Due to the simplicity of Quake 3's controls, I've found it enormously helpful to directly map the weapon keys all around the movement keys. I'm a lefty, so I use UHJK for movement. I have the rocket launcher mapped to L and the railgun mapped to G. The others placed similarly, but since those two are the mainstay weapons of Q3, you really need to be able to swap between them instantly. E: vvvv Awesome, I didn't know that.

Essobie posted:Nearby weapon selection keys are great, but I take it a step further and put the "go to" weapon selection on various mouse buttons. Rocket, grenade, and railgun are all on the mouse, and LG is on spacebar (jump is on RMB). Stuff you can hit with a finger that isn't currently trying to move. I started using that at QuakeLive after years of playing all of the Quakes, and now I pretty much do it in any shooter I ever play. Some of us have to use ambidextrous mouses. I'm pretty well satisfied with my Razer Abyssus, even though it only has three buttons and a wheel. Being left-handed rules

Even with the BFG, max energy ammo, and invuln powerups, I STILL died to the barons and cyberdemon like 12 times before I managed to limp away. Who designed that piece of poo poo? Infighting is your friend. The Cyberdemon will fire rockets at you, but hit the Barons instead. The barons will go to town on the Cyberdemon and ignore you completely. The end result is a severely weakened Cyberdemon or 2-3 Barons. If you can't handle either of those outcomes with an invulnerability pickup, I'm amazed you've made it to MAP08 at all.

This may give you some of what you're looking for, it's like an 80s/90s action movie version of his previous Nazis mod: http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=33330 Coincidentally, I was actually about to watch Total Recall again after having watched the remake during the weekend.

Doom is definitely more suited to hellish environments and futuristic techbases, what with its choice in textures and so on.

E: Ok, it says in the description that he's playing it on a PS2, but considering that backwards compatibility was handled by having an actual PS1 built into it, it's pretty drat close to playing it on an original PS1.

Obeast posted:I still haven't played through the original ROTT (I have it on GOG and have tried it a few times, but never got past the first level), but everything I've seen of the remake makes me want to finally play it. I know the later levels in the game are supposed to be a pain, but it still looks fun as hell. The first handful of levels are quite good, the weapons are amazing and the gore is out of this world. Unfortunately, the level design takes a sharp nosedive about halfway in IIRC and the final boss fight pulls one of the biggest dick moves of all time. It's a puzzle boss fight of sorts and puts part of the solution in an unmarked secret area. E: Holy poo poo, I thought the guys at Interceptor Entertainment had a familiar accent in the development diary videos. They're based right here in Denmark! Awesome

Yeah, Kingpin is decently fun in the first part of the game (which was incidentally also the demo) and then it takes a sharp turn into Bullshit City from there. Hitscan enemies with psychic aiming abilities, really stupid "let's throw three guys with rocket launches in a tight hallway" type traps, blurry browny brown brown textures with extra brown on top and endless key hunting. I bought it the last time Steam had it on sale, for nostalgia's sake. I wish I could get a refund.

Geight posted:e: Also is every weapon in the new RoTT an explosive? I haven't played the original but it looked like everything exploded in that deathmatch video. Not that I'd be complaining about that, mind! In the original, the pistol and submachine gun have unlimited ammo. Since you can find a second pistol literally in the first level and the submachine gun soon after, there really isn't any reason to not use the submachine gun all the time. You can, but there's no reason to. The last weapon slot can hold one explosive weapon, you discard it when the ammo is used up. If you pick up another explosive weapon before that, you'll switch to the new one and leave the old one on the ground. In essence, ROTT was actually one of the first "no, you cannot carry around an entire arsenal on your back like you could in Doom" games.

Mercury Crusader posted:Not that having limited weapons in the game was a bad thing. I don't remember there being any ammo pickups, but there were rocket launchers EVERYWHERE! So if you have awful ammo hoarding habits from other FPS of the time, you need to get over it and enjoy just gibbing everything in sight. There were no ammo pickups at all. When you picked up a weapon, you got however many shots that type of weapon had, that's it. And the best kind of enemies would fall to their knees when injured, begging to be left alive. Then they'd keel over and play dead. Get close to them, and they would wake up, go "Ha HA!" and snatch your weapon. Yes, even the firebomb or the firewall. Then they'd usually murder the hell out of themselves and their friends with splash damage.

Yeah, it always did that. Something about the coordinate system in the engine using ints instead of floats for performance reasons or something. Hence, polygons tend to snap to coordinates, all unsynchronized.

Segmentation Fault posted:Is there a way to set the UI in Unreal to scale larger? One of the things that drove me nuts when I played it was the UI being absolutely tiny in modern resolutions. Play it at 640x480 or 800x600 (or a similarly low widescreen resolution) and throw massive amounts of antialiasing at it? That's what I do with games like GTA Vice City and San Andreas. Vice City in particular uses some pixel-based effects that just don't look right at super-high resolutions. It's much more faithful to the original look of the game at 1280x800 with 32xCSAA compared to running it at 1920x1200.
