This thread is wonderful.  So i wonder if any of you saw or played this too, a loooong while back a quake total conversion (and stand alone if i remember correctly) was shipped alongside a computer book, in its own box and everything. The game itself was good for the time (or my young expectations), an improvement on the quake formula at least, sadly i dont remember its name, all i remember is the rough outline of the setting and the ending. You're a mercenary, you've just finished doing a job when the guy who regularly buys your services dodges the bill again and decides that killing you instead of paying you is the smart choice, que that plan not working and you going forth to get your money and revenge. The ending is you finding his hoard of gold bullion after beating him in a good old fashioned fps slapfight. The setting was a gritty sci-fi but not too far flung. Anyone know it?

The Kins posted:Sounds like Malice, maybe? Yep, you got it in one. I dont really intend to replay it, but i just wanted to remember what it was, maybe dig out a video play through/letsplay of it and relive some nostalgia. The other game mentioned on this thread, Strife: Quest for the Sigil, is one of my most loved FPS's and a huge inspiration to me. I really want to write a book set in a universe similar, sure its very cheesy and mostly played straight but there is something very compelling about its blend of mythic fantasy, a normal-by-all-standards world suddenly being upturned by the arrival of a cosmic being that brings industry, firearms, mech's and castles guarded by force fields. Its such a wonderful clusterfuck of a setting and if anyone knows of any other settings like it, feel free to share with me.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good way to play doom multiplayer? Trying it with an buddy and we keep getting desynched (Was using Hamatchi), plus its giving us the deathmatch weapons and i've totally forgotten how to flag that off.  Listening to him burst into laughter at how crazy brutal doom is was fun while it lasted tho

SurrealityCheck posted:Did you guys hear about the ROTT remake coming? RotT was another one of the classic "Batshit insane map design" era fps's right? I only remember it for the hand of god and dogmode powers. If it was another map design era game, i worry for a remake, since it seems modern studios cant get the design right anymore. Then again, maybe judging the industry by the standard set by Duke Nukem Forever is unfair, Serious Sam the 3rd was alright.

Red_Mage posted:I disagree, I would love to see some of the Black Ops/Modern Warfare maps ported to doom/quake, especially for multiplayer. Also the level of hidden stuff designed into the zombie mode maps is ludicrous. This is awesome. I guess some devs are still living the spirit of crazy level design, just trying to find ways to express it that wont get their managers seeing red?

The Kins posted:Back to Saturn X: Episode 1 has been released! 20 maps, three years in the making. Should run on all source ports, though if you're using ZDoom you should grab a SVN build. These maps are so good!  Been playing it co-op with a buddy and its hell of alot of fun.Any other good suggestions for co-oping? Gonna give DTST a go in single player, how about DTWID: The Lost Episodes or Winter's Fury? Winter looks rather awesome but im not sure if its SP only.

So me and a buddy finished up with Back to Saturn X with Brutal Doom, and god drat it was a blast. Would like to know if the author has the music setup anywhere for download, so many catchy tracks. And if anyone knows how to get to the secret level, the level that you need to be on to access it would be appreciated unless more details are kinda needed.

Seconding the blood suggestion, such a great game. So i've never played System Shock 2, had the demo, watched the letsplay, where can i get it, do i need to do some tinkering to get it to work, and is there a good source of making it look nicer without it being some contrived and painful install? For a game this loved, it sure seems like pulling teeth to find. Wanting it Honest looks like it'll cost me the same as a new release. Yeah, dont think i want it that badly.  Install Gentoo posted:I like SiN because it's goofy. Also because a lot of its problems don't really mean anything nowadays - like how it would sometimes use a few hundred megabytes of space for saves or sometimes just have bad framerate out of nowhere on video cards back in the day. I never played SiN, but i got my hands on a free copy of episodes (with a 3d card i think) which i honestly enjoyed. Not exactly a superb game but some really nice levels. How much is Episodes like SiN?

dark1x posted:Can't agree with you there. Painkiller subscribes to the Serious Sam formula by presenting a series of wide open, flat rooms and hallways flooded with waves of enemies. This is not how Doom was designed to play. Doom focused more on "unlocking" the map through finding key cards. Those cards, however, were not simply random items that you would find lying about, rather, the end result to essentially "solving" each combat scenario. There were times when you would clearly see a key right at the beginning of the map and you would have to spend 15 minutes figuring out how to actually get TO that key in order to unlock the next section. Enemies were not always encountered in large numbers and the levels demanded exploration. Thank you. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one, yet i could never fully articulate why serious sam didn't feel like doom at all to me. Still a superb game regardless.

gooby on rails posted:A map only helps when you don't support room-over-room. Some of the levels in Marathon 2 and especially Infinity are utterly incomprehensible on the map view. Metroid Prime did it alright. Sure it took getting used too but once you're comfy you're mostly set for good. http://jansenprice.com/metroid/met5_mp/mp_3dmaps.html To be fair 'tho, we can debate how heavily "3D" this map really is. It doesn't overlap very often at all. I think Prime 2/3 might have done that more but its been forever since i played them.

Sci-fi setting. Multiple people to pick from at the start, influenced weapon choices i think. You were in a mine, refinery and military complex, it had gone nuts and was the only source of GO-FASTER ore in the universe. You fought your way past processing lines, refinery centres and mining and the plot was you getting thrown in there as a mercenary to murder everything, bring control back and collect your pay check. I THINK the character choices were a loving huge alien green thing with some crazy arm blade and a honourable death wish, a lady merc too who was the "go faster and stab things" type and in it for the crazy money. The third guy being the generic space marine type. I might be getting things mixed up. Ring any bells? VVV Eradicator. Thyrork fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Apr 4, 2013 |

I also vaguely remember it being hard as balls and rather atmospheric with its details.

Back To Saturn X i cannot recommend enough. My enjoyment of that might be skewered due to Brutal Doom and co-oping the entire thing on whatever passed as BTSX's "hard co-op." Spider Mastermind around the first corner on level 1, gawd drat.

Mak0rz posted:Dude that's not even funny. Couldn't agree more.  Seriously now, with Duke, i must agree with a poster a few pages back. Duke3d is just so absent in my headspace. The only significant thing i remember is being rather freaked out by the birthing cinematic at the start of the 4th chapter as a teen. Blood? Blood i remember vividly. The train, the fairground level, the morge. The weapons, the bosses the quotes... Doom i remember clearly for its co-op. I even remember Quake better and, i'd say Duke3d was the better game of the two! But its just gone unless i really dig deep into memory. Its surprises me, considering how much i played it, how utterly forgettable it is.

Question about Project MSX, was it multiplayer in the previous beta and/or is it going to be multiplayer in this upcoming one?Chinese Tony Danza posted:EDIT: Also, since we've been talking about Serious Sam and Painkiller a bit lately, I have to say, am I going to get drawn and quartered for saying I just don't really care for either of them? Nope, im in the same boat! Serious Sam's movement is just... too... slow... Serious Sam 2 added a speed boosting pickup, if i could have that on all the time, it would feel right. Painkiller seemed great fun to me, but i had some FPS issue that caused it to go away too high and become unplayable. That killed my interest for that game pretty quick, even 'tho i expect its an easy fix. The slaughterhouse room's never bugged me, because i was playing Serious Sam Co-op, and Painkiller's interest quickly evaporated.

When a team outside of your immediate demesne does something good, it makes you look bad by comparison, so your goal is to kill all possible threats to your authority. Especially when a bunch of fans makes a product that's actually better than your multi-million dollar project. They have to die before they release somethign playable because otherwise you can't write them off as being an unviable project with a few pretty screenshots. ...
