Zaphod42 posted:Shadow Warrior is kinda the same, most of the levels look decently realistic compared to a random section of Doom which is indeed pretty abstract other than the occasional techbase (which are still pretty abstract; E1M1 is a hangar? what?!) but if you actually look at the whole map and stop and think about it none of it really makes any sense at all and its still designed just like a Doom or Heretic level, just with a little more realistic doodads here and there. E1M1 definitely could be a hangar. The big thing you're staring at at the start is a landing pad, and the window to the acid pool opens up further. (Damned if I remember how though.) It'd have to be a fairly small ship, but then again Doomguy is Commander Keen's distant relative, and his ship was pretty small.

So I was inspired to check out the bundle thanks to this thread, and though I'm very happy with it overall as a bundle, holy poo poo on toast is Daikatana terrible.

haveblue posted:Megatexturing is more than texture streaming, it's a process of compiling every image and combination of images used in the maps into a single game-optimized resource so you can have an effectively unlimited total texture budget and aren't limited to reusing the same tiled images everywhere. The source asset collection for Rage was loving colossal because the artists could composite tons of unique images onto every surface and let the content pipeline deal with it. Wolfenstein TNO really did make use of this. It's hard to notice but pretty much nothing in the game is an obviously re-used texture, apart from signs.

Reading it strictly, Spacechem can't get an iOS port, Minecraft PE can never have redstone, etc etc etc There's a straight up Commodore BASIC interpreter you can get with its own graphics drawing script.

Did he ever finish adding Noah's Ark 3D support? Planning on streaming that on Sunday for shits and giggles, and if I can do non-vanilla I'm going to. I would also accept a GZDoom port like the one for Wolf3D.

Nostalgamus posted:Does anyone here know if zDoom fires weapons slightly lower than other source ports? GZDoom at least fires based on the center of the screen unless you're firing at an enemy, and it's affected by mouselook. From a two second test here though it does look like you end up hitting just below the reticle if you turn that on, so you might be on to something.

mod sassinator posted:Seriously you guys want to think the image is a direct trace from the monster manual, even when there's an entire sprite sheet of images that were created at different angles and poses? Why would they trace one head on image when they're already building the models, photographing them, digitizing them, and cleaning them up so they can get all the angles. You're this confused by the concept of tracing a single image and then making other frames of animation to match it? It's really so far fetched as to be mind blowing? I think you need to get out of the house more often.

Nintendo Kid posted:By that standard cheats are a core mechanic. They're in the game and you can choose whether to use them. Core feature maybe, not core mechanic.

Arivia posted:No, it isn't. That's the entire point of Anita's video - even if we have blank slate characters, their gender, race, agency, etc matter in terms of identifying and working with them. It's the kind of thing that's easy to miss if you're a cis guy who has everything match you, but these broad strokes of identity matter to people not commonly represented. Sounds like if anything he's splitting hairs. A blank slate isn't a good "character", which is his objection, even if a blank slate woman is a good thing in Anita's POV (which is probably right, they're just two people making separate arguments with the same words since people tend to be shortsighted on the internet).

Just watching the Doom 4 short "gameplay" trailer since I hadn't watched it at 60fps and I realized the music is a remix of E1M1.  And the sped-up gameplay that got posted has a "Mein Leben" tossed in there too. Nice touch.

Minidust posted:Don't current-gen consoles still technically render at 720p, just like the last gen? These "HD remakes" of games from like the PS3 are amusing. I guess it's mainly a pedantic complaint, since jumping to 60fps can certainly be a worthwhile improvement. Most PS4 games are 1920x1080 and both systems output to 1080p after scaling. Up-ports generally get a native resolution of 1080p and doubled framerate, like Last of Us, Uncharted, or Tomb Raider, so I'd expect Bioshock to get the same treatment.

Minidust posted:Reaching back a bit, but how does one run Perdition's Gate? I grabbed the .ZIP but it contains what looks like the full file structure of a DOS-era game. I see files called PG-RAW.WAD and PG-RAW-X.WAD, as well as a bunch with DEMO in the title. Do I just throw one of those into a source port and call it a day, or are there other assets and stuff I need to use from that zip? Same question with the ZDoom TC of Wolfenstein actually. It comes with a bunch of .bat launcher files, but... I'm on a Mac.  I've tried loading the assorted files and cfg's on top of Doom 2 but it keeps crashing with actor errors.
