NoneMoreNegative posted:I've had a look at a number of fan-made genre documentaries recently and they are made with passion, but also without exception they are all very long, like they couldn't bear to edit their baby project. I hope 'FPS' isn't another four or five hour marathon.

This new wave of retro shooters actually launching is so close. I can feel it. Got a feeling next year's gonna be a banner year for 1.0s.

Just when I was starting to get nervous about it again, The Force Engine has a new beta release out (v0.92) with the GPU renderer basically finished! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VULDNdbW64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7h3Sc-JGwo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAC6D4H4tJg Apparently all that's left for v1.0 is finding & fixing any bugs with the new renderer and implementing a quicksave feature.

Ok but it's like saying you're gonna wait for doom 2 before playing doom. If that's what you want to do, feel free, but don't feel like you're only getting half a game now.

No it's like saying I'm going to wait for episodes 2 and 3 of DUSK to come out before buying DUSK. Which is what I did.

Deakul posted:How is this? The blurb about it being a singleplayer Hunt Showdown has me intrigued, especially if the gunplay is even half as good. I don't know that calling it single player Hunt is right, though it's old West + spooky things so I'm guessing that's where most of the comparison comes from. The shooting isn't what I would call good, but it's serviceable and you get to wait 15 years to reload a single-shot revolver chamber by chamber, so it does have the lovely mid-19th-century low-bloodline-rank-Hunt weapons if that's what you're after. It really isn't an FPS, though - the best way I can describe it is as "open-map immersive sim stealth survival horror." It has the combination of sneaking and shooting mechanics you'd expect from an immersive sim, along with survival horror resource management, putting a much bigger emphasis on stealth than shooting, on an open map that isn't big enough to be called open world. It also reminds me of STALKER in some ways, including the focus on finding magical artefacts that give you positive and negative effects (and obviously STALKER is also an open-map immersive-sim adjacent FPS with stealth and looting/resource management). I've only put about an hour into it, but I like it so far. Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Nov 1, 2022 |

When I played the first demo (this was admittedly a while ago) I found it overly punishing wrt resource scarcity and I think you could straight up end in a death spiral, has this changed at all or are you too early to tell?

The map jam that the map "Zugzwang" mentioned upthread was part of is in the process of dissolving into a welter of stupid drama, so I'm releasing the map as a standalone. Requires either ECWolf or LZWolf and a retail/Steam/GOG copy of Wolfenstein 3D. Happy Halloween!  https://www.dropbox.com/s/gw28oqs1hguv1nh/zugzwang.zip?dl=0 And in case you missed it the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_wDPQqOnV8 Woolie Wool fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Nov 1, 2022 |

I knew I wasn't going to like Blood West when, during the stealth tutorial, moving, at all, increases the enemy's awareness of you, requiring this moronic start/stop rhythm to get anywhere. Enemies hit super hard and you feel like you're made out of tissue paper. The shooting feels bad and the main character's voice is super annoying. Buuut it's got that overwhelmingly positive review so clearly I'm the odd one out. v vSeANMcBAY posted:Cultic looks sick but I think I want to wait until episode 2 is out before starting it.

Too early to tell whether that changes when you get better gear, but you still get penalties for dying and early game resources are even scarcer than the demo, so right now it hasn't changed.

FWIW episode 1 of cultic plays more like the entirety of doom 1 than dusk episode 1. I've played through it, and while I'm excited for what part 2 will bring it don't feel like I've only got half a game. If you want to wait and see what the reviews say for part 2, sure, but saying it's an incomplete experience and equivalent to early access isn't really a fair shake. It's ready now, playing part 1 isn't going to leave you with blue balls if that's what you're worried about.

Yeah, Mt understanding is the price is going to be the price of episode 1, and then the price of episode 2 (which will probably be the same). The plan is it's two items.

With early access, the entire game is potentially undergoing significant changes and ends where ever the developer still has work to do. An episodic release implies that that particular chunk is finished and has some sort of satisfying finale. So while it's still unsatisfying, it seems like a slight step above early access.

catlord posted:It took a little bit longer than that I think since Firebelly had a game-breaking bug (wouldn't teleport after going in the water) that got fixed a bit after they got the rest of it up and running, but yeah, last I checked it runs flawlessly now. I think the only one I really had any trouble with was Bloody Pulp Fiction, I don't remember if I ever got that one working with FS. I got Bloody Pulp Fiction working by downloading this: https://www.moddb.com/mods/bloody-pulp-fiction/addons/bloody-pulp-fiction-rescripted Then making sure all files in the zip are in a single folder within 'addons', i.e. there should be no subdirectories, just move everything into one folder and call it 'BPF' or something.
