Also, I hope the new indie shooter craze inspires John Romero or other guys out of the loop to make some sick smaller games.

Are the second and third episodes notably harder? First episode is pretty easy, I will replay it on the next difficulty on the weekend.

Just play it on the 2nd to last difficulty it's the right balance of not wanting to get hit but not instantly killing you if you do that the last difficulty has.

Romero hosed off midway through his kickstarter campaign to make Doom maps, his anniversary tie-in announcement is a megawad, he's done nothing interesting but talk about Doom for like twenty years. He's good at making new maps but I think making a new game, even just a TC, is beyond him - if it wasn't, he'd have done it already.

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
Only tangentially related, but since "Immortal Redneck" has been mentioned in this thread before, you might want to check out "City of Brass" if you're looking for a Roguelite-FPS fix. I've had it in my backlog for more than a year and just got around to playing it--reminds me of Immortal Redneck in a lot of ways. Greater emphasis on melee combat, dodging, sliding, and swinging around, but that means that you get faint whiffs of "Dark Messiah of Might and Magic" when you run around a level, shoving mooks into bottomless pits and whip-dragging them into pools of lava.

Apparently it's on sale for $9.99 (50% off) so it's not a bad time to pick it up if you're interested.

Wolfstone 3D is delightfully amusing. I wonder if someone made a ECWolf version or something? Not sure if this would be considered :filez:

I looked into how Doom renders its levels and it is real fascinating. I know everyone says that it is a really a 2D game, but it was the first time I really understood how and why; Doom is essentially a top down shooter rendered from the first person perspective.

The Digital Foundry retrospectives on Doom and all its various ports over the last two decades are extremely pro-click.

There were a couple populated servers over the weekend, each with about 8 people, though one was passworded. It can be extremely laggy depending on the latency of individual players, and hit detection for some weapons is incredibly rough (the grenade launcher projectiles are slow enough that it's nearly impossible to direct hit people with it, while the hunting rifle is near impossible to land shots with when your opponent is rubberbanding all over the place), but it *feels* a lot like playing on quakeworld back in the day for those reasons, so it's actually somewhat tolerable.

I don't see players sticking around long, but that might change when map and modding support ramps up.

I didn't expect Duskworld to become a big thing or whatever, was just hoping I can get a few games in during the launch window. I'll hop on tonight and check it out.

I played some Duskworld a few times during early access because NewBlood runs "frag nights" on Saturdays. There's usually enough people to fill up a server, and I never noticed overly terrible netcode or anything like. Wonder if a recent update broke it?

He's made a bunch of new games over the years they're just all mobile stuff that's not so interesting.


Dude's a strong Doom level designer though so really,having him just make new Doom stuff is probably what he shoulda been doing all along.

Thank you for sharing this! Half-Life was also one of the more formative games of my teenage years. I think I've played the campaign (the original and black mesa) well over 3 dozen times. Lord knows how many hundreds of hours I poured into mods such as Firearms, Team Fortress, Day of Defeat, Counter-Strike, ect.

Every year old highschool / college friends of ours get together for an Xmas LAN and play the classics. This always includes Day of Defeat and Counter-Strike 1.6, for nostalgic sake. :smith:

Duke Nukem was funny back in the mid-90s when I was 10. Duke Nukem was cringe-worthy when Forever came out in 2010 and he's basically unacceptable now in a post-trump post-Metoo 2018 world. Leave Duke in the 90s where he belongs.

I’m not trying to make a D&D political derail. Duke Nukem 3D is still a classic. All I’m saying is, and I think this is reasonable, is that Duke is an anachronism and I don’t see how the character succeeds in today’s world either in video game or cinema form.

Bring back another 3Drealms/ID Classic and give me a new commander keen!
