Son of Thunderbeast posted:First game with multiplayer-specific maps and built with multiplayer in mind from the outset. Also I think they were the first to do IP-based multiplayer? Or to use client/server architecture? I don't really remember but yeah either way it's probably not what the comic meant for "First multiplayer"

FactsAreUseless posted:Quake's more important for its control innovations, since IIRC it's more-or-less responsible for changing things from DOOM-style keyboard to KB+M. But that would have happened inevitably anyway. yeah, but part of that was people realizing how much better it makes you multiplayer, without the competitive push that might not have happened. It wasn't part of the default controls.

FactsAreUseless posted:Oh I thought it was. I just realized I don't think I've ever played the first Quake, just Quake 2 and the original DOOM and Unreal Your memory is correct in that the paradigm of kb+m had become common by quake 1's release(doom 2's development and some design decisions were made with the "mouse-users" in mind because they were dominating doom 1 speedruns and multiplayer), but it hadn't become a standard out of the box control scheme yet E: oh drat that's loving dope \/\/\/ Son of Thunderbeast has a new favorite as of 22:49 on Aug 1, 2019 |

One of the patches or something added a batch file you could run that would rebind the controls to his personal setting.

I tried playing Portal with an XBox controller's two thumbsticks and any maneuver involving fast turns is extremely difficult.

I remember playing Quake with keyboard only in multiplayer. That was a trip. It wasn't until Half-Life that I started using keyboard and mouse setup.

I have only used my Switch for BotW and the latest fire emblem at this point and the left thumb stick is getting stuck in the up position now in a way that can interfere with play. Not exactly strenuous activity.
