I think a sort of comic book art style would go well with it, especially if they do some weird and creative gore effects like the guns melting people or something.

Wolf 3D only came out in 1992 3 years isn't that long. Also there were custom maps available starting in 1992, since the map format was very easy to reverse engineer. And the Wolf 3D map community is why the Doom engine has built-in support for loading external wads, to make things easier for modders (original wolf3d custom maps often required you to replace the original wolf3d files and keep a backup).

If you want to stay vanilla but still use a WASD+Mouse setup, you should just turn off mouselook so that the mouse only moves your view horizontally, and leave the vertical auto-aim of Doom turned on. It's not common, but some WADs actually position enemies well outside of Doom's auto-aim range and balance the encounters around forcing the player to close that distance in order to attack those enemies.

Why would it? It's literally how Doom has always been played. You move and shoot like in modern fpses, you just don't have the ability to aim on the y axis.

I didn't realise that Raven was 25 years old. Singularity is a great game, I think, highly underrated, I hope this means that they're being saved from doing nothing but Call of Duty map packs.

One thing that sticks out in HL1 is the combat. It's not nearly as visceral as fighting a Skaarj and it lacks the satisfying factor that Quake 2, Unreal 1, and Sin's combat have. Even the human grunt AI isn't impressive when you learn that it turns into Quake 1-quality AI if you rush it or start chucking MP5 grenades and Satchels everywhere instead of standing back and using cover.

There's a new version of the Outlaws installer on GOG. It fixes all the Glide issues.

If you're part of the Galaxy alpha, you can download just the modified files there. If not, run olcfg.exe from the game folder as admin, and turn off the "smooth" options in Advanced, and turn on "maintain all sprite directions".

To the people who found the enemies in the original half-life 'bullet sponges', may I ask what difficulty you're playing it on? I always found the amount of damage enemies took before dying felt right when I played on normal, but a bit on the silly side if I bumped it up to hard, and as far as I can tell enemy hit points ins the only thing changed be difficulty settings (I've never taken the time to conform this by poking about in the code or wikis or whatever).

Here's some surprising news: Fortress Forever, the TFC remake with the worst timing, is launching on Steam tomorrow.

It could be something like how Nerve made Doom 2 levels for the Doom 3 BFG, but I don't know what they could attach them to.

Personally, I LOVE finally having an automap in Wolf3D. The engine limitations make everything look so samey that it's hard to have landmarks.

At least Duke stepped up to the plate to stop those alien bastards. By the time Duke3d starts, everyone save for a few stray hookers has evacuated and the aliens act like they own the place.

Of course Duke would be treated as a godking of mankind afterwards, he basically took on an alien invasion solo and WON.

To be fair, most of Voxelstein 3D's quirks come from letting you really play with the voxels. If they simply restricted the gameplay to being a Wolf3D clone using voxels for rendering it would probably play pretty well and without any major quirks. Letting you tunnel through walls or dig away at the pixels that make up a lamp or a bookshelf is what makes it quirky.

Half of the fun of having a voxel environment is letting you blow holes in walls, though.

Don't be out! The whole point of this is to tweak this until it works for as many people as possible. I've fixed the build so it should work for everyone on 10.5 and up, and updated the URL above.

Boy howdy, it sure would be great if these mods that are based off of cross-platform games were, themselves, cross-platform (Goldeneye: Source! )

First beta of WolfenDoom: Blade of Agony is out. Been playing it a bit. It's pretty good, the devs really put some effort into it. It would have been nice if they somehow made the player slightly shorter, because right now you tower like a foot over everyone, but I like to think it's juts because BJ is a big guy.

From googling around a bit there appears to be a fan patch floating out there that will add widescreen support and presumably work on modern machines.

Is it? Sorry if that's the case. To be fair, a lot of my questions are regarding "How do I play X on a mac?" when I know that it's possible. I completely get how there are some games just not ported to OS X; it bugs me how a game like Half-Life, which is platform agnostic, has no mods that are.

Thinking about Daikatana always reminds me of Perfect Dark 64, since they were both featured in an issue of Nintendo Power. I remember being extremely hyped for PD, and then looking at Daikatana, wondering who in the hell would be excited for this, when they have the spiritual sequel to Goldeneye about to be released with something like 142 new features?

Still going to play Daikatana someday, though.

It would be nice to just get a port of the XBLA rerelease for the SP, though.

If those screenshots would have been for a Hellgate: London reboot instead of a Doom game, I would be all over it in a heartbeat.
