Looks like the new version of System Shock Enhanced Edition (with an actual source port instead of a heap of EXE hacks) has been released. New features include proper widescreen, an alternate OpenGL renderer, mod support etc.

I love you guys for posting this and I’m glad we’re all friends.

With those changes, I assume my save from the original EE won't work. Oh well, maybe I can do what I did better this time around. Those are some nice changes. Although, seeing the KEX Engine bit, I've been having some trouble with Doom64EX. My viewpoint doesn't want to leave the centre of the screen, and will violently try to force the pointer back. It's been a while since I played it, and I can't think of anything that I've really done that'd affect it. Maybe some weird driver issue? PowerslaveEX has the same issue.

There’s an updated mouse hotfix for Windows 10, not sure if that fixes what you’re describing?

Been tooling around with the SSEE port for a while now. Can verify that it's loving awesome. If you've never gotten into System Shock now is the absolute perfect time.

Uh how do you make SS:EE go fullscreen again? It's a bit disorientating having the HUD take up the bottom 3rd of the screen!

Convex posted:Retrostein is great, it doesn't really make it harder but tweaks things a bit such that it feels better to play. To be honest the game doesn't look like it's going to be sold again for the foreseeable future so I wouldn't feel too bad about I was thinking  as well, and now I find out that the ISOZone got shut down.

Kex3 uses SDL2 and is developed on Win10, 8.1 and 7 so such problems get eliminated pretty quick.

Either flip the first two, or last two letters. Both characters he feels responsible for dying. Haha looking at it more I can see that actually, that's pretty great.

The character they decided to have Jason Statham voice was the worst possible pick considering the voice they used in the RF2 demo I played on the PS2 was far more appropriate. Shrike is constantly described as somewhat unhinged and yet here we have Jason Staham being all collected and poo poo, as opposed to... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTQvHbpzVGc&t=492s (around 8:14 if the timestamp doesn't work)

RF2 does have the best cutscene ever in any videogame though. Yeah it's the one where Alias smacks Sopot in the gob then wears his hat while shoving him into the missile silo's blast zone.

His Doom movement skillz probably aren’t quite where they need to be to beat it so it might get a bit rough for him  I remember recommending this to a friend in need of a PWAD with something "different" in the gameplay, some years back (2010 or 2011, something like that). Combined with some less-than-favourable behaviour when played through ZDoom in those days, 12 maps into the set and she was not happy with my persistent enthusiasm for the mapset or my insistence that it gets better with each map. Not happy at all. Hasn't listened to any of my PWAD recommendations since!

There was a free FPS game released on ModDB (i think) around 2008ish where CTF/DM matches took place on a tiny planet, and players had access to terrain deformation tools that allowed you to create bridges/walls or dig tunnels right through to the core. It ran on Id tech 3, and played very much like Quake 3 where you could not only strafe jump but also sling yourself around the planet ala Mario Galaxy. I can't remember its name for the life of me, and the game was essentially DOA, but I had a great time mapping intricate worlds to play on at LAN parties. It was a beautiful little gem that lived for a day and died without a sound. Does anybody else remember this? I'd commit man murder for another opportunity to play it.

The Mac/DOS toggle is probably just changing which bitmap resources get loaded, which doesn't affect save files. Any bugfixes that involved modifying the level data won't be picked up if you load a save rather than starting a new game, but shouldn't interfere with the game in progress either. The saves are stored in a different place, though, so you may have to move them. Convex posted:Uh how do you make SS:EE go fullscreen again? It's a bit disorientating having the HUD take up the bottom 3rd of the screen! Press 2 or click the little grey box icon on the left side of the screen. (that's actually the HUD implant and right-clicking on it will bring up some customization options for the HUD, too)

I'd have had to transfer the save anyway, I saved it from my old computer and haven't gotten around to reinstalling it.

Doom's pistol is the worst weapon I wish mappers would stop forcing you to play through any period of time longer than 2 minutes with just the pistol. Even id knew this and didn't even include it in Quake. I was finally given the chaingun and my first thought was "Finally, now I can use my pistol ammo"

Yea I'll take a revolver over a pistol any day. Just changing the model and sound effects would be a step up. On that note shotgun revolvers need to be more of a thing in games. I haven't been able to get my fix since Black Ops 2.
