So... how would you use the chance to improve Daikatana, beyond the graphics?

Better ai pathfinding, of course.
But what else?

- Remove save crystals
- Fix audio distance falloff
- Remove explosives colliding with corpses
- Reduce player damage taken from episode 1 final weapon
- Recast Mikiko
- Improve animations on the Daikatana itself

at the bare minimum

"You got, uhh, Holden Caulfield in there, man?"
at least they found an actual black guy to voice Jeff-erfly, unlike Mikiko's VO which is absolutely a white lady in a walmart geisha outfit holding her eyes back with her fingers while she reads her lines

at least it's not quite as offensive the Shofixti from Star Control 2 https://youtu.be/m_e-U6kH1ks?si=V_JMDyY4he2bznO3

I'm hoping for more Lithtech. Blood II would be at least funny to see, I actually like SHOGO and would like to get that, I'm sure there are others too

It's KISS Psycho Circus, his phone just autocorrected "boring" into "jank"

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Better. Mediocre too late to the trends Quake-inspired gameplay that doesn't have one way door switches and automatic opening doors that can get their activation parameters reversed is leagues above in quality

Witchaven 2 is a rare breed of game where when things like doors work or a way back to earlier parts of a level with missable key items in it you actually feel relief.

Edit: It is worth noting in the plot of Kiss Psycho Circus you don't even play as kiss. You play as a member of a Kiss Tribute band

Psycho Circus is competently made but the whole Todd McFarlane aesthetic plus how dreadfully seriously it takes the lame story does no favors to the already bland gameplay.

I wonder why there was a very limited custom level & mod scene for later Lithtech games. I know there wasn't an example level included in the FEAR SDK, which made things much harder to work out, but the modding scene wasn't really that great for NOLF2 either. Was it mostly a "Very poor documentation" issue for NOLF2/FEAR, or were the tools/map editors Monolith included just really naff?

Embracer has sold Gearbox off to Take-Two. Of relevance to this thread is that the Brothers in Arms and Duke Nukem franchises are included in the sale. Which realistically means absolutely nothing for their ongoing continuation or availability, but look, it's a slow news day.

I always bet on Duke, but it is taking a long time to get a Duke Nukem 5! Also Half-Life 3, but I'm just gonna keep waiting. It is a fascinating set of circumstances.

I'd be ok if they used Superfly's name from the japanese VO, Sugureta Seiki

I remember years and years ago I did like... screenshot reviews in here, or the previous early fps thread maybe, and I tried to do KISS psycho circus but it was so loving gloomy i just felt depressed the whole time. it wasnt like a scary twisted circus, it was like a fuckin closed circus, which is more melancholy than spooky.

I actually redownloaded M2 and Infinity yesterday and good lord the game feels so much better to play with modern mouselook, increased FOV and above 30 fps. I still stand by my assertion that Marathon 1 is not fun though.

I'm doing another playthrough of M2 right now with a mod that adds a soundtrack. Having a good time. I always thought of M2 had an official soundtrack it would sound similar to Alexander Brandon et al's work on Unreal.
