The Kins posted:High Noon Drifter has gotten a big update including, among other things, Hexen support that lets you snap the Centaurs out of their shielding state with your whip. And gollly the Hexen monsters are such HP sponges... I'm sure it would be a better game with halved HPs for monsters. Thank God whip take cares of the centaur shield stance.

TheGreasyStrangler posted:Make a 3D recreation of MAP01 in UE 4 Oh don't worry I know it's an absurd amount of work. Which is why I was kinda hoping just making levels in Doom would burn me out. But now that I've looked the amount of things you can do to Doom is so insane and I had no idea. Also there's tonnes of games worth of wads and mods out there to play as well. I'm sure it's no surprise to a lot here, but I thought Doom mods were like Simpsons Doom and the like. What's out there should keep me busy and safe from the rabbit hole of making an FPS in a modern engine.

The base enemy, the Ettin, has 200 HP. The pinky demon has 150. The Heresiarch has 5000 HP, compared to the Cyberdemon's 4000. And can turn invulnerable/reflective at will. You might want to turn the damage slider up!

I didn't see this posted anywhere, but there's a pretty good custom campaign for Turok: Dinosaur Hunter that was released a couple of weeks ago. It's available on the Steam Workshop. But here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHzt5LSMqFg It has some interesting design, and a number of the weapons have been slightly altered (grenades now explode into a number of smaller grenades, for example), but there's a water platforming section that, for me at least, was pretty brutal. But I'm bad at games, so your mileage may vary.

What just occurred to me is that, if HL3 were to be announced in the next year or so, the time lapse between HL2 and HL3 (15-16 years) would basically be the same as the time difference between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace (16 years).

Holy poo poo it was only 16 years between the first two trilogies? Time is a gently caress. Also, I am laughing alone in my apartment at the thought of the Dr. Zaius scene in the Planet of the Apes musical from The Simpsons but its Vortigaunts singing about Gordon Freeman.

(1977, 1980, 1983) Lucas had been planning to just keep doing that, have an Episode I come out in 1986, II in 89, III in 92, VII in 95, etc. But for various reasons, that never ended up happening and so I gets delayed to 99, the year after VIII was expected to be out.

ETPC posted:Is there any reason why I should not switch to vkQuake from QuakeSpasm? You'll probably be fine, since for now the developer seems to be keeping up with QuakeSpasm changes. I'd kind of flip that around though and ask what the reason is to make the switch? vkQuake seems like more of a technical experiment (and maybe some mild future-proofing of the Quake codebase) that doesn't buy you any major benefits that I know of.

Shadow Hog posted:For some reason, I thought the question was about FTEQW, the Quake source port wot has HRTF (and... actually, I'm not sure what else it offers beyond OpenAL support). FTE is a real swiss-army-knife engine that does a ton of stuff. The developer is way down the rabbithole of understanding Quake technical issues (and rendering/physics/networking stuff in general)... but unfortunately he's kind of allergic to finalizing/packaging/blessing/advertising stable releases. Or keeping up-to-date docs about the engine features & usage. There's some general (and outdated) FTE info here: http://fte.triptohell.info/ And mushi has taken a whack at evangelizing FTE here: https://qexpo2016.com/author/mushi/ It's a fun thing to experiment with if you're a Quake engine collector. And it probably supports any map/mod that other current engines do, although there's always the issue that Quake behaviors are so poorly specified and/or reliant on certain bugs that the thing that matters most is the engine that a map/mod was specifically tested against. For that reason it's always good to have Quakespasm handy.

Speaking of which... latest QS release here: http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/download.htm changelog here: https://sourceforge.net/p/quakespasm/news/2017/11/quakespasm-0930/ Particularly note that the (recommended) SDL2 version is now just called "quakespasm.exe".

FTEQW is by far and away the best quake engine. It can run quake 1, 2, and 3. And hexen 2. It supports every extended limit imaginable. It can run client side quakec, which makes things like custom huds, networking and all sorts of crazy things possible. Spike the developer is always very helpful - sadly the documentation is lacking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXgDwiRwBpY Plus who doesn't love pretty blue lights? c0burn fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Nov 20, 2017 |

I think I tried that source port with the demo once, but it didn't work. That said, it's probably because I used the demo, not the full game, given, well, I don't own the full game, so

Regular Nintendo posted:I thought I was literally the only person who kinda liked this game, albeit as not such a huge syndicate fan The first Syndicate was okay, but Syndicate Wars was a real improvement. They were never really on the same level as Xcom, but they were meant to be more arcadey isometric shooters, which I liked, so the FPS did deliver to an extend for a fan like me. Fun fact: most of the people that worked on the game went on to work on the Wolfenstein reboots.

Shadow Hog posted:I mean, that's what Sound Canvas VA is going for, innit? (Different product from Virtual Sound Canvas, apparently.) I've been using it for the better part of a year and I dig it. Kinda wish it had capital tone fallback, though. I really don't mind the SCVA, but it still can't manage to recreate the same samples from the original hardware. Some of the instruments sound really muffled or missing something. MariusLecter posted:Does F.E.A.R. count in the ragdoll discussion? Cause drat were the ragdolls satisfying in that game.
