Here's something goofy from the demoscene types: Skilander, a completely new BUILD engine game (ie. it's not a standalone eDuke32 mod) made in four weeks for Revision 2024, featuring four scenic locations to ski down, a bangin' tracker soundtrack, "borrowed" Jill of the Jungle sound effects, and someone attempting to an impersonation of Sean Connery from Highlander trying to imitate a Finnish accent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC190KIkhPY

They shut down everything that wasn't using their modern Epic Online Services system, including things like Rock Band 2. Read into that as you will.

The big update is out for the System Shock remake, along with a 55%-off sale. If you haven't been paying attention, this adds a female player model option, a completely redone finale, optimisations for the Steam Deck crowd, and a list of changes and fixes about as long as your arm.

ROTT Ludicrous Edition has received a big update, adding multiplayer to the console ports (with full cross-play with pc), level stats on the automap, one final alternate actor from the cutting room floor, 4k 120fps support on Xbox Series, and the usual assortment of bug fixes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtpImURZq6c

The Descent 3 source code has been released. It's not compilable out of the box due to missing proprietary bits for video files etc. but hopefully it can get massaged into something that makes running Descent 3 on modern systems slightly less of a mess.

There's probably some mechanic where the grenade stops exploding on impact after a certain condition was met, but I couldn't science it out or understand the source code, so instead I'm going to spread flagrant misinformation in the hopes of summoning someone who actually knows their stuff: It stops doing impact damage after two bounces.

skasion posted:Halo 3 shipped with its own multiplayer but without firefight. ODST came out a couple years later and includes firefight + the Halo 3 multiplayer client on a separate disc. It never had its own multiplayer, unless you count firefight. In the MCC era they added the special ODST weapons into Halo 3 MP as well.

Rev. Melchisedech Howler posted:Didn't the Cultic dev say he'd played an updated build and that it was vastly improved? I'd normally take such comments with a pinch of salt but Cultic slaps extremely hard and their opinion carries more weight I'm watching a streamer play it now. Graphics are very nice, but performance seems wonky and the game code side of things undercooked. So, the Slipgate Usual, then.

Escape Goat posted:Been meaning to play Voyager Elite Force for years, since I remember PC Gamer loved it back in the day. GoG ports work good on Win10? Or are there source ports? Also, for EF2, quickly punch com_maxfps 80 into the console at some point. This slightly lowers the default FPS cap, fixing zero-gravity areas.

That tweet is incredibly lame, the stuff they're leaking/citing as a disaster is generic water-cooler talk that completely lacks any controversy or bite and the running-to-teacher @-ing of youtubers to try and rope them in is aggressively shameful. There's plenty to complain about with 3DR, Slipgate and their recent output without having to even open the barrel, let along scrape the bottom of it.

Total Chaos now has a Steam page. Remember that GZDoom TC that looked like a relatively modern game? The developer went on to do Turbo Overkill, and now he's returned to remake his old hobby project in A Proper Big-Boy Engine as a bit of a victory lap.

A console version of Phantom Fury has been announced as hitting PS5 and Xbox Series on May 30. Which… seems a bit ambitious, let’s just say. In addition, the demo version of Selaco will be delisted from Steam around the end of the month, since it’s basically an outdated version of the start of the game and saves won’t cross over… don’t worry too much though, all of the demo versions will be shunted over to Archive.org for posterity’s sake.

Recently someone suggested a weapon idea for my mod - a Demon Core in a gun-shaped lead casing that you "fire" by jiggling a screwdriver poking out the side. I'm probably going to do this, to be honest.repiv posted:didn't someone figure out that if you delete certain package files in BL3 it mercifully just skips all the dialogue

The first proper Descent 3 source port is out! PiccuEngine, by the developer of the old InjectD3 hack, adds lots of much-needed quality of life features like windowed mode, widescreen support, FOV controls, 60fps support, and the return of graphical features that weren't implemented in OpenGL Mode. https://twitter.com/VinciusMedeiro6/status/1785834019168346419

Arkane Austin was a ghost town after the post-Redfall brain drain. Even if they weren't shut down, they'd never be the same again. I heard rumors earlier today about Tango bleeding staff, which'd track since Shinji Mikami left and when big-name creatives and other higher-ups leave studios, other people tend to follow or take their own cue to leave. (Id lost a good few veterans to Oculus when Carmack got fired, for example - just one chapter of their pre-2016 strife). I wouldn't be shocked if both studios had been brain drained by circumstance beyond the point of capability.

UHD posted:carmack was fired? in hindsight that doesn't surprise me, but i didn't know his departure was involuntary People definitely followed him to Oculus, though, like the late Jan Paul "MrElusive" van Waveren, who was responsible for the Quake 3 bots and the OpenXR standard.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Amusingly, the departures of all four of id's cofounders were more-or-less involuntary. Tom Hall either quit, was fired, or a hazy mix of both simultaneously during the development of Doom. John Romero was fired around the time of Quake 1's release. Adrian Carmack quit in 2005 and took Id to court over attempts to force him to sell his share of the company. John Carmack left during "Doom 4 1.0" development and got sued by Bethesda over allegations of taking code over to Oculus with him. A pretty torrid history, really, but it's easy to forget since other studios have been way the gently caress more torrid in recent history. Speaking of great games with torrid development cycles, noted indie developer Zane_Rocks_36 popped back up today to announce that Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer will be coming to Playstation and Switch on May 15th... with a mysterious teaser at the end... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOr3g9TQyYM

Milo and POTUS posted:Still no word on ch 2 release, but I don't use twitter which is where I imagine it'd be. I heard Fallen ACes was supposed to drop soon, but that's also up in the air it seems Cultic Chapter 2 has no release date yet, but Jason semi-regularly posts clips on Twitter when he’s not getting into arguments with YouTubers about Phantom Fury, so progress at least seems consistent. Based on those, I can authoritatively hypothesise that it will have escalators, ladders and a level set in and/or near a mall.
