if you want to consider it in any genre other than "weird", Killer 7 is definitely a "noteworthy" FPS

I also liked the Gamecube a lot, though I can't recall playing a lot of FPS games on it. I mostly had it for stuff like Rogue Squadron, Metroid Prime, Tony Hawk, MGS: Twin Snakes, etc. Of what I had played only really Metroid Prime fit in that category.

GameCube is also probably the most indestructible game console ever made. It also had Timesplitters 2, and to be honest there's little point in anyone ever making another console FPS ever again as it'll never be as good as TS2. is there a retro console fight thread? This is all getting a bit out of hand

The Kins posted:Probably U4E Tournament. I posted a video of some of the weird guns in it earlier. ah yeah that video was one hell of a nostalgia trip. I didn't have the internet on my pc as a kid, so I spent a lot of time downloading mods on my dads pc, burning them to cd, then messing with them against bots on my pc.

I bought a gamecube for the sole reason of playing Metroid Prime. I only ever bought 1 other game for it, Metroid Prime 2. Metroid Prime was good enough that I was satisfied with that purchase.

Personally I got the Gamecube for Melee and had absolutely no interest in Metroid - like, any Metroid, at all - until I tried Fusion that winter, found I loved it, and eagerly went for Prime for more (including the NES game included therein, for even more Metroid). Ahhh, Prime was awesome.

juggalo baby coffin posted:which was that UT mod that added all the weird janky characters to it, like the grim reaper and a demon and I think they all had special abilities? Mordja posted:Yeah, it's U4E all right. Like I said, I was messing around with it a couple weeks ago and you can set it so that every character has different stats and starting weapons. The best thing was that the Bot AI was generally competent enough to utilize the U4E character/classes, too. When I was younger and without reliable internet, I remember using a mod that extended the pool of Bots you could custom-build, and then I just went to town creating 40 or 50 characters with different skills and personalities that the game would randomly draw from to keep games fresh. Most classes were genuinely interesting too, including: The cockroach Zhal, who spawned with below-average stats but had a significant jump height, was immune to poison, carried a quiet sniper rifle, melee claws, turned semi-invisible when stationary for long enough, and (I think) could fling toxic cloud grenades. Teddy, a poo poo-talking stuffed animal with average stats but a chainsaw/shrink ray and (in later versions of U4ET) a device that could fabricate things like turrets and obstacles...the AI really sucked with this character's skills, unsurprisingly. The Devil, who could swim (or maybe even heal) in lava, had a pretty hard-hitting melee attack, flung globs of explosive brimstone, and a semi-secret area-effect stomp. Henry, a massive robot that spawned with a ton of health, armor, and twin minigun/rocket launchers, but was incredibly slow and generally became the focus of everybody in a given room. But there were also multiple weird alien characters, the Grim Reaper, not one but two fire-breathing flying dragon creeps, a tanky Golem, an Ash Ketchum-type Pokemon wrangler called "Monster Master", and probably some other poo poo I can't remember. Between the large variety of novel weapons and maps, it basically made it so no two matches played exactly the same. Loved that mod.

Alright, all this UT mod business got me to reinstall UT2004 and try to install the 20014 version of U4E. How do I install/open/use .ut4mod files? I got some kind of program that was supposed to make them auto extract by changing something in the registry, but no dice. Opening with with ut2004.exe doesn't work either and I can't seem to find a solution online. Ideas?

Is there a decent Quake 2 mod to rebalance the weapons (and perhaps give them better sounds)? I don't want a weapon pack, just something to give them a little more oomph, feel more like Quake 1 or Doom.

I still have a grudge against Sony for deciding to make the PS2 two-controller-only and then pressuring various devs into not adding 4-player mode to multiplatform titles so that people didn't see the GCN and Xbox versions as blatantly superior. That's why there are so many games that seem like they should be 4-player but are 2-player only in that era of gaming, for example those TMNT games. The Fantastic Four movie game is hilariously 2-player only as a result of these policies. Like make your console as lovely as you want Sony, but don't gently caress with the other consoles' libraries.

Wamdoodle posted:I don't think the lack 4-player mode was holding that Fantastic Four game back... True, I didn't pick great games as examples, those are just games that scream "should be 4 players" that I could think of. It was really widespread and some games had to be entirely reworked from the ground up to accommodate Sony, usually to their detriment.

Sony made some unfortunate demands back on previous consoles when they were the top dog, like not allowing 2D-centric PS2 games like Metal Slug 3 to be released in the US. I wonder if they're still doing stuff like that with the PS4? I doubt we'd really hear about that stuff for a good few years if they are...

Assuming you're using UMod Browser, after loading up the file try right clicking on it and extracting the files to the selected destination folder (defaults to Temp).

Speaking of UT, I just got an email from Epic and they apparently just added a new mode to Unreal Tournament. It's called Blitz and advertised as CTF mixed with Assault somehow? Hell I'll give it a shot.

Huh, had no idea MS3 didn't get a US release. It came out here in the UK. I guess these days all consoles are region free so it's not as critical as it used to be. Thinking about it, gently caress the region locking particularly in the PS2-Xbox-GC era. Some games were still borked PAL conversions with no way to get a full speed version outside of importing and using an Action Replay or something, and I think there was a chance you could screw up your GC memory card doing that.

Here's an interesting tidbit on that: The original Xbox had 1045 games. 900 were available in North America 707 were available in Europe 655 were available in Japan But then there was also the consideration of backwards compatibility for Xbox titles on the 360, where the further interaction of region locking, including of the support, meant: 524 titles were made backwards compatible at all but only: 461 were available in North America 476 were available in Europe 122 were available in Japan (Incidentally, Xbox One's Xbox 360 backwards compatibility lacks region locking for disc titles)

Holy loving poo poo Inner Chains is complete garbage. Those guys should be thrown in jail for once again trying to ride on the coattails of Painkiller and churning out the crap they did. No control options, no graphics options, three weapons, one enemy type, slow as gently caress movement, terrible performance, and a goal that just has you collecting letters in an admittedly pretty environment. Here's an example of the most complex combat encounter I've found https://streamable.com/bhfu0 There's zero stakes. Nothing can kill you and it's just the worst thing I've ever played. Thanks Inner Chains for making me feel way better about STRAFE.

Talking about ex-PCF Painkiller developers and possibly bad games, Get Even by Farm51 - NecroVisioN developers - is coming out Friday next week. The game looks to be a throwback to last gen shooters where all you do is walk down corridors while people talk to you and sometimes you get the chance to shoot someone I guess.

Do you love the Turok2 remaster? Kaiser and myself sure love programming it, apparently. 1.5.4 is now public on Steam and GOG. Change log. The main new feature is DirectX support, which should run better on AMD cards and actually gives support to a slightly older set of graphics cards as long as your GPU supports DirectX10. Specifically, it's DirectX11 but with minimum support for the DX10 feature set, as we don't actually need tessellation for anything. There's also a bunch of multiplayer and and singleplayer updates (see the change log), spread across two different version numbers.
