looking like a high res quake 3 mod and not having constant awful voiceover are both big improvements on the modern Doom formula :greencube:

a miserable failure as a person

It might just be because it's coming after all these other terrible videos, but I could live with this. It's not an improvement over the original, but it's liveable. The chunky lo-fi 3D models are distinctly better than the "high res sprites made from DOOM 4 models" the other one is attempting.

All of these remakes have big "we have lots of tech and no art direction" energy.

For me that's the worst one lol. Ok not as bad as the UE4 video, but that's not a real game.

I think they're both cute gimmicks and don't mind either of them

doom with chunky 3d models is fun, and the high detail but still obviously 2d sprites feels almost like a modern version of like, the MK digitized photos as sprites

I like how the thumbnail is that DeviantArt guy's painting, with an "RTX on" logo tacked on.

There's no RTX on at all in that thing, it's just bog-standard GZDoom with a few mods. Ugly models, PBR textures, gratuitous Doom 3 sound effects, etc. Zero ray-tracing.

From the sounds of things they accidentally only released the day 1 patch and not the, uh, the game that's applied to it. Which, given the Steamworks backend tells you what files/build you're making public before you press the button*, is a pretty funny oversight. Apparently it's fixed now?

* Allegedly. According to the indie dev on this Discord I'm on who's outright offended by this, anyway...

Not that I'm excited about the game, exactly, but why is Serious Sam 4 getting such a side-eye here?

Jeez what happened to SS4. It didn't look very good in trailers, but that looks like a very early beta. They should focus on their good game (Talos).

The upside is that finally deciding to rip the band-aid off and ship SS4 means they can get back to Talos faster.

Made to order, everything normal but enemy count set to highest is what I consider "Ultraviolence Plutonia" level of difficulty and I got through the first episode with feeling the game was hard but not unfair.

It's always worrying, as for mid-sized studios like them, the budget for the new game is usually the profits of their last game.

Turn off Game Bar in the Windows Settings app, I think?

Apparently some maps are borrowed from The Talos Principle but I have no proof other than my friend (who played TTP to completion) saying some sections between games are identical.

That is incredible, both in the 'amazing' and 'no loving way' meanings, because TTP has nothing in it conductive to a FPS other than its pretty engine. Maybe they reused a large background prop like a sphinx or pyramid?

Boy, this looks like a complete mess. Guess I shouldn't be surprised, considering how little gameplay they actually showed leading to release.

How does Serious Sam Fusion work, anyway? BFE is the only game that I own but I also have the 2017 fusion beta in my library which, from what I understand, is actually the full release.

i feel like it looks bad for a developer to just lift entire maps from an earlier, unrelated game they put out if they're trying to hock something 'new' with it
