Hitman 2016 isn't any dumber than most of today's action flicks but got slammed really hard by the critics because it's a video game movie. I didn't love it my any means but there were far worse movies that got better ratings.

Uncle Kitchener posted:I would legit pay money for those. According to the top of the blog, he takes commissions, so you can probably just ask for a copy of Doomguy and Friends. The prices are a bit expensive though: quote:Hey everybody, I'm a self taught custom figure creator and sketch artist. I like to sculpt, paint, and draw and I enjoy many variations of art. I create custom action figures using old figures, apoxie clay, and acrylic paint. For reference, he says the Doomguy one is 6in tall which would make them all about 5-6 save the cyberdemon who looks about 8. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Sep 23, 2017 |

REVENANT: THE AGITATION or it might be only me who likes that idea Demonsteele fits ninja movies, hnd fits westerns, maybe a pulpy scifi or fantasy weaponset? Mars attacks had a lot of different rayguns and death effects, could be neat. I'm sure whatever you do will be awesome though

it'd be pretty funny to have the original martians rise up against the demons who are invading mars  although not these exact martians cause original creations are always rad edit: also i thought the fantasy weapons in hnd were super dope so a full wizard mod would be sweet. there's no real original magical type weapon sets for doom outside of heretic and hexen mods. juggalo baby coffin fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Sep 24, 2017 |

Like Hitman 2016 (the game) is a way better Hitman movie than Hitman 2016 (the movie).

Previously when I'd load HND (I was playing both vanilla Doom and Strange Aeons with it) the whole game would load slowly and framerates would just be really bad, like my computer was underpowered. I just loaded it up again, played through E1 and a bit of SA, and everything runs as smoothly as it should. No idea what was going on. Thanks anyway though.

Like Hitman 2016 (the game) is a way better Hitman movie than Hitman 2016 (the movie). I think the reason why most video game movies are so poor is because they're usually not given to really great directors or because they're treated more like a product. Alone in the Dark, Bloodrayne, Postal, and Far Cry were all Uwe Boll films, and his films were (up until the last few years or so) mainly created as a way to exploit German tax loopholes. Simon West directed Tomb Raider (which I totally forgot about, even though I saw the end of it yesterday), but the only other films on his filmography that I recognize are Con Air and Expendables 2. Andrzej Bartkowiak was the guy who directed Doom, and amusingly, he also directed Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. Mind you, 'm not saying that a video game film need to be done by high-class director (though getting Guillermo Del Toro to do a video game film might turn out pretty well), but the majority of game adaptation suffer because you get directors who don't really have a great filmography, they don't care for the material. The very weird exception to this is the Wing Commander movie, which was directed by Chris Roberts, who created and worked on the Wing Commander series, so I don't know what went wrong there.

If you're gonna watch House of the Dead, you've gotta do it thrice. First, straight through. Second, with Uwe's insulting, disdainful commentary. Third, with the writer's mournful, apologetic commentary. It's the only time I know where a complete three-act story is told by watching the same movie three times in a row.

Dumb question about modding: do any of the Quake engine variants support Half-Life style level transitions? Valve is baffled that anyone would want to work with goldsrc anymore, to the point that even they recommend 'just use Quake' whenever anyone mentions a bug in the thing (or getting a source code release, for that matter... when they're not claiming they lost the source code.) (Heck, I could probably abuse Doom maps enough to pull off the stupid thing I'm imagining if any of those have it working.)

That's not what they claim though... they claim that even the stuff they gave Sven Co-Op no longer exists. And honestly, it wouldn't be the first time the source code to an engine was released with all the sound features stubbed out. Meridian 59 is the only example I can find verification of easily, but I'm pretty sure there's been others. That would take a little time though, I suppose.

How much middleware is used in Source? There's Havok, but I'm not sure of anything else. Havok is unlikely to ever be open, so I would assume that'd kill any chance of open source Source (loving hell Valve) unless some other physics engine like bullet could be adapted to it, I have no idea if that's even practical. Has there ever been a case of a game switching physics engines mid-development?

The Kins posted:The source code still exists, the Sven Co-Op team have it. That makes zero sense. Is the sound code so wrapped up in everything that they can't just strip out the sound engine and let people throw in OpenAL?

It's beenyears since I've really played it, but there's funky tower defense style mechanics and other shenanigans that I vaguely remember. Also, it's impossible to get nowadays except by downloading it from a fan-site. Runs surprisingly well on modern systems though, so that's a plus. I can't say a lot about the Wheel of Time singleplayer (I think it was pretty okay?) but the multiplayer was ridiculously advanced. Imagine a team deathmatch, but with an Orcs Must Die base building phase at the start of the match.
