I wish GOG would get Psycho Circus and FAKK2. I've been interested in them (and once almost bought a big box copy of Psycho Circus at a thrift store), but never quite gotten around to tracking them down.Kamrat posted:That reminds me, heavy metal band Iron Maiden also released a video game, called Ed Hunter, since I haven't heard much about it I'm going to assume it's crap. Isn't Ed Hunter like... a rail shooter? They also had a mobile RPG. E:f;b al-azad posted:FAKK 2!!! Coming at youuuuuuu! Hey now, you're not talking poo poo about Oni, are you? But yeah, Tomb Raider certainly left a mark on the industry, just look at Heretic 2.

Half those games are okay, just okay, but in 1999 please don’t ask me to play your pc third person platformer with mouse and keyboard or a sidewinder.

Omikron is David Cage’s first big project and it’s nuts. Like it’s an open world adventure game like shenmue but occasionally you’ll engage in first person shooting segments and 2d tekken fights.

Outcast (not to be confused with Outkast) was well ahead of it's time. In combining a polygonal engine with a voxel engine it was able to create lush outdoor landscapes and power an open world shooter with open ended gameplay. It may not seem remarkable now after all the Boiling Points and Xenuses and Precursors and 5 million Far Crys and every big release being an open world action game, but back in 1999 when all the major shooters took place in boxy corridors, it was a revelation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHbXtaVQ49Y drrockso20 posted:

Sounds pretty cool and since it's from the 90's it's before David Cage became full of himself, gonna have to track down a copy.

Omikron also problematically features a pedophile as its big name talent in addition to being the progenitor David Cage ooze his excesses are distilled from.

JLaw posted:Oni had a super slick movement and melee combat system but the environments were soooo baaaad. Roundhouse kicking someone in the face and then picking up the gun they dropped and unloading the clip into them was awesome but the levels were just completely empty. It seemed like they figured out the combat systems and then just had to crunch to get it out without going over budget or something. I was super excited about it as a Bungie fan back in the day but it was really underwhelming when I actually got a copy of it. I thought it was more like Abuse where Bungie just kind of published it but I could be wrong about that.

At the time IIRC they made a somewhat big deal out of getting non-video-game-experienced Actual Architects to design (or help design?) their levels. Unfortunately it kinda shows.

It seemed like they figured out the combat systems and then just had to crunch to get it out without going over budget or something. It was developed by Bungie but it was basically being made by their B-team (the main team working on what would become Halo), which wasn't a structure that Bungie had done before; usually they just had everyone working on one game (Oni was the only game ever developed by this team). So there were a lot of organizational growing pains and it got even more complicated because the MS buyout happened right around that time too (which also led to some rights issues because Take-Two owned a partial share in Bungie and they got the rights to Oni as part of the buyout deal). The big problem with the levels is that they made a big deal out of the levels being designed by real architects, but it turns out architects are not level designers, and they also work in CAD which is not your typical level design software, so a ton of work had to be done to make the mediocre levels load into the engine in the first place and also meant that actual experienced level designers would have a very difficult time trying to make them better. Oni had a lot of development hell going on and I still have a soft spot for it, but it's not surprising that it's part of Bungie's back catalogue that nobody has bothered to revisit.

I played through it with SGF’s LP from a few years ago and think it could have been a classic if it got a little more time in the oven. It’s obviously unfinished in a lot of ways.

Brian Gibson did Thumper. Lightning Bolt isn't "metal" but it's loud cool music. Wasn't the q3 soundtrack Frontline Assembly?

As someone playing around with it for the first time, the soundtrack in Quake is very very good. If they ever do modern ports, they better include it.

Steve Vai however is an interesting case, he was unofficially in the original Halo2 (in the credits theme and the first section of Quarantine Zone), they somehow managed to get him into the fold without his agent knowing or something like that. However he was brought back officaly for the remastered audio track, where he's used for the same tracks (though maybe in others, I'm not clear on that).

Seems like there are a few music-games out there, seems like a very 90's thing. After hearing about Psycho Circus and that Ed Hunter game back in the day I was always hoping that my favourite bands had video games made for them too, this never happened of course but it's fun to see that there are more of them out there at least.  caleb posted:Wasn't the q3 soundtrack Frontline Assembly? What the gently caress, not knowing this is pretty shameful since I consider FLA a great band. I should've known.

Especially since apparently there was some publisher fuckery and the version that got reviewed wasn't actually finished, and there was a much better later re-release? A better re-release eh? I remember playing my disc copy of Breed ages ago and I remember that the AI would just stand completely still and let you shoot them if you weren't pretty close, it was reallllllly broken. And I think the tutorial level had an absurd amount of swearing. Been an eternity since I played.
