Has anyone had success playing some DukeMatch through YANG..? I really just want to see if I've gotten it set up right with the port forwarding etc. I'm using the old build of eDuke32 that has 'working' multiplayer: http://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32/synthesis/old/20091203-1551/ the DUKE3D.GRP from the GOG Duke3D Atomic version, and the latest download of YANG: http://yang-online.com/ if there's an easier way of getting this up and running I'm all ears  <edit> I'll leave a room open in YANG overnight, leave a message and at least I'll know that bit works - room password is GRENADE NoneMoreNegative fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Nov 21, 2012 |

Minidust posted:Anything I should know before giving Jedi Knight an earnest playthrough? I've set up the enhanced models/textures mod, and a thing that lets you switch weapons with the mouse wheel like a modern FPS. Videos appear to play in a small window but that's no big deal. I assume I should expect some level of jank since it's just old and there's no source port available. When you get to the level where you get your lightsaber, pick it up and then take a break if you can - you think: ok, time to chop some dudes; you get: a level full of pretty much one-hit-kill snipers directly afterwards. Man gently caress that level, I played it the first time around and it's just annoyed me all over again

The Bundlestars Retroism pack might have a few things for y'all: https://www.bundlestars.com/en/promotions/retroism-pick-mix Redline, Slave Zero, Nam, Shadow Ops and Eradicator all have that old school FPS/TPS flavour  Also the £1 tier of this bundle has Russian jank-love-in Precursors, can't go far wrong. https://www.bundlestars.com/en/bundle/chaos-bundle

I played 'Terminator Future Shock' as my first ever mlook+ game and I was stuck on Q-A-CapsLock-S for ages, as it was just a little more relaxed finger spacing to WSAD, but a bunch of games wouldn't take Caps as a movement key and I had to go with the flow

Of all the good things in Quake 1, the change of the nailgun from the Mac10 looking SMG in the early tests to the weird double-barrelled mechanism in the retail release wasn't one of them. Never had love for the NG because of that.

Here's something a friend reminded me of today, this was some next-level mindblowing 3d graphics back in the day (1992): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYFdgyuv6fU&t=440s Queued to the first FPS bit but there's also driving and flying sections...

ETPC posted:just chiming in to say SiN owns and it's the true successor to Duke 3D and the fact we will never get another one breaks my goddamn heart There was a new SiN game, but it was not a success IMO; less open-world levels and more locked combat zones that led you through a linear level.

I think it outdoes even Blood as the hitscanniest game; the line between healthy and dead is like a half second coming out of a corridor facing the wrong way.

 Just needs cropping under the REAL LIFE SUCKS and the bargain roundel deleting and voila! an ideal poster for your cube wall. Also Bundlestars has a deal on Steam keys for Quake I, II and III plus the mission packs, but they're 95% sold out after like two hours out of 24 so they'll not be available much longer.

Third rather than first, but I just saw that Rogue Trooper has a remaster set to launch in a few months. It was a criminally overlooked OG Xbox title that was probably the best TPS I played on the platform (tussling with PSiOps and Mercenaries here), maps and enemies were well-designed and fun to come up against, and it was an excellent use of a less-well known IP from British comics. I'll be sticking a preorder on the Steam page as soon as they add the button.

Some of the jumpscares in the original FEAR were good; there was one where you got on a ladder which pulled your viewpoint round and spooky ghost girl was RIGHT THERE and then turned to ash, jesus gently caress!! edit: most I've ever been spooked in a FPS were the mannequins in Condemned: Criminal Origins, doing that 'only move towards you when you're not looking' like a creepier Watson.

Is Rage worth taking a look at these days? Missed it first time around, now surprised it’s over seven years old now (my age is showing) but it’s super cheap for the next 24h on Fanatical / Bundlestars https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/rage

david_a posted:I don’t know what the first game to really solidify FPS controls was. I’m would guess it came out of the Quake community; from what I remember Quake didn’t ship with a menu option for mouselook but you could enable it in the console from day one. Terminator:Future Shock was the first PC game to do the mouselook thing properly in full polygon 3D, even if it used q-capslock-a-s for the movement instead of WASD.

juggalo baby coffin posted:Encountering old fps games from before wasd standardization is like suddenly finding yourself behind the wheel of a car from before they agreed where everything went. It's actually worse than if you'd never learned to drive at all The old PC version of Powerslave came out in the golden era, with mouselook and 100% without any strafe mechanic in place (or the demo at least), talk about not missing something til it’s gone
