There is a pretty cool fan remake of M1 called Marathon Resurrection for Unreal Tournament.

It adds the shotguns and the flechette smg into the arsenal :haw:

I tried to do KISS psycho circus but it was so loving gloomy i just felt depressed the whole time. it wasnt like a scary twisted circus, it was like a fuckin closed circus, which is more melancholy than spooky.

i've tried to play through it twice on my ongoing quest to play all the weird FPSes i tried the demos for from PC magazine demo discs back as a kid and there's something just so uniquely and singularly fatiguing about it, honestly. The Gauntlet-ish monster generators make it so much of a slog that i've never made it past the 5th or 6th level

The only other game that i've been completely unable to pick back up is the atrocious Klingon Honor Guard. Just an absolute ugly slog

You may remember Mega64 doing a wholesome version of Duke Nukem (with JSJ!) in 2011 called Doug Huggem

This thing?

They're all free with a modern source port here. To make it even easier, they'll be making them available through Steam itself in the presumably-nigh future.

I can tune a fish.
I remember being intrigued by Psycho Circus back in ye olden days of the LP subforum where people were doing LPs of all sorts of crusty old shooters. I wouldn't say it looked good even back then, but it looked different and quirky enough to make me wish it was at least easily available on digital platforms so I could try it myself. Other games in this milieu included Blood 2 and SHOGO.

Shogo was a game I had on a demo disk that ran like poo poo on an ancient win95 machine my family owned, that I'd always wanted to try out later because MECHS and was gutted to discover it was rough as hell

I never got into Marathon for the extremely mature reason of not liking FPS games with cartoon sprites instead of sick digitized clay models

I'm doing another playthrough of M2 right now with a mod that adds a soundtrack. Having a good time. I always thought of M2 had an official soundtrack it would sound similar to Alexander Brandon et al's work on Unreal.

Do you have a link to that? One of the things I love about Marathon is the soundtrack, so hearing 2 doesn't have one is disappointing.

I need to jump back into Marathon, I set it down a bit ago and never got around to picking it back up, but I do quite like it.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

There might be other options out there but I use the Marathon 2 Special Edition plugin since it's drag and drop, no need to delve into lua. Mixture of M1 remixes and fanmade tracks.

I'm not aware of any comparable project for Infinity sadly.

In a curveball nobody will ever see coming, it'll turn out they're doing the Oblivion remake

On that note I think a 2.5D CRPG in the vein of Morrowind but with the Doom engine or something like it could be awesome if there was real talent and vision behind it.

i actually enjoyed ROTT 2013 even though it's a C/D-grade game, but yea they really botched Kingpin it seems like. needlessly. Graven probably wasn't going to be amazing but when the layoffs happened there was basically no chance that they were going to be able to properly finish or polish it

that's why Phantom Fury coming out next month is so cursed. 3DR has to know how rough it is. if they charge $20+ for it, it's practically malfeasance

if you can make it all the way through 50 hours of Fantasian (as we both have) you can probably make it through, what, 3 hours of gameplay I'm assuming Phantom Fury will have? tops?

I was going to guess 6-8, but achieving that with things like an extremely dull vehicle section without any meaningful challenge and levels with arbitrary and boring backtracking with poorly signposted layouts. Maybe if we get real spicy a bonus mode that just consists of unfinished level parts they couldnt be bothered to stitch into a whole.
