NoodleBox posted:So I was just thinking about some doom stuff and decided it should be posted here There's also the eight new PSX Doom maps, the two/three new maps from the Jaguar Doom base, the two (terrible) maps included as part of the Doom 3 Collector's Edition for Xbox, the exclusive No Rest For The Living episode included with XBLA Doom 2, the GBA-exclusive multiplayer maps... I think that's everything else.

catlord posted:Weren't the Saturn and Playstation versions pretty much the same and the PC version the odd one out? Ugh, the strafing speed in the PC version is the worst. The console versions run on an original 3D engine, the PC version runs on a pre-DN3D version of Build. Even so, there are are significant differences between the console versions, too - different/modified levels, different enemies, modified powerup behaviour, etc.

The Kins posted:The developers of Prey 2 may or may not have forgotten to do anything outside of their heavily-scripted announcement demo (Lots of he-said-she-said on this...) Just to be clear, a lot of that "he said, she said" centers around Bethesda/Zenimax attempting to forcefully acquire Human Head by forcing them to take loans and then making it impossible for them to ever pay them back, just as they (allegedly) did to Arkane and attempted to do to Splash Damage.

Turok 2 had way, way too many loving weapons, and from what I recall there was no sensible way to switch weapons using a N64 pad - your only option was to cycle left/right through your entire nine-hundred-gun inventory whenever you wanted to switch to another weapon.

Woolie Wool posted:What does the 32x version have over the Genesis version? It requires a 32X, which should be the biggest strike against it. They're both just novelty ports, really, but the vanilla MD port is more interesting to me because I don't think anyone thought the stock MD would be able to handle a game like Wolf as well as it does.

I used to play the 3-level demo quite a lot, and apparently the game had quite a following in it's motherland, with LAN tournaments scene etc. I remember playing this and another game by the same devs called... Madspace? and having a lot of trouble just getting them to run, and then when I finally did get Madspace to run it was a boring piece of poo poo so I quit long before seeing any of the Build-esque gimmick stages I wanted to see.

Mak0rz posted:Wasn't the original Prey in development hell for like ten years too? Yeah, Prey was originally conceived by Tom Hall after he'd finished up on ROTT but it went through a ton of changes and different versions before it finally came out. They were just generally floundering on what they wanted the game to be and how the portal tech was gonna work, I think. Prey 2 is a whole different story - Zenimax bought the IP for god knows what reason and has struggled to do anything with it, and the Human Head game fell apart because Zenimax/Bethesda tried to impose a forced buyout on them and it didn't take, so now they're trying again with Arkane US because they don't want to admit they wasted their money on a dud IP, I guess?

Oh, cool, I was just spitballing. I bet it's another Night Dive job. I always thought the quickest way to find out who owned the rights to Strife would be to just release it yourself and wait to see who sends the cease-and-desist notice.

Yeah you could do pre-calc but why would anyone bother doing that for a system like the Lynx that a) had a tiny ROM capacity and b) had pretty decent (for the time) hardware scaling? It simply wasn't worth the effort. Speaking of weird Duke ports, did anyone mention that Piko Interactive somehow got the rights to the terrible Tectoy Duke game for Megadrive?

Started picking up some of the Team Dolls (at least, the ones I saw elbryan42 pick up in his longplay of the game, which I've been watching out of boredom lately), got what I think is the final weapon, completed the Transmitter (which AFAIK locks me into the good ending)... I'd never heard of this either but the first GIS hit for this guy (Ezra Dreisbach) is a photo of that exact screen.

Zaphod42 posted:This artist Wayne Barlowe did a whole suite of paintings on a concept of Hell that he'd been working on, I think for a book he was writing. The whole thing has an unbelievable sense of scale and reality, he imagines Hell more like a sci-fi planet than a strict afterlife, and the surreal horror of it all is pretty intense. Wayne Barlowe already did the concept art for a big video game, but unfortunately for everyone involved, it was Dante's Inferno.

There were a few games that let you use dual-analogue controls by holding a controller in each hand: Goldeneye, PD, the Star Wars pod racer game, Robotron... one of the Turok games, maybe?
