ToxicFrog posted:Yeah, but Thief doesn't have the same comedy potential of repeatedly launching yourself to your death out of the respawn point. It's a shame SS2 doesn't keep your former bodies around. Not directly related, but this also reminded me that if your movement speed was fast enough you could get air time off of the ramped walkways in the recreation deck just by running up them without touching jump. I think this was possible only with maxed agility, but if you added speed hypos to the mix I'm sure you could bump your head on the ceiling or something similarly hilarious. The dark engine seriously had some great physics for the late 90s. It's not something you ordinarily think of for that era of gaming, but devs were experimenting and the jank was real.

LGS put a lot of work into physics, all the way back to Ultima Underworld and Flight Unlimited. In 1992, UUW supported basic collisions with static 3d models (this is how bridges were implemented) and almost everything in the dungeon could at least be picked up, carried around, and thrown, even if you couldn't interact with it otherwise. System Shock 1 expanded on this, adding object-object interactions (e.g. you could repeatedly throw a human skull at a crate and the crate would move as the skull bounced off it). No real effect on gameplay, but great for atmosphere. I remember when HL2 came out there was a lot press talking about the ~unprecedented interactivity~ of being able to pick up pop cans and throw them at metrocops, but LGS beat them to the punch by over a decade. That said, Thief's rope-climbing mechanics were and are awful. I mean, great concept, but when it takes a dozen quickloads to let go of a rope and step onto the ledge next to you something has gone wrong.

It took a long time for games to figure that stuff out. I remember flinging myself off ladders in Half-Life 1 all the time. It's probably because I didn't involve my hands in the climbing process at all since I had a gun and instead relied on super strong calf muscles to climb.

Jumping off a ladder in an HL engine game to catch the ladder farther down, three inches before you crater yourself, is an art form lost on kids these days.

Falling from an extremely high height only to curve off of a sharply sloped floor or surface via A/D surfing is the way pros avoid fall damage in Source engine games. Can't take damage from hitting the ground if you never technically hit the ground.

My favorite thing about the new Insurgency game, besides the explosion shrapnel/physics, is that when your guy falls six inches to the ground, he goes "DAMNIT" or "gently caress" at the top of his lungs.

What it irks me (I believe Sunlust did this, although I'm not 100% sure) is that the player can't change the difficulty or tweak the experience to his tastes. The spawns are the same in Hurt my Plenty, as in Ultraviolence.

Always bet on the Duke. It also dies with the Duke 2 boss death explosions/SFX, presumably as a special effect of that weapon. I had no idea it was even in DRLA.

I know that Stardate 20x6 didn't have a HNTR specific placement, though.

Been watching AGDQ runs lately. Are there any good FPS ones you guys can recommend that aren't just people diagonal-running through the levels, not killing anything?

I mean, that's kinda tough since that's what a lot of fps speedruns are. I've always enjoyed the HL1 speedruns because they show off a lot of out-of-map exploits and abuse of game mechanics that I was intimately familiar with.

half life 2 speedruns are always amazing and include a wide variety of fun tricks, including but not limited to bopping npcs on the head with books and other objects during scripted sequences to get them to teleport further along their set paths because the game freaks out and doesn't know what to do with them if a flat enough surface connects just right with the top of their model

Sorry, but you can't have a Jedi Knight run without that. Edit: Also, not really first person LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb6nXSOPNgA There is also a run by the same guy from a couple years earlier, I don't know if that one is better.

If you haven't already, and you don't care that it's not from a GDQ, look for UV-Max or similarly named speedruns; 100% secrets runs have the running around and past stuff but you generally get to see a lot more of the game. There was an amazing Max run for Doom 2016 posted a while back that was infinitely more enjoyable to watch than the OOB-all-of-the-time regular speedruns.

Yeah, I guess it'd be either down to cool/interesting tricks and/or some kind 100% kill or item or secret run.

SpaceAceJase posted:This is cool. Why have they changed the their movement keys to ESDF? That's probably just what they're comfortable with. Remember, WADS didn't become the standard until pretty late, and there are still people who stick with somewhat unusual control schemes they picked up in those days. I think Gabe Newell or Cliffy B still plays with ESDF, though I'd have to track down that article on the history of WADS to confirm my memories. Edit: Here it is. quote:Interestingly, Valve boss Gabe Newell doesn’t use WASD. “I personally don't like WASD as it takes your hand away from your typing home keys,” he wrote in an email to PC Gamer. “I always rebind to ESDF.” Newell's not alone there. Do a little Googling and you'll find plenty of people arguing that ESDF is the more natural configuration. catlord fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Apr 3, 2019 |

I use ESDF for games with a ton of weapons. Makes it easier to reach the far ones and 1/2 keys often are kinda poo guns.
