laserghost posted:There was another Quake "The Movie" (actually, a pimped out machinima), with mix of Quake 2 and 3 storylines. Anyone remembers that? Something about Q3 charas (Sarge, Crash etc) working in some prison facility containing Stroggs , the poo poo goes down and they're trying to escape? It was amazing and hilarious at the same time, I remember reading about it in the mag like it was a huge, official deal. Sweet! Def gonna watch this later.

Woolie Wool posted:I assume my Phenom II 965 eould get face-stomped by Doom 4? I think your CPU is technically better than mine (I mean, my CPU was top of the line in 2010, so of course better ones exist now) - so, as long as your graphics card is up to snuff, you should be fine. (Though if your graphics card is AMD... well, I've gathered AMD cards and OpenGL don't get along, and it kinda shows in Doom, an OpenGL-using product.) I'm not 100% sure if my settings are Medium or High. I don't believe too many settings are set to Ultra, though I didn't notice too much performance impact if I switch some settings to that.

I ran Doom 4 amazingly well for the most part on a Phenom II 910, which sounds lower than a 965  (though I can't be certain because the naming conventions for this sort of poo poo are incredibly dumb sometimes). I was also using a GTX 970, for reference. Just about the only performance hiccups I had were in the biggest vistas of the Hell levels, which I think I read somewhere are the parts that tax the CPU more as opposed to the GPU. And mind you, when I say "hiccups," I mean "ok, I can perceive a bit of slowdown, but I can still fight fine and sweet Jesus it's still infinitely better than I expected my 6 year old CPU to be running this game looking this nice."

My card is a GTX 970, I am not worried about that, but my CPU is was old three years ago and AMD is slower than Intel. I am waiting for Zen to upgrade my CPU, if Zen is not withon shouting distance of Intel I will get an i5.

You got suckered in to the same price:performance tradeoff that I did, I had a Phenom II 555 (dual-core 3.2GHz) I bought a cheap 1100T (hexa-core 3.3GHz, baby!) on Ebay and upgraded it, and went from 4GB to 16GB RAM at the same time, because RAM was stupid cheap for a while. It's still not really that fast, but it's a very capable space heater. And I'm sure my 460GTX is the real bottleneck, anyway.

I've got: AMD Phenom II x6 - OC'ed to 4.0 ghz AMD 7980 8 gb ram And I pull 10 fps in doom. I know my computer its aging, but that does not seem right, especially with everyone boasting about how optimized it is. I can load skyrim down with tons of high res textures, and I run rocket league at a solid 100+ FPS. EDIT: I'm also not very excited by the lack of music, and the sound in general is pretty weak. eSporks fucked around with this message at 05:04 on May 18, 2016 |

Cardboard Box A posted:It's kind of funny how we had nearly a decade of Doom console ports all based off the Jaguar version, except for the SNES port, which was somewhat more faithful. I mean, the Jaguar/32X port were done by ID themselves, and were done really early. Williams/Midway just wanted to be lazy when they made PSX/Saturn Doom. You can actually see the point where they stopped developing with the 32X in mind in Episode 3 of the later ports, since the levels get denser and bigger (and map 20 of the later ones don't fit into the 32x ram.) Also the SNES port is more faithful, but it also runs, plays, and looks like poo poo because even with the SuperFX it can't keep up.

Cardboard Box A posted:Interestingly, the maps used in the Super Nintendo port are derived from the PC version as opposed to the Atari Jaguar version, as every other port until the Xbox version used. This means that they are actually more intricate and detailed than their counterparts on the more powerful consoles, though they are still re-textured to a degree as a result of reduction in the pool of available textures. The cyberdemon and spiderdemon monsters that the Atari Jaguar, Sega 32X, and 3DO versions lack are also present. Well, that IS all impressive for it being a SNES game, but goddamn, were a lot of corners (understandably) cut. No floor and ceiling textures? No transparent textures (gratings)? All monsters always face front? Wow.

Even when I was a kid, we were aware that getting some version of Doom to run on an SNES was amazing, but it was also very obvious that this was not the same (better) Doom that was running on the computer in our office. Impressive, but it was kind of like, "why wouldn't I just play Doom in the office, and leave the SNES for Super Ghouls and Ghosts?"

https://vt.tumblr.com/tumblr_o7ctcbGq3e1s8ba22_480.mp4 It's funny how despite having zero voiced lines Doom4guy manages to have some nice characterisation, like the subtle pan down to the random worker's corpse in the elevator, or the way he carefully examines the argent energy conductors to figure out how to best break them. BJ's shellshocked deathwish monologues from TNO were also great, so I'm glad Bethesda is funding these. Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 15:41 on May 18, 2016 |

God, the 32X Doom soundtrack is awful.Cardboard Box A posted:Also it looks like there are a whole bunch of console-exclusive Doom and Doom 2 maps, I assume they've been recreated at some point on PC? The PSX versions of the maps are available in fully accurate form in the PSX Doom Total Conversion for GZDoom. The Saturn version is pretty much identical so you would just use that for the Saturn Doom as well. There is also a Jaguar Doom conversion in two formats: one faithfully copies the original maps, the other version makes fixes to the maps (because as implemented on the Jaguar and in most Jag-map using ports, there were secret sectors absolutely impossible to reach, monsters stuck in the walls or outside the walls so you can't kill them, etc. Basically meaning you could never get all 100% on the end of level screen in those levels) There is the GBA Doom maps including the GBA Doom special deathmatch levels which are unique to the game in this: http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=35058 But it still doesn't fully emulate the GBA Doom stuff.
