Cool idea, some stuff looks great, but the lightsabers do not work at all. They look worse than the original, possibly worse than in Jedi Knight

Nobody should play any of the official Doom or Doom2 releases because that is time you could be spending with the ENDLESS library of absolutely fantastic megawads

The Kins posted:I highly, highly recommend this. It's a great tribute. I'm surprised they're aiming for a year and a half in Early Access. I figured it would be a year at most like the Early Access games that New Blood published. Either way, the game looks really interesting. EDIT: Did a quick lookup, and there are comparable games from 1C and other publishers that have been in EA since 2019, so I guess I spoke too soon.

Imo play Doom 1/2 campaigns until you get sick of them and then stop and play fan wads instead. They both broadly get worse as they go, and it’s not like you’re missing out on the thrilling boss fight or plot or anything

I honestly do think modern level design could do with pulling more from older fps titles where they needed to convey ideas more implicitly to get the point across though.

Spiderdrake posted:Heretic is really pretty and fun, I really enjoyed most of my recent playthrough. Except the last weapon is really loving weird. The firemace is such a weird weapon. I don't understand it, really. I mean, it's useable, you can kill stuff with it, but everything about it is bizarre. Is there some sort of post-mortem or something on Heretic and its development? That could be really interesting, I'd love to hear them explain why they made some design decisions.

the firemace seems like a weapon that never got properly finished and didnt have a niche in the arsenal, but they just threw it in anyway because then they could say the full version had x number of extra weapons vs the shareware game. the metal balls it shoots are just flat gradient spheres and they don't fit the art style at all. it's so bizarre that it almost seems like a daikatana weapon.... maybe it was john romeros contribution to heretic? he was a producer on it after all.

I would love a post mortem on the firemace. It’s so weird. Someone should tweet at Romero and see if he has any memories about that - he worked closely with Raven on the game so it’s not impossible.

The Firemace also only spawns one instance of itself on the level, even when multiple have been placed by the level designer (it picks one spawn point randomly), and even then it only has a 75% chance of spawning. It's very weird at every level. Here's a new mod release that's pretty drat fun from the two levels I've played of it so far: Tarnsman's Projectile Hell is a 36-level TC for GZDoom and Eternity, delving deep into the combined Touhou/Taken/Козият рог cinematic universe.

The fire mace is a fun, weird gun but it’s not a BFG despite going in the slot where you’d expect one and being in a game where you definitely want one. It does feel like they weren’t really sure what they were going for with it apart from “hey check out this weird thing we made”

Does not help that the level goes on FOREVER and a day. I admire the hell out of the mod, and I overall have a great time with it. Its not just "oh look, this is tecnically impressive". Level design is very solid, gunfights are punchy, and there's just a ton of polish across the whole project. But yeah, some of the levels are like 50% way too drat large.

Flannelette posted:Someone should design a new BFG weapon for heretic. I think the Wraithverge is a scrapped idea from Quake. In one interview before it was released, Romero (I think) mentioned a weapon design they tried that spawned a bunch of souls that flew around and attacked enemies. They cut it because it caused PCs of the day to chug horribly (same reason for killing the original BFG in Doom).

Normal mode its like a railgun, with tome its like a bfg blast with no projectile. The mod overall is really good too, even for a vanilla-ish playthrough

The fire mace is still good, it's just very "wait, this... What?" for its weapon slot.
