Rage was loving terrible. No direction and the main missions felt like side quests.

His obsession with castles and poo poo is annoying. I don't want to play another Quake. I want to play another Doom. Maybe they should just mod Doom 2 and release it. I bet they'd make millions just doing that for half the work. Everyone is fine with playing retropixely poo poo, and if Romero is doing all the levels what's the problem? poo poo out 20 more Doom 2 levels, throw a $60 pricetag on it, and it'll outsell Doom 4.

88h88 posted:Nah, it's a solid 8+ hours in but it's obvious the game was rushed out when they had planned for more. Game's great, the combat is nice and weighty, the shotgun as always in id games is immense, the amount of different ammo and such you can create is top notch, it just all comes to an end too soon. That said I only paid like $10 for it, I can forgive a lot. Yeah I never understood the seething rage (heh) everyone seems to have for Rage. It was short and it didn't need the open-world component but at the same time it had some of the most satisfying shooting action in any FPS I've ever played. I remember the section where you go deep into some abandoned city also being a really really fun time, lot's of constant tense action and all. Even the vehicle sections weren't really bad. I guess there must have been a lot of nerds who expected Rage to be the second coming of Doom or Quake but for something that I grabbed cheap on a sale it was pretty sweet.

Romero released a brand new Doom level he made recently (for the 20th anniversary or something?) and compared to the user WADs being put out today it was not very good. The level building community is in an entirely different league from what Romero was doing in the 90s (and is apparently still doing).

error1 posted:John Carmack will always be my hero for taking a really firm stance against software patents. He fostered a lot of great third party game development by insisting that iD never ever file any patents, licensing their technology and open sourcing the Quake engines. John Carmack is an engine-coding God, but now that you've got whole teams of people building Frostbite for Battlefield, or RAGE for Grand Theft Auto, his genius kind of falls to the wayside because he isn't nearly as good at making modern games to back the technology up. Romero and Lesser Carmack can't design a game that would sell well. They're convinced that people want a throwback FPS with no complications to interrupt the shooting of aliens or demons, but all the big action franchises are the ones that give you a ton of options to play them. It's embarrassing seeing them try to convince people they're really looking for a throwback FPS because it's pretty obvious that people WANT a ton of complications and options. They're so out of touch. Also I think Adrian Carmack owns a hotel in the very area Romero is trying to set up shop in Ireland... must be a coincidence though!

Moridin920 posted:idk I'd buy the poo poo out of a re-skinned Unreal Tournament and some additional maps (especially assault mode ones) A bunch of people would buy it, but they're going to right back to whatever CoD or Battlefield game let's them make a bright pink sniper rifle once the old-school simplicity gets tired. Halo is about as simple as games get these days, and even that gives you 100x more options than UT or Quake 3 did. And unfortunately, game engines have gotten so complicated that the days of big mods are over - we'll probably never see another mod like Counter-Strike or Action Quake 2.

I think that you're right that people look at older games with rose colored glasses - DOOM obviously doesn't stand up to modern FPS games in a truly objective reckoning. However, I think it is also true that many modern games are either simplified (usually in the case of RPG/strategy games) or are missing something slash overspecialized themselves (like CoD). Like, I love playing some CoD or Battlefield don't get me wrong... but they are slow. And boring a lot of the time. Yeah, there's more options in terms of weapons and customization and whatever the gently caress. Even so, they feel like molasses compared to the twitch shooters of old. People tell me I'm just getting over gaming or whatever but... nah. I can still waste a whole weekend playing a 4x game. I guess what I'm saying is I want fast paced shooters with crazy mechanics that are also modern with a ton of customization/options? Idk I think there's a fair middle ground... I am getting kinda burned out on military 'tactical' shooters. I never really liked Counter-Strike. I don't have a ton of nostalgia for old games but there's some that just have a goddamn fun formula, simple or not. UT is one of those because of the fast pace of play. But there's all these developers that were young in the 80s/90s and I think they're confusing people getting over the same formulaic AAA games that are just another iteration of themselves with little changes and some new maps with 'people want the old games again because they were better.' I mean goddamn how many times can we see 'AK47, MP5, M14, M4A1, Barrett .50 Cal, etc.' before it gets old? Give me a loving flak cannon and let me shred fools into tiny little bloody gibs. Give me some interesting weapons in a fast paced game and for the love of god don't turn it into another goddamn MOBA. Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Apr 27, 2016 |

You're not going to see a big super fast dumb shooty FPS in the next decade, I don't think. At least not one with the budget to support all the maps and crazy amount of enemies you need to make it fun. That insanely fast style of action game has shifted over to the third person brawlers like DMC and Bayonetta.

The world's lead tech company HoXor is running simulations in a blackroom and something goes wrong. You are Santiago Senora and you are called in to clean up the mess. So they are going to simulate a western town, a castle, etc. and you can "hack" the environment. lol

Seriously, it's like he watched that one William Gibson-penned X-Files episode "FPS". Although, I'm pretty sure this is all setup for a "trapped in the MMO" scenario where you're somehow really in the game world instead of fighting virtual enemies in a box.

i was re-watching Proteus's LP of Quake 2 and he did a good explanation about why that game and Daikatana sucked -Daikatana sucked because it was 100% john romero's project. all the stupid poo poo in that game was his idea. it was a disaster, but at least it was a memorable one -Quake 2 sucked (well, the single-player mode did) because it had zero input from romero. the result was a dull game with boring enemies and lame weapons i don't know what kind of poo poo this game will be, but make no mistake about it: it will be lovely spud posted:Ok I'm going to say it:
