I feel like Dusk starts off kind of "plain" so it has room to do weirder stuff later on. In Amid Evil, Arcane Expanse is probably my favorite episode thematically/visually, and The Void is cool and kinda makes for a good finale, but I don't really like the gameplay of it.

renzollama posted:Any suggestions on stick / motion sensor sensitivity settings for Quake on switch in handheld mode? I always buy and adore the id games on switch but I feel so terrible playing them, strafe aiming in y axis with those tiny analog sticks feels so unbearably clunky with my adult sized hands. I've tried the motion sensor controls on every fps game where they're available and can't ever find a setting that feels right to use in combination with regular stick aiming. Then you throw autoaim option on top of that and it's too many variables for my smoothbrain. I usually prefer reasonably lower sensitives for stick aiming combined with high gyro sensitivity, so try starting with something like that as a base.

AE's Void was also one of the few times in gaming I felt that weird, ethereal style of environment actually had both visual diversity and was fun to play.

The first two maps in dusk are just kind of okay, it's the atmosphere of the third map that really hooked me in.

Max FOV in Quake, at least for the Switch port, is 125° Fine, I guess.

Dusk doesn't really get good until the Escher Labs, imo, and it starts to taper off again towards the end of Episode 3. Project Warlock II trip report: it's definitely an improvement over PW1. Enemies that do things other than run directly at you, level geometry that isn't at 90 degree angles. It's also doing some stuff I'm not such a fan of- like that Duke Nukem style weapon reloading. And recoil. The filter I'm undecided on. It's definitely A Look, but is it a look I like? Ehhh. I didn't find myself having any trouble reading the environment through it, so there's that at least. e: The demo's good enough that I'm willing to take a look at the full game, even though I thought the original was mediocre overall.

shoeberto posted:Total aside but what is the term "playsim" and when did people start using it? I've followed sourceport development since the mid-2000s and I've never heard it before these last few pages. Yeah I've never heard that term in my life either so I was also confused david_a posted:It’s just a term for the code involved in the actual gameplay portion of the game that’s simulating a virtual world, so the physics, enemy behavior, etc. I don’t know how standard of a term it is; maybe it’s used in modern games since those engines are considerably more modular than Doom & Quake. One does not simply swap out the physics engine in Doom, for example, (I mean it barely has one) but that’s probably possible in Unity or Unreal. Uh, no? You can swap out the physics in Doom if you're willing to rewrite the physics code. You can swap out the physics in Unreal or Unity if you're willing to swap out the physics code. I don't think its really any different. Plus Physics is usually considered part of an engine, where enemy behavior would be more of the actual game code or scripting. Of course all this gets complicated because you also have physics systems or libraries like PhysX which you can import on top of any existing rendering engine. I'm not really trying to argue semantics, for all I know lots of people do use "playsim" to refer to that, but I'm not sure the other point you're making about engines really makes sense.

Other than the 50 HP thing, what differences are there in the new Quake Nightmare? I'm not familiar enough with Quake so I can't really tell the difference between Nightmare and Hard at the moment other than the HP.

Have anyone tried to compare fps performance of the new Quake against vkQuake and Quakespam? In some complex, modern map, of course.

I really liked Warlock 1 because I felt like it nailed the old school level design of small but densely designed labyrinths where you can either go through the keycard progression or find secret paths that provide shortcuts. I know that it's very Wolfensteiny but man... I can enjoy the Quake-era gameplay/design of most neo-retro shooters today, but the level design of games like Wolf and Doom I think were what prepped me for a life of loving Metroidvanias.

My understanding is that Warlock 2 is aiming for Doom - so verticality and polygonal, not orthogonal level design - but dense labyrinths, not Quake-style stuff.

It's been a long time since I've legitimately played Quake but, like a lot of people, the remaster got me to jump back into it. When I die, I automatically restart the level with all of the weapons & ammo I had when I started the level--does that mean there's no "pistol" (or more accurately, "shotgun") start to the game? I feel like I'd enjoy the extra challenge, but it seems like I might have to use console commands to simulate it or something.

Haven't play Quake in a while so I checked out the remaster, I forgot how good the sound design is. All the weapons feel nice and punchy and feel good to use, the metallic ping of bouncing grenades in particular.  And of course, the jump sound. HUH HUH HUH

Deakul posted:How long does Dusk take to really shine? Played a couple of levels and was left completely underwhelmed and even bored by the environments. play -at least- until E2M5. If you still think it's boring after that you know this isn't the game for you. to be honest, I played the first episode, thought it was okay but no great shakes. Started the second one because everyone told me it was way better. The first map felt okay to me, but nothing spectacular. Then I put the game down for a while. Came back, played on, and E2M2 was really cool, and got into it. Every map after that was cooler than the one before, and holy poo poo now it's one of my favourite shooters of all time.

(I think this Quake Remaster deserves to be called like that Method 1: Under the Quake Remaster folder (\Quake\rerelease) rename one of the other expansion packs and copy in AD with the same name. ad -> rogue, etc. Method 2: Download Quake64 then navigate to %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Nightdive Studios\Quake\q64 and drop in all AD files. Make sure to back up Quake64's data.
