Goddamn I love Brutal Doom; it made my old disc of Doom 2 feel fresh and new with all that arachnotron-mangling, flipping-off action. I'd love to get in on some coop action with any of you guys over Steam. Anyone have some suggestions on level .wads that go well with it? I never really got into Doom mods prior to that Stronghold defense game of yesteryear, and I need more excuses to pull the arms off of those rear end in a top hat Revenants and bat their smug faces into the next level.

Vertigus posted:Brutal Doom makes any Doom map pack 10x more fun. Even those horrible maps that make you fight imps and barons with your BARE loving HANDS. Also, I finally got through Hell Revealed with Brutal Doom (on hurt me plenty) You gotta love dying fifty times to a Spider Mastermind in a dead-end elevator room until you finally get it in your head to frantically sprint and jump entirely over the drat thing's enormous sprite, grab the key, then rocket to back to the elevator you came from at single-digit health. Also gently caress Reverants on Brutal Doom. They happily launch volley after volley of high-damage missiles that home in on your green rear end and then proceed to beat you int the face with their little bony fists at a million miles per hour. But on the other hand every time I manage to RIP-AND-TEAR one it's like a little Christmas.

Zero Star posted:This cannot be overstated. Revenants are cocks who will quite happily fire missiles into your face at point-blank range as a counter-attack. ...Which makes every opportunity to bat their heads off with their own arms a cathartic experience in Brutal Doom. Those assholes run faster than imps, punch harder than demons, and poo poo out rockets like they're going out of style. Quick question, where does Skulltag save screenshots/how can I change the screenshot directory? I need to show other visual evidence of why Brutal Doom is so amazing, but I can't seem to find the screenshots folder no matter how much digging I do.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:In my experience, most Brutal Doom + WADs are usually pretty fun on HMP or UV. The problem is that it feels like every map maker eventually puts you in a situation that is more or less impossible with the changes Brutal Doom makes. For Scythe, it's Anger (Map 23). For EPIC 2, it's Orion's Belt (Map 14) when it decides to lock you in a small arena with four cyberdemons and an arch-vile. Even if you do somehow survive the irregular 24-missile volleys (you won't), it rewards you with 20 homing-missile-machinegunning Revenants. Community Chest 2's Elixir (Map 5) can be an exercise in frustration, since it has hundreds of zombies. Regardless of how clever you are in disposing of the 40 and 50 man waves, their improved hitscan weapons will wither away more of your health than the map provides. So that's Scythe, NeoDoom, NewDoom, Hell Revealed, and Reloaded under my belt; I might give Threshold a try. (gently caress Revenants)

Combine those player models with the screens showing off what looks to be an underground refugee shelter, I'd say yeah, there's a definite "Terminator-future-war"-ish vibe being established, with a bunch of ragtag survivors going up against an overwhelming monster army.

The guy behind Brutal Doom continues to excite and utterly-freak-me-out with how much detail he puts into the death and gore mechanics of his mod, and now that he posted a recent video showing off his progress with new explosion-related deaths for zombiemen in v.16, I start to question whether I should keep cheering this guy on or try to find him psychiatric help. Then I remember that he's yet to implement fatalities for the Cyberdemon. Also are there any good, brutal doom-co-op-friendly doom 2 wads out there that feature heavily on loads of small enemies (zombiemen/imps/demons)? Prowling around the doomseeker servers for new and interesting material has left me with nothing but a bunch of really awful jump-pad maps, unfinished wads, and some kind of horrible Sonic the Hedgehog level pack.

I dig the prowess; the capacity for violence (by your voicework)! That said, I would love it if .16 came with voice options so everyone can pick and choose whether they want fewer taunts/Danny Glover mode/no voices at all. (edit: I am a stupid, stupid imp who can't read the youtube comments; there will be said options!) Still on the fence about the former human voices, though. They remind me a bit of the Z-sec from Doom 3, except without the creepy unintelligible monster-babble that I love.

