https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCNSF7lsoSY In Breaking Bad Jesse plays RAGE with a lightgun and it's kinda sorta appropriate even if it's presented in the, uh, wrong medium. I would say it was pretty relevant to how the character was feeling and what he was dealing with at this point in the show, hence the lightgun flashing to a real one. Would've been nice for them to pick a real lightgun game though. edit: Someone in the comments points out that some of the random graffiti on the wall (0:35-ish) is custom made and reads the name of the character he killed backwards.

Shoehead posted:There's also an episode of Spaced were Simon's character doesn't sleep for a few days (because he took bad speed) and spends the whole time playing Resident Evil 2 and eventually has a freak out. Which is part of how Shaun of the Dead came about actually. It's weird to watch now considering it was nearly 20 years ago and he's playing on the old analog stickless psx controller. Pretty sure it's an analog controller - look at the size of the L2/R2 buttons. I always liked how he held it like the shotgun he was hallucinating

Shadow Hog posted:IIRC the Steam version is an updated one, "Rune Classic", that reworks some levels, cuts others, and tosses in some of the new monsters from the PS2 port that weren't in the original. The GOG version is also that, but its price of admission also includes Rune Gold, which is the original PC game and its multiplayer-only expansion pack, Halls of Valhalla, as it originally was, no cuts or edits (just the official v1.07 patch). The Steam version doesn't appear to offer that, looking into it; it's Classic or bust there. Thanks! This game loving kicks rear end, I’m amazed I’d never heard of it before a couple weeks ago.

If you're gonna play Red Faction 1, be sure to check out the Pure Faction mod, which improves compatibility with modern systems and adds better support for widescreen resolutions. Oh yeah, you'll also want to use the console to lower the FPS to prevent an annoying bug in a certain mission: PC Gaming Wiki posted:Sub explodes when it hits water

I think Red Faction 2 is not good. It feels like a game designed for consoles first. The levels are short and all over the place thematically. The gunplay feels off. And the story is not really important, but yeah, not that great either. Red Faction 1 on the other hand feels like it has a theme going on (even though the original Total Recall was an obvious inspiration). It’s a good Half-Life/PS2 era shooter.

It's quite a different genre, but the Magic Carpet games let you completely deform the landscape. It uses a heightmap + textures so it can be deformed in real time easily enough.

There was some FPS that was all about manipulating terrain in what I believe was a team deathmatch. I want to say it was late xbox or 360 era, and I think it did get released, but I heard of it all of one time and never again. Maybe it got cancelled. Like you could shoot the ground to create craters or make it grow into hills.

One of the things I've always liked about the Frostbite battlefield games, is that explosions make craters in the ground that actually affect the terrain.

I need to find out an easy way to play a lot of these without having to have an entirely separate computer with appropriate hardware. Cause I kind of always wanted to go through and record gameplay from a lot of these old games. And wanted to go through my collection of PC Gamer demo discs. I also refound the name of a demo I played to death, Conquest Frontier Wars. And found out it's $6 on GOG so I think imma go buy that.

Alien Legacy is a DOS game, so you can just fire it up in dosbox and record from there. The stuff that's super awkward tends to be win95/98 games (like Deadly Tide), since those often don't work reliably in dosbox, don't work reliably (or, often, at all) on modern windows versions, and run rear end-slow in VMs. Historically I've had the most luck running those in Wine.

When I got bored with 7 Days to Die I just cheated up some explosives and ran around demolishing the ugly buildings and blowing holes in the ground. Things fall apart pretty weird, since they "take damage" and then die or fly off or whatever, then the bits that they are supporting fall, layer by layer, as the simulation figures out that they are hanging in the air. It's like everything in 7 Days is running on Wile E. Coyote logic.
