a 50-minute completion time. It's great, but real hard to push through sometimes. Often because it's really overfond of teleporting stuff in behind you.

Often because it's really overfond of teleporting stuff in behind you. I did a continuous playthrough of BTSX E2 without quicksaves (except on map31), and map10 did give me a little bit of trouble to start with. I remember I was at low health when I got to the last battle before the exit, and I ended up killing myself with a stray rocket. That was a downer. The only reason I used quicksaves on map31 was because of what it is. I have an irrational hatred for slaughter maps, and I outright refused to bang my head against that wall.

I'll reserve judgement until I play it, but I hope it doesn't go too crazy with the slaughterfests.

TerminusEst13 posted:Doom II Reloaded, which I'm irrationally fond of. I played the first two maps of this and I am not impressed at all.  This is how not to design a Doom level. No flow, no connectivity, no interesting fights, just a slog through repetitive square corridors and box rooms with copypaste detail. Also the music on MAP02 is incredibly obnoxious.

I know it was posted a few pages back but I've been playing The Adventures of Square and it's really quite good. Even though it's a Doom mod it's reminiscent of the better Duke3D maps, particularly in the weapon/enemy mix and the huge levels. I even like the art style which is very bright and Chex Questy compared to the dark and muddy design of a lot of Doom conversions. Also the game is not afraid to kick your rear end and only give you just enough ammo and health to survive to the next area.

Yeah, Adventures Of Square has some of the same 'problems' as Hellbound, in that the levels are often huge (clearly intending the player to save semi-regularly), and that the normal difficulty is designed to be pretty challenging. Hard absolutely pushes the limits, giving you a lot of enemies and just enough ammo. I'd like to see that become more of a standard thing, really. UV-only as standard has been holding so many Doom-related projects back for a while now.

Fireking is a secret map for a reason -- that's not the style of gameplay featured by the other maps at all, though they are on average tougher than E1. The other difficulty settings are implemented, though, and one of them should hopefully hit the spot if you find the UV gameplay more frustrating than fun. esselfortium fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Sep 13, 2014 |

Smooth Doom just updated again, now with a much better trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=virD-uLknLU 100% Vanilla gameplay, but with a lot of GZDoom visual goodness. Most of it is toggleable via an extra options menu. Edit: There is one tiny gameplay change now, and optional in the menu - you can opt to make Pinky demons a little faster, because they're kinda chumps normally.

Here's hoping we don't have to wait another 2 years for Instructions to the Rusty Time Machine.

Awesome Welles posted:Vanilla monster variants seems like a really nice touch. It is. It only applies to the lower two kinds of zombies and imps, but as those are the most common enemies by far, having a little extra variety in their sprites makes them feel a lot less copy-pasted. It's a really good mod overall, if you want to keep your gameplay unaltered but give everything a fresh lick of paint. I especially appreciate that it doesn't mess with the core pixel-art style at all, just adds to it.

I love the zombies with the helmets and goggles, and those new death animations, the imp falling onto it's front in particular was pretty awesome. This is the doom mod that makes doom doomier.

You can literally turn off everything you don't like, though. There's a proper options menu in there. With everything turned off, it's literally just smoother animations.

To me it seems like Smooth Doom is trying to essentially be what Brutal Doom is. If you look at the most recent version of BD (I think it's brutal20test10062014c.pk3), you'll see that it is what Smooth Doom wants to be (it even has death animations for the bosses). The non-vanilla weapons do essentially the same thing as the vanilla ones. I guess it is hard to be original these days...

I thought Brutal Doom was more about taking Doom's aesthetic into the logical extreme, where Smooth Doom is just making it prettier. They do kind of similar things but their ultimate goals are different.

Brutal Doom changes the gameplay first and foremost, Smooth Doom and its ilk are purely for the aesthetics. They're two completely different things; trying to compare them just doesn't quite work, even though it looks that way.

Anyway seeing it do that thing with slight appearance changes for each instance of common enemies makes me want a mod that will do that, but taking the sprites to use for randomization from random wads you select. Since there's plenty of WADs released over 20 years where there's minor sprite changes to basic enemies and all.

Yeah, Smooth Doom is just a sprite project (and Sgt Mk IV is part of it, too) that just added a few optional community graphics mods to the mix along the way. The entire concept is Vanilla Doom + Shiny, though. Brutal Doom's central idea is Doom remade to be more like the comic, so high-speed hyper-violence meted out by a bug eyed screeching lunatic. It just ended up bringing in a lot of elements from modern shooters too, like precision twitch shooting and more flexible, more immediately responsive guns - it feels a lot like how Doom would play in 2014 at this point, so it's not too surprising that apparently Doom 4 looks to play a lot like it. There's an official Brutal Doom campaign coming to pair with it, too, possibly alongside V20, so that should address a lot of folks issues with it messing with the balance, too.

Smooth Doom kind of bothered me for a few reasons, the new mook variants kind of obscured a lot of what Doom had going for it re: instant target identification, and some of the animations have extra frames where they don't need them, and make things look kind of sluggish. Some animations are snappy on purpose, dangit!

Oh, hey, they finally have a monsters only version. Let's see if it'll make my dream of bringing Hideous Destructor to vaguely more realistic levels come true. And at least they finally fixed the chainsaw attack animation being jumpy.

Some animations are snappy on purpose, dangit! It's a work in progress. Many animations still need adjusting so that they are smoother, have attacks taking the same amount of time as in vanilla doom, and are synced up right. This is noticeable on the hell knight, you can see it's fireball comes out before the throw animation is done. And you can turn off the variants.
