I know this has been posted here before, but every time I think about replaying Quake, I always think that I should do it this way. It doesn't get me all discombobulated, and I actually love the idea (and execution) of playing like I'm some sort of spider or fly or something with enough eyes to be able to see everything all the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9v_XN7Wxh8

That panini sample at 170* looks absolutely natural, that's totally great. Doesn't seem to come with any performance hit, hope some newer games pick up on it.

Unreal Engine 4 has Panini built in but I'm not aware of any games actually exposing it as an option https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Rendering/PostProcessEffects/PaniniProjection/index.html

It's not a retro shooter but that panini projection would be amazing in some UE4 games like Squad. I hope some devs get bold enough to give it a try.

The license makes things complicated, most other idtech 2 engines were licensed under GPL which is incompatible. e: Well, Quake 2 anyway.

Its only tangentially related to FPS' titles, but I read Boss Fight Games' book on NBA Jam. The whole thing is steeped in 1990s game design culture, and reminded me heavily of Masters of Doom.

I feel so loving dumb that I just learned today thanks to YouTube’s recommendation algorithm that The Dark Mod is this huge original thing and not like a beautification mod for original Thief and now I have 7 years of backlog to catch up on.

I'm playing Gauntlet, the indie remake they released five years ago, and I have to say the mob management with predictable AI reminds me of modern Doom slaugther, having to know how to go around them, manipulate them to create a path, etc. You can see the influence of that type of 2d action games in Doom.

Doom's great grandaddy was a Gauntlet clone. So not terribly surprising, but it's often overlooked.

Christ apparently some malevolent AI is trying to stop me from having any fun in Deus Ex. Anybody get this weird issue where shotgun blasts and the plasma rifle explosions cause the frame rate to tank? I'm playing GMDX community edition, but the same exact thing happened when I used another mod called Vanilla Matters (it's poo poo, don't bother). Didn't happen in the regular, unmodded game.

In the default game point-blank plasma shots could affect your frame rate, but nothing to make the game unplayable back in the early 2000's. Mods might be grossly upscaling the plasma hit texture, but I can't imagine that's the issue. Load your save in vanilla and find out?

Dumb question, but are you using the improved OpenGL/Direct3D renderers? It'll make an immense positive difference if you aren't.

Yeah what's weird is it happens in GMDX and in another mod that doesn't change any graphics at all. Just tested in vanilla and it doesn't happen. Hasturtium posted:Dumb question, but are you using the improved OpenGL/Direct3D renderers? It'll make an immense positive difference if you aren't. Sure am. I like a lot of the changes GMDX does but this poo poo is ridiculous. There's some other issues with it too. The regeneration aug will turn off after 1 second of use even with full energy and plenty of lost hit points. Guess I'll just use Biomod.

If you're using the dx10 renderer, maybe try turning off all the post processing and lighting poo poo. I've had those gently caress up my frame rate a lot before.

I didn't even know this was a thing. How do I do this? Kentie's launcher only has basic options. I'm guessing it requires some fiddling with some inis.

I'm a big fan of the original despite its considerable flaws so I'm really looking forward to the remake, which hopefully means a lot of those issues (wonky stealth mechanics, damage scaling completely out of whack) get ironed out. https://twitter.com/shinobi602/status/1271064415023108096

The new style is growing on me but I miss the flat textures. This isn't that different from Call of Duty except they clamped the lighting and a thick outline.
