co199 posted:Is it bad that I know exactly what map that is on the left from a ten second look at it? Yes, it should only take 3. Also Brutal Doom a great addon to doom/doom2 that just makes everything more brutal (better if you discover everything for yourself). Latest beta: http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/BrutalGZDoomV10PreReleaseTest2.zip Works best with GZDoom (file above) and skulltag: http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/BrutalDoomV10PreReleaseTest2.zip Also makes the enemies a bit more deadly.

Just noticed the new version of Brutal doom is out, this is supposed to be the proper .10 release instead of the buggy .10 initial. Skulltag http://www.4shared.com/file/YNp2IssE/BRUTALDOOMV10B.html GZDOOM http://www.4shared.com/file/UuhieW22/BRUTALGZDOOMV10B.html You can pick up the injured imps as meat shields now (they look sort of cute).

If the BFG is fired so that multiple balls arrive at the same time will it create all the rays for each ball or are all but the last ball's rays cancelled out?

SwissCM posted:I'd love Night Dive to get the rights to Powerslave and port the console version over to the PC, maybe clean it up a bit and add some of the stuff from the Build Engine version. Combine the strengths of all the different versions and make an ultimate edition of the game, essentially. Only if they put the pixelated boobs from the PC beta back in! It would be pretty hard to mix the two together, I guess a console nonlinear system on top of the PC's better levels + build engine would be good. Also what's this "torpedo weapon" mentioned in the new strife release?

Some good things about Academy. You can spend your force power points that you get one of after each mission on whatever you like (want lvl 3 grip first? go for it) Rudimentary ragdoll thing, I don't know what to call it but it sure looks funny. Kill Jawas Kill Rosh Vehicles, id tech 3 vehicles actually. Lots of stages that are designed for you to chuck guys into lava or pits or acid or electricity. Concussion rifles.

Jehde posted:Kinda telling that your first complaint about an early FPS is the graphics. Instead of taking the time refuting your many objectively wrong opinions, I'm just gonna post this speedrun again that does a lot of it for me: This is pretty cool but wait, if you get all the secrets on a level you get another force point?! I never knew this. Also I just wanted to talk about the jedi knight level design again. I'm not sure if it's really bad or good? I thought it was good back when it came out but haven't played it since. What I remember is that the levels were really BIG and not just big as in long but big as in stuff was really BIG compared to other FPS I had played. Big open areas, big drops, big buildings, big crates, Big low poly blocks making up everthing etc. On top of the that there was a lot of verticality and layering in it too. Compared to Quakes confined level design it was pretty impressive at the time (even if quakes smaller levels gave better gameplay).

I was wondering, I haven't played BrutalDoom in a long while, is there a thing that changes the mini-gun back to way it was? I didn't like the new thing where mini-gun could keep an enemy standing up and blown apart while protecting the guys behind him I liked it more where the mini-gun could cut through a cluster of fodder enemies in seconds.

There might already be a thing like this but why isn't there a filter in one of the doom or build engine ports that emulates an analogue display that they were made for like 80/90's console emulators do? Right now you can either have very sharp pixels or mush them with a standard filter but you can't make them look like a 640/480 crt monitor so dithered effects never quite look right.

Ok and the poor focusing of the electron gun (by magnets right?) is what made our monitor all soft looking? I did get a better monitor but that was after 3d games so I've only seen 2.5 games on that old monitor and LCD ones (and the monochrome monitor we had before that, orange doom is the best doom).

RyokoTK posted:Bad gun feel was a real major problem with FPS titles of the early and mid 00s. Half-Life 2 and Far Cry were two other titles that I can immediately think of with the same problem. Soldier of Fortune 2 had some awful gun feel too despite being quite a good game otherwise, you never felt fully in control of the shooting perhaps that's what they were going for. Halo had already demonstrated some excellent gun feel even with some sponge enemies but I guess it was too hard to imitate it correctly.

Sir Lemming posted:I'm with you on that. The running "Can it run Crysis" gag somewhat obscured the fact that it was a high watermark of the "open-ended but not open-world" FPS subgenre. That is to say, linear objectives on very nonlinear maps. Story was generic as hell (like Far Cry) and the aliens were annoying (also like Far Cry) but the overall mission design was top-notch. Multiplayer was quite enjoyable too, it felt like Z but instead of RTS it was FPS with really pretty graphics and you were only half robotic.

BattleMaster posted:I think it's the colour palette. In the 256 colour days you had to be choosy and Duke 3D went with a pretty muted selection. The red sector lighting makes it really obvious compared to Doom or Quake which went with very vivid shades of red. From the way it looks, Ion Maiden is going with more or less the same palette as Duke 3D. Also the weapon and enemy pallet swaps to match the light when you move into the red sector in the pipe.

I've seen them work (fly way up in the air) only back after release and then every time they either do what they do in the video or just jump a few feet then and come back? It does it today on the same disc install that didn't do it 20 years ago, is there something in the physics engine that doesn't like new hardware or high framerates? Same thing that messes with grenade physics?

Do any of the source ports support normal mapping? I was just imagining Duke3d or Blood with lighting and normal mapping added in, I know eduke32 has openGl support for lighting and other effects now and GZ doom can already do normal maps.

Pathos posted:Actually that reminds me - was TekWar as bad as I vaguely remember it being? I think I played a demo of it as a kid and bounced off it pretty hard, but I have no idea why it’s bad or how bad it is. In fact I know very little about it, aside from vague memories that are sorta interspersed with WitchHaven It was really bad but I guess I was dumb enough to find novelty in a little first person city open areas with civilians walking around in them and a little boat and cars doing laps even. It had a VR computer level at the end that I didn't know what the hell to do it was just confusing and flashing lights were everywhere so I gave up. edit: it was somehow worse than I remembered it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2OS4Vl_TUM Pathos posted:Do is it just kind of meh? I remember WitchHaven (which I think was capstone?) being fun-ish when I was a kid, but with really awful level design. My impression was always that TekWar was worse, but I don’t know much about how it actually was. WitchHaven was better but was also kind of boring and looked ugly and uneven, I got as far as a level where you had to jump over a tiny pit full of instant death spikes around the exit tile which I could never figure out how to get over since I'd bounce off the roof jumping over it.
