Lemon Curdistan posted:Yes, that would be thing I'm talking about. GZDoom lets you use the mouse to control the menus, which is what I want to do in Zandronum because being stuck using keyboard only controls in 2015 is ridiculous. I'm not talking about settings for using the mouse in-game. Oh! In that case, that's actually being done in Zandronum 3.0, so it'll definitely be in the next major upgrade. https://www.dropbox.com/s/d2rjl0wldggsudn/zandronum-3.0-150613-1038-6a22ff8-windows.zip Here's an alpha build if you want to play around with it.

So, who here plays Steel Battalion? Please, let it not just be me   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Battalion Yes, I'm probably one of the few people who dished out hard earned cash for my car finance to get a giant controller for an imaginary mech car instead. Best type of vehicle driver from the first person perspective. closeted republican posted:I remember one guy on 4chan saying that Doom is the FInal Fantasy 7 of FPS games, with all the good and bad that implies. It really hits the mark in regards to how people treat Doom. Wolfenstein = Donkey Kong Doom = FFVII Hexen/Heretic = Pokemon Blood = Castlevania Shadow Warrior = Ninja Gaiden Strife = Chrono Trigger Quake = Mario 64 Quake 3 = Mario Galaxy Unreal = Shinobi Duke 3D = Sonic 2 System Shock = Shin Megami Tensei Thief = Metal Gear SiN = 90s Anime Clive Barker's Undying = Castlevania Chronicles Descent = Gundam FEAR = Resident Evil Painkiller = Devil May Cry EYE: Divine Cybermancy = BulletStorm = No More Heroes Demonsteele = Vanquish Honestly can't think of anything like Deus Ex.

Enjoying playing a mod called 'Project Brutality' which is basically brutal doom with everything and the kitchen sink thrown in. Hella fun for a bit, but the balance changes are crazy and almost unworkable in any remotely challenging wad. Doom's Visor mod kicks loving rear end though.

Actually, yeah, Hexen/Heretic are also too complicated for 10 year olds to figure out. Also, I honestly couldn't figure out any Japanese game similar to EYE Divine Cybermancy.

Alright, I'm brand new to this whole old FPS thing  I got the Doom bundle on steam, Brutal Doom v20 and Zandronum. Dragging and dropping the .pk3 onto the exe works fine and the game mostly works but I can't seem to reload my second weapon when dual wielding and navigating the menus is more than a little bit of a headahce.Edit: Nevermind, got the reload thing figured out so hooray there. Doublt edit: SilentW posted:Oh no Should I have added a trigger warning?

Tracula posted:Should I have added a trigger warning? I would certainly recommend not playing Brutal Doom, or any other gameplay mod, until you've played all four iwads (well three, if you dislike TNT) with the original gameplay. At any rate Brutal Doom sometimes sets people off because it leads to debate that were run into the ground years ago. I can't even think of a way to teal deer the whole controversy because it gets into stupid minutiae of oldschool versus newschool and Doomworld versus zdoom.org and Sergeant Mk IV's atrocious personal conduct, and gently caress it, just go play Doom. It's good.

DoombatINC posted:The jump in gameplay quality between Hard Reset and Shadow Warrior gave me the impression that Flying Wild Hog is eager to learn from their past mistakes. If we see a comparable jump between SW 1 and 2, then it'll be something special. Yeah! I wasn't big on SW1, but even the few minutes of footage for 2 shows a lot of improvement and promise. Mak0rz posted:After watching more of that video I realize that Wild Hog needs to get their hands on the Turok franchise. God drat. I am now imagining Machinegames doing their brand of serious/shclocky on a Turok game that has me simultaneously laughing at the absurdity of what's happening but also genuinely caring about the characters.

Mak0rz posted:Which ones are those? M2 through M5 of episode 1, E2M7, E3M5 and collaboration on E3M6, and E4M1. I think what really stands out is his versatility. The other mappers all had one or two looks/episodes that were "theirs," but Willits was able to dip into all the styles and do it well. I think Gloom Keep is the real standout--it's the sort of baroque style that E4 tried to be about but wasn't nearly as good at in the hands of Sandy.

Alain Post posted:Seeing developers try to break down why Doom 2 was great by saying things like "it was fast" or "It has a shotgun" depresses me. There are about a million games where you are fast, and not very many of them are as good as Doom 2. It's more depressing because their entire thesis boils down to "run fast, shotgun" but their games are slow and their shotguns suck. SilentW posted:If they can't make this thing work, look great, AND perform well, idTech is completely hosed in a licensing sense. It's already hosed in a licensing sense because Zenimax won't be licensing it to external developers. Tiger Schwert posted:Do you have any more information on idStudio? I haven't heard anything about that. Carmack was speculating about it on Twitter but I don't think id/bethesda said anything about it themselves.
