Casimir Radon posted:Well I'm off to make a Doom mod where you develop Tinnitus after firing too many shots. As a sound designer who thinks about the inaccuracies of video game gunfire, PLEASE make this. Edit: my mental excuse for not minding this in Doom/Doom 2/Quake is because of the helmet. Maybe it's got ear protection?

I couldn’t give less of a poo poo about accurately modeled gun sounds that I only ever hear through ear plugs. Give me fun and boomy.

Its really mediocre and you can play it today on your Bone in 1080p. Its like the grey browniest shooter ever made, has horrible checkpointing, and some dreadful level design. Its greatest sin is having an unskippable absolutely incoherent narrative. The first level is quite cool for the era

Black's claim to fame at the time was some environmental destruction stuff and a whole lotta gun-porn in the weapon animations and loading screens. It hasn't aged so well compared to its peers.

al-azad posted:Good audio engineering is convincing the audience how something should sound rather than how it actually sounds. BLOPS 3 probably has the most realistic sound for a 1911 and it’s pretty wimpy because of low muzzle pressure. It doesn't apply just to guns, either. Ever pulled a bow in a video game? Always make a creaky sound. Ever pulled an actual physical bow in real life? Perfectly silent. But movies and games decided an audio cue would be useful, so you get creaky bows.

speaking of, the duke nukem thread from when the game was released just got found again and unhidden. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3416433&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 it's, uh. interesting there are people defending the game all the way to the end.

The thread devolving into arguments is why it was locked and hidden in the first place. I kind of want to scour through it to see if it was the one that had ms paint comics of an imaginary sequel where Duke is an old steroid addicted wreck who has to get his poo poo together to kill those alien bastards One Last Time but I don't think I can tolerate 150 pages of 2011-era SA for that.

DNF is bad in a vacuum but the length of development and what could have been put it in the terrible category.

It could have been bad in an entertaining fashion, but no — it's just this completely joyless experience (like my posting).

I think even without the context of the infamous dev time DNF is pretty firmly in terrible territory. If it was just plain unfun, then sure whatever it's just bad. But poo poo like the alien rape fetish level definitely pushes it into the level of being terrible.

DNF is really really bland and slow for 95% of its runtime. If the Hive level was cut out the game would have literally no fulcrum upon which any discussion could rest. Im not going to rehash what everyone knows but my god its impressive how basically every single mechanic in the game is done wrong or badly

I thought the only good things in DNF were the very few arena combat sequences it had, especially the one on top of the Duke Burger which provided some fun shootbang even with all the flaws the game had. The pipe bombs, ripper and shotgun were fun to use.

Tim Thomas posted:so procedural red faction implemented in Minecraft, then I've been catching up on this thread since I was away from awhile, but wanted to dig this post up because it gives me a chance to mention Eldritch. Seriously, that game remains the pinnacle of roguelike fps games, if only for its movement system. That, and frantically emptying a revolver at a grotesque pinguin. Or the first time you discover what are basically Weeping Angels. Play Eldritch, is what I'm saying.
