Sometimes I think about rebooting this thread because 2000+ pages over a decade might be a little imposing for newcomers, and some people really don't like megathreads. Then I remembered that the C-SPAM megathread dedicated to misspelling the word "trump" racked up four times the pages in like three months and I stop caring. I should probably update the OPs soon.

I think Tim Cain at Obsidian still has the source code to the original 2D games, so I suspect if anything's gonna get an update, it's those, in the name of Game Pass Filler historical preservation.
It's a very Marmite Doom mod - you'll either love it's utterly unforgiving gameplay obsessively or liken it to penile degloving. If you've got half an hour spare, here's IcarusLiv3s giving it another try after previously bouncing off of it.

I appreciate the dedication to making HD but man I would not want to try and play it.

I mean if you already paid and can't get a refund, might as well play it. It was on sale in early access for a long time (over a year I think?) before the developer stuff emerged. Didn't know anything about nazis though, only the homophobia :ohdear:

It's pretty impressive, they milkshake ducked themselves so fast after launch that I was able to get a Steam refund. Usually you want to wait until after the refund window before going full mask-off.

They did apologize at first and then mostly went back on it when chuds started to review bomb the game.

no, i was just outside the refund period by the time it came out, because i'd bought it in early access. i stopped playing it even so cause it kind of soured the experience, but at this point i figured i might as well finish it, since it's not like they're paid per hour of my playtime. if i could un-give them my money i would.

I tried the original Duke tonight and it’s a lot better than I expected an early 90s non-Japanese made platformer to be. I’m only halfway into episode 1 but not too much bullshit so far. Maybe I’ll actually finish it.

Much like new music from My Bloody Valentine, a new Timesplitters seems to be teased every few years before vanishing back into the shadows. I won't believe it until I'm about halfway through the finished product.

No but seriously if you can get through the absolutely devastating 1-2 combo of the first two maps it gets way easier.

For some reason I thought the latest album was in 2018 but nope, that poo poo dropped all the way back in 2013. drat. Hopefully we won't have to wait 22 years for the next one. :negative:

Yeah, it's surprisingly solid for a 90s PC tile-scrolling platformer. Duke II also has generally solid mechanics, but I just can't get over how small the viewport is, you can barely see anything in front of Duke. It makes boss battles in particular extremely aggravating.

I have no idea how I ever beat that game.

I've never played the original Duke games. Always meant to, and I was aware of them. Imagine my surprise when DN3D comes out with titties, gibs, and explosions, and I'm there wondering "wait... The goofy sidescrolling guy?! Really??"

I'm 100% the games are way better than Gateworld, but they remind me of Gateworld, and holy poo poo, gently caress that game.

Gateworld is awful trash.

Don't skip it, just play it after Doom 2, as is the correct order.

OG Duke's biggest problem is that a few of the levels really poo poo the bed. One of them around the halfway mark is a tedious maze with no joy to be derived from it.

If you haven't been worn down after finishing the game, also check out the indie game MURI which is a pretty direct homage to Duke 1.

okay, so that means once you're done doom 2 you have to download the official addons tnt evilution and plutonia and play those too

if you want to be completionist you should play the master levels too, but god is that not loving worth it at all
