Yeah, I know, Goldeneye: Source exists. It'd be great if Perfect Dark: Source existed, too.

GE:S does a terrible job of reproducing the feel of GoldenEye because it gets the movement speed all wrong. PD:S died off but was slightly better at that.

It would be nice to just get a port of the XBLA rerelease for the SP, though.

This. Playing the 64 version on an emulator is still (for me) pretty wonky framerate and control-wise and the graphics aren't as good.

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

Somebody needs to remake Cold Winter, update the graphics and make half of the cutscenes playable even as simple QTEs.

I like E1 better than E4. E4 is a real loving downer of an episode, the guns are the most generic in the entire game, the levels are awful and all the same. All it really has over E1 is fewer tiny enemies.

E1 redeems itself through how good its weapons for for multiplayer. Most of them don't fit SP, but the cool poo poo you can do with them in MP more than makes up for it. Even the Ion Blaster is fun. Also, it has the best MP maps in the game.

E4 MP is fun, but it usually turns into whoever can spam the most grenades from the shotgun wins once someone gets a decent supply of them.

I don't know if they patched Necrovision, but that game used to be really buggy and overheated lots of cards when it got released. I got bored of it when you became a vampire.

The devs (The Farm 51) hacked a lot of things and features into Painkiller engine, and thus completely shitted the code optimization. PCF (PK's original devs) also added a lot of stuff into it, in order to make Infernal, but by actually knowing the in and outs of the source code, made the final game running better than NV.

It's a shame that the Mac version of Wolf 3D doesn't have any viewing angles other than dead-on. No sneaking up on guards or anything. (Not that that came up too frequently in the game, but it's nice when it does happen.)

On the other hand, rocket launcher.

Wolf 3D does run perfectly in basilisk II or Sheepshaver, so anyone can introduce nazi's to really awkwardly coded rocket launchers and flamethrowers.

Yeah I don't think it was meant to be played back by an OPL emulator.

In fact it's meant to be played back with the included samples because it's not even General MIDI.

It's not being played on OPL. It's being played on a GM MIDI synth.

I do wonder if these tracks could be remixed to GM with any remote accuracy. (A simple instrument swap won't do, but it would certainly get rid of the constant drone in the background of most of the tracks.) I do of course plan on figuring out how to make a sound font out of the included samples and playing through fluidsynth, but I'm genuinely curious what someone with artistic ability could do with GM or maybe GS.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
Why in the actual gently caress is The Darkness not on there and its absolutely mediocre sequel is? The first game on 360 is a masterpiece.

Don't get me wrong, lists are subjective of course but that stands out. The Darkness is a cut-and-dry example of amazing first game and hilariously crap sequel.

Because it still makes more sense to include than Typing of the Dead, which is an awesome game but isn't even remotely an FPS.

Notes: Don’t opt for standalone expansion/prequel The Old Blood, released this year, just because it’s a newer game. It’s perfectly adequate as manshoots go, but it doesn’t reach as high as The Old Blood, in either spectacle or humanity.

No, you see Half-Life 2 is actually responsible for killing the FPS genre. That's why it's number six instead of number one.

Also, no UT99 nor Unreal 1 is bullshit. They're both top 20 games at the absolute minimum.

It is! They're a fun bunch, and Zeno Clash 1 is an alright game - apparently the sequel's better and weirder, but I haven't tried it yet.

I learned that MW2 cost 50 million to make. That must be because of all the scripted sequences, and totally not because of having 200 people on the dev team, hiring multiple celebrities to do voice acting, or hiring hans loving zimmer to do the soundtrack, no siree.

They picked Bioshock 2 for the list over every other installment of the -Shock franchise? Jesus wept.
