Dominic White posted:Looks like my guess from that earlier trailer was right - you're playing as the Doomguy in the new game. The UAC science-cult bad guys find you in a giant stone casket in the depths of hell, realize who you are, and decide to leave you sealed up, far away from anything important in a distant sub-base because it's obvious you'd be wrecking all of their poo poo otherwise. There was a flash during the opening which made it seem like Hell was reviving its own champion and powering him up, and you're going to have to go duke it out with him. Seems decent enough. Doom doesn't need a good story really, just shotguns and cool demons.

Otherwise you get Doom and Doom 2, again, but with the red crosses on boxes replaced with medicine pills, and the Wolf 3D maps in Doom 2 censored like crazy. Oh, and Doom 3, of course, being the game front-and-center in the name, but having not played that, I can't assert what really changed with it. I went GMG for the discount more than BFG Edition, honestly. Woolie Wool posted:Also as much as I respect the effort that went into Sonic Robo Blast 2, it is more evidence that the series does not work in 3D. At least, not until recently, though I've sorta disassociated myself with the team over the past year or two (or at the very least have been really drat inactive on it) so I can't say as I've seen first-hand how good or bad they are. Personally, my metric for that would be BlitzSonic, though nobody's made a proper game using that engine that didn't deliberately try to turn it into Unleashed instead, so I only really have how fun it was to dick around with the physics in the engine tests to go off of.

I've been on a bender lately gathering up as many games with strong AI/Bot support for LAN shinanigans. I'm familiar with all the old standbys, but I'm trying to find bot mods for the following games/mods/whatever: Quake Quake 2 Action Quake 2 Duke Nukem 3D (is Duke even MP friendly nowadays, though?) CS 1.6 There are multiple options for just about each of these games, and I was curious to know what the thread uses (if anything).

The official reason for there being no toggle for it, if I recall correctly, is because ZDoom has support for hub maps a la Hexen, and those have a tendency to break spectacularly if everything gets reset to initial state when you die. (Something like that.)

Odamex supports on-the-fly WAD changes, for multiplayer mapcycles that use maps from multiple WADs/IWADs. Unfortunately, Odamex has like 3 players and it's based on an old enough ZDoom that it might be a pain even for single player.

God, I love that DO4M is a straight sequel to earlier games and treats them as canon.  Also, the thing runs at 75-90fps on a 970 at 1080p, which is pretty great. e; literally the first spoken line has a Doom comic reference and the game has a time to shotgun of about 60 seconds.

Wolfenstien TNO and TOB are both brilliant. Shooting retro-futuristic Nazis with dual wield auto shotguns and then eating dog food to recover health afterwards is fun times. Can't wait for the New Doom. Glad to see iD is keeping the run 30 mph carry all guns and eat medkits to regain health spirit of old school FPS games alive.

Cardboard Box A posted:It turns out the game actually takes place thousands of years in the future, and the ancient martian civilization is actually the remains of the first human settlements seen in the original Doom games. It turns out humanity was devastated by the demon attack but finally built itself back up to the level of space travel, and encounters their ancient enemy once again.... You're joking, but a few of the codex entries I saw in a stream (hoping I have the game tomorrow) kinda implies some of this. Stuff like the sarcophagus you're found in - buried and chained and covered in magical wards - seems to have been there for thousands of years, but has a UAC-compatible powersuit inside., and also that there seems to be no prior record of earlier hell incursions outside of the current one.. One thing I really love: You are such a legendary badass that there are magical tablets in hell that tell the legend of how you kicked everyone's asses forever. The demons respect as much as fear/hate you.
