The Kins posted:The BUILD engine used in Powerslave PC was very early (like, before slopes were implemented!) and the Slavedriver engine was all funky and Saturn-y (not sure how the PS1 port does stuff), so it'd be a loooot of work either way. The PS1 version uses Slavedriver just like the Saturn version does, so it is possible to port it. It'd be a lot of work but it really is a fantastic game and it deserves to get a modern release on Steam.

TerminusEst13 posted:As for maps, I would be incredibly surprised (though infinitely grateful) if anyone actually said they were interested to assist with a small map-pack for this. Dude. There's approximately THREE HOJILLION mappers in the Doom scene, and you just got Gameplay Mod Of The Year - a title which nobody seems to have questioned. I'd be amazed if people wouldn't be interested in doing one. Even Xaser loves it. It really is a fantastic mod, and the barrier to entry would be so much lower if it had some official levels attached to it. Also, every game needs a Henshin button. Trufacts.

Jordan7hm posted:It's been mentioned before but Doom almost seems like it attracts more content creators than consumers, at this point. It's because the tools are so easy to use, pretty much everyone who plays will create at least a couple maps.

Even if you're using Bootcamp on a Mac you should be using Windows 7 at the very least. It's a straight upgrade over XP.

You're right, they should install Linux instead, but if they insist on Windows they should choose the best option.

John Romero dumped a whole bunch more material from Doom on his Twitter. Of some real interest are unused sprites (bushes, shrubs, a pile of dead bodies, etc.), unused wall textures, and an unused sky background. Also, old pictures from 1994 of the id team, and evidence that there was a 16-color version of Wolfenstein 3D at some point in its development!

I had stumbled on most of that stuff in the past couple of weeks, actually, ironically enough. There's a bunch more that he might not have; the shotgun earlier in the thread for example. Really cool to see some of it get out, as I love seeing at all the in-development stuff from games those days.

Combine the strengths of all the different versions and make an ultimate edition of the game, essentially. Only if they put the pixelated boobs from the PC beta back in! It would be pretty hard to mix the two together, I guess a console nonlinear system on top of the PC's better levels + build engine would be good. Also what's this "torpedo weapon" mentioned in the new strife release?

Granted, I'm not 100% clear on the Build Engine's capabilities and limitations in that regard; I know it's much more capable than, say, the Doom engine, but it's not like this says much.
