Restrained Crown Posse posted:Going to give the first System Shock a spin tonight. Anything I should know going in? Found the difficulty sliders on the main menu a bit obtuse when looking at it before. On each level you should find the resurrection pod asap. There is a cruel troll joke with the resurrection pod on one of the levels.

site posted:just ran through it and yeah its pretty slick. only thing i noticed was a very quick green flash when stepping off the elevator that merges maps 7 and 8 That green flash is you. (If you change your player color, you can change the color of the flash.) Basically, what happens is that when you're partly in the portal without having crossed the line yet, your body gets drawn on the other side of the portal while your viewpoint is still on the first side, and so you see yourself.

All this talk of portals, I had to google it. Maybe this was posted before, but this 5 year old video has some interesting stuff in it and I had no idea that you could do this kinda stuff now. Reminds me of that moving room portal in Prey 2006 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYI9LFP0K6U&t=121s HolyKrap fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Oct 12, 2019 |

The height differences for portals were shitcanned in the final implementation, unfortunately. No more infinite staircase effects.

You can still do some wild poo poo with portals, mind. I love making buildings that are bigger on the inside than the outside, for example.

Non euclidean geometry is overrated. It has been possible in FPS engines since forever and basically no games have ever done anything super interesting with it, mostly because our monkey brains have enough problems with virtual euclidean geometry and adding moving portals and poo poo quickly gets absurd.

Out of the big three of the revival shooters, I think I like Amid Evil the most. DUSK is fantastic, but I couldn't get into a second playthrough. I just kind of faded out during the horror/story parts. I didn't get more than a few levels into Ion before I got bored with enemies.

the cool posts kid posted:You could still put portals on polyobjects and move them around last time I checked Graf's been mooting adding moving sectors you can stand on (as opposed to polyobjects) lately, but if it happens they'll probably be limited to moving in the four cardinal directions without rotation to avoid issues related to actors using boxes instead of cylinders or whatever for collision.

Animal-Mother posted:Also I have a question: There have been dozens of crap "WolfenDoom" attempts from over the years that are basic reskins and shoddy DEHACKED work, but they barely count. But there is at least a TC for ZDoom which is about 95% accurate to Wolf3D's handling and gameplay. You could play that through Zandronum for easy multiplayer stuff.

mind the walrus posted:He's got some good one-liners and earned a lot of points for his 1-2 punch of calling out GGMan for being trash as SIGIL and being honest that the Blood HD rerelease was jank on release. He's also had Youtubers trying to promote him, most notably Matt McMuscles (Matt from Super Best Friends) gave him a video cameo and regularly tries to get his viewers to watch Civvie. It's gotta suck these days when you see a Tuber who has a few good videos, then you try to promote him and later have to figure out how you're going to apologize when that person later turns out to be a creep.

Are they ignoring SS2s ending. I really want to see seven-of-nine Shodan. e: thinking of Ex Machina’s ending and how scary it would be having an android in human society people are unaware of. Usually the trope is they’re on the run or defensive but Shodan is now mortal but still has a machine brain. al-azad fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Oct 13, 2019 |

Tippis posted:…also, doesn't SS2 already offer a sequel hook? The ending is not just “nah”, but also “…do you like my new hairstyle?” Yeah, SS2 ends with obvious sequel bait by implying that SHODAN has downloaded a copy of herself to Rebecca, either using implant shenanigans or using the FTL drive. There's also any number of ways they could take SS3 that don't involve SS2 at all -- there's no way SPU-43893 was the only copy of SHODAN floating around, for starters, since Citadel's bridge was recovered intact. But IIRC SS3 is in fact planned to be a direct sequel to SS2.
