Minidust posted:I just tried out "Smooth Doom." Is "Smooth Weapons" included in that or is it something different? I'm not sure how compatibility goes for mods that change a lot. If they're using the standard sprites/animations and sounds, then it should work. Works for most of the popular vanilla style WADs at least.

That game has been really underapprciated for a very long time. I'm hoping this encourages some Doom mappers to dabble with Quake 1 mapping because you can do a lot of cool stuff with it.

I concur, my preference for all FPS source ports is openGL mode, but with good ol' pixels.

Zaphod42 posted:Part of that is rose colored glasses (NEAREST_NEIGHBOR mapping gives you that PS1-era shifty pixels look that's "classic") and nostalgia, it reminds you of old Quake but it doesn't necessarily look better. Its just what you're used to.

Yeah, by Half-Life I always preferred GL mode. Even Quake2 I didn't mind the blurriness, plus the textures weren't much to look at anyway. Also actually, in Quake I don't really mind that much either way. I've been playing a lot of Doom lately, that's one where I'm more especially into the pixels. I do prefer the pixelly art a little bit in Quake 1 though, but it looks fine smoothed.

Dominic White posted:I don't really think so. At high resolution, with mipmapping and AA/AF, I think it retains the sharpness of the textures while still looking good in motion. I do run it with just about every other possible modern upgrade cranked to full - the only thing I disable is the bilinear filtering. GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR is the only one I use at the moment, and I think maxfps. I found this page of FitzQuake settings anyway. I see gl_texture_anisotropy is 1 by default, not seeing the anti-aliasing setting. And do you know if you can change the crosshair size in quakespasm? Probably not, would be cool though.

The crazy labyrinth-esque design of the city felt so fun to mess around in, very 90s compared to the more "just design a real place" type of stuff you see today. Shooting a rope arrow to climb up and around and drop down into some weird alley to get through a crack to another part of town etc, I give that crazy city 10 stars out of 10.

I've also never played a game with multiple monitors, would be interesting to have Doom with super wideness across two monitors. My second monitor is my TV on the other side of the room, so I couldn't really do that kind of fancy stuff. (edit: this was quoted in a more recent post, woops necro-replying here)

Agent Kool-Aid posted:bioshock infinite is amazingly bad and made me miss bioshock 1 (and 2, which honestly had more improved gameplay in basically every way) And Doom (4) looks very promising, though we haven't seen too much of the single player. What little we've seen seems Doomy enough to be a very respectable sequel. We have Cacodemons floating around, Revenants, run and gun gameplay, no modern cover malarkey etc, I'm pumped. I wouldn't judge it's Doomyness by the multiplayer, which is outsourced and not by id anyway. Though looks fun in it's own right. Also don't forget to get pumped for the Bombshell tie-in FPS shareware made on the Duke 3D engine (eduke32 version). (edit: Speaking of Bioshock and Doom, did you know a level designer from Bioshock recreated an area of the game as a Doom 2 level?

The Kins posted:Because Vanquish sold like four copies and the concept of FPS Parkour has been forever tainted by Brink. And Vanquish is cover shooter, has some Gears of War in it's DNA... which is in my humble opinion the worst kind of shooter imaginable. Just dull. Sitting behind a short wall simulator.

uncleKitchener posted:You didn't actually play Vanquish, did you? The game penalizes you for actually staying in cover and not being on the go. Isn't that what made Doom fun? I did have Vanquish. The game has lots of little cover thingies a'la Gears of War, and you're expected to check back in to the ol' cover periodically. You just got to powerslide around and whatnot between spots where you hide and shoot at people. It's a twist on the cover shooter genre I guess, but it is part of it. I didn't make it up or something. As I recall if you tried to never use cover, it wouldn't go well. Not a run and gun game in the Doom mold in my opinion. But hey I can dig that you're saying you like one game, and you'd like another game to have stuff you like from it. In that vein. Random note, I love that Doom finally has a jump button. Though the classic Doom levels often made use of vertical aspects and run jumping. One thing I'd like to see is a decent amount of traversing around with some platforming/jump puzzles to some degree. And just put teleporters at the bottom to put you back up if you mess up. Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Oct 25, 2015 |

Not to sound like a broken record from a page or so ago, but we've barely seen any of the single-player game. I'd like to see or play a good ten minutes somewhere past the cinematic tutorial where you first get the shotgun etc. What are the levels like, how's the flow? We don't know yet. But my vibe based on how they've described it and talked about it is very positive, and I like what we've seen so far.

Bathtub Cheese posted:Who are you trying to convince? I'm trying to convince Bathtub Cheese that... I'd enjoy watching some gameplay of game Doom (2016) by id to see how the levels are. That's my thing. I just see a lot of negativity towards the game, but it seems to mostly be assumptions. At least when talking about id's game. Certain Affinity's multiplayer component has the alpha to go on anyway. We can be optimistic or pessimistic, it's all good, I just don't quite know where the negativity for the game we've barely seen is coming from. For example the important questions. Will be find a red skull key to open a door? Or, is it Half-Life 2 modern style, where we gather gave five skulls to fill a bucket that pulls a pulley to release a demonbird from a cage to fly through a hole which opens the door. They scrapped the Call of Doom version of the game years back, so we probably won't just watch a cutscene where you open the door at least. The most hilarious was Killzone 3, where there was a quick cutscene for any action other than walking in a straight line. There was probably a cutscene for half the doors in the game, hell maybe half the stairs too. Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Oct 26, 2015 |

For the DukePlus menu key, go into keybinds, rebind it to something else, then rebind it back to pgup or whichever key you want. There's a quirk where by default added commands for mods don't work until you manually set them in the menu. And to get HRP working with it you click the use autoload folder option with the HRP stuff in the autoload folder. And always bet on Duke.

It's, like...overly precise and floaty at the same time. Fuckin' shame. Are you talking about the classic renderer, or have you tried the OpenGL ports (polymost mode in eduke, or megaton edition)? Feels like normal mouse look thats the same as GZDoom, Quake, or anything else to me. But the original renderer has that weird thing where if you look up and down it stretches and looks wacky, but still was good for the time.

Doom and Doom 2 definitely deserve your time, and so does Quake I'd say. But I can see why the maybe the bleakness of Quake or whatevers may put it behind the others there for you, but try 'em all I'd say. You'd probably also dig stuff like No One Lives Forever, but that's a bit less oldschool. Also if you don't mind configuring source port program thingies after buying a game, Duke 3D has eduke32, Doom 1 & 2 have GZdoom, Quake has Quakespasm, etc. Though Duke's Megaton Edition port on Steam is solid as well.

On the talk of ranking or comparing stuff like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, and Quake... (my fav is Duke 3D), those right there are the best ever! They all aged like fine wine and are easily the top three for user made SP content. (including Doom 2 of course) Give me a new FPS with inventive level design like that, somebody. I do dig the Half-Life style of the more cinematic narrative adventure most go for, that's good too. Somebody make a new FPS with some levels that feel interesting and fun to check out. And preferably with a fast pace. And don't be afraid to go a bit abstract with it.