The Pokemon Doom wad is certainly a surreal, confusing monster of a mod. But Brutal Pokemon Doom? The things I've seen... When you've experienced a poorly drawn-and-animated Totodile sprite suddenly incinerating your entire team, with you cowering inside the Pokemon hospital while their still-screaming bodies writhe in incandescent agony like living torches, and hear that abomination laugh in it's horrific, gravely, lifted-directly-from-the-cartoon-with-music-still-in-the-background voice, then maybe I can talk about the horrors I've witnessed. /edit: Also running through the insides of a cruise liner as a group, bursting into cabins to systematically gun down unaware pokemon still in their beds and having the dawning realization that you're literally turning into a no-hostages boat hijacker ChickenHeart fucked around with this message at 10:15 on Apr 18, 2012 |

After finally trudging through the last few levels of Brutal "Community Chest 2" with Irish and a few other goons, I can safely say "gently caress lost souls." dropping into a huge room with five pain elementals constantly spewing those flaming skulls to the point where you can't even shoot at them without hitting a lost soul instead and jesus they move so fast where did my health go oh god they're spawn camping me. Also, to whoever made those last few levels: I don't mind keyhunts. jumping puzzles? Sure. Switch puzzles and races? Why not! Crusher mazes? Okay with me! But all of the above, packed into a gigantic, sprawling map filled with well over 800 monsters? I've never wanted to punch a mapper so hard before that trainwreck of a level.

Looks like the non-test Brutal Doom .16 release is just around the corner. Have some footage of demons being lit on fire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQlL_7uEc6I&list=UU_NSOckDnuypJK_FpCO6ogA&index=1&feature=plcp In other news, I finally got around to downloading GZDoom for the sole purpose of trying out Reelism, and despite having issues with downloading old version of ZDoom, I do not regret it. Everything in it is loving amazing, from the enormous battle tanks, the ROTT-style flamethrower, to having the goddamn world's-most-boringest-ghost pop up and pump you full of plasma is freaking stupendous. Hell, even getting the "alien invasion" enemy wave and discovering that it's made up of re-purposed Duke Nukem Advance enemies put a smile on my face. And Kins, you have an excellent taste in SNES music. Though, I don't suppose you could do something to make the "Blue Magic" and melee weapon loadouts not suck so much rear end in the future? Those laser gun projectiles are so slow, they'd probably get outrun by fat-rear end mancubuses.

Turns out that trawling the gigantic list of skulltag servers for new wads to try out in Brutal Doom is a great way of traveling back in time, but with horrible user-made maps. Download a promising wad with a cool name like "BETWEEN DEMON CLAWS;" get treated to a yawning expanse of grey blocks chock full of Reverents, Chaingunners, and a handful of Spider Masterminds; have to noclip to the end because it requires six keys found in opposite corners of the map behind a wall of Cyberdemons and teleporter mazes; reach the Intermission screen and get treated to pixelated fanart of Cloud and Sephiroth from Final Fantasy. It was like discovering someone's godawful Geocites page, right down to the lovely MIDI-versions of Linkin Park songs.

Last time I checked, SgtMark was going to release .16 with a separate add-on that would restore the original Doom sounds/Danny Glover quote. On top of that, all of the voiceclips are through keybinds, completely at your discretion so you can have a silent Doomguy if you wanted or the psychopathic loudmouth Doom Comic guy. Also on the rocket launcher, are you referring to the Mancubus Cannon he's using in the beginning of that linked video, or the actual rocket launcher used at the end with the drum clip? 'Cause I think it's a neat touch-up of the original weapon; it shares the same basic shape and color scheme of Doom's launcher, but with some extra gubbins that give it a powerful, chunky appeal and a kickass reloading sound that I love.

Thompsons posted:Wait, there's a grenade launcher now? Where the hell is it? It appears as a random drop from dead Mancubuses in wads that don't normally spawn it, but the chance for it is really low. With a larger blast radius than the rocket launcher, it makes rooms full of low-health monsters very entertaining. So far I'm enjoying the new release, but I won't touch the new gib sprites no matter how high-resolution they turn out to be. So far I'm still a fan of the new doomguy and zombie sounds; they're more-or-less the same voices used by the old Doom 3 Alpha.

I just discovered that you can deliver a flying kick while in the air on Brutal Doom. Suddenly the old Downtown map became an ultraviolent Bruce Lee film as everything in sight was launched off of ledges and/or decapitated via constant kicking. I still love this loving game (and your voicework, Chinese Tony Danza; I hope you manage to work in some more lines/improve the wonkier ones in the future). Also has anyone else run into a weird issue with burning demons and monster infighting? Almost every time I kill a demon with the mancubus cannon while it's in a group it manages to run around and damage everything around it, pissing off other monsters and getting them to strike back. This is hilarious to watch and all, except that they'll continue to wail on the burning demon even after it collapses to the ground. Perhaps slow-roasted demon is irresistible to other monsters.

I've gone to a few panels over the years and they're always really eye opening and extremely interesting/informative. Quakecon is free. Yes all signs point to Doom 4 as the "old ip coming back" hinted on twitter, but drat would my inner-child explode with joy on hearing the announcement of a new Commander Keen (or ROTT as others have speculated; modern ragdoll physics coupled with the Excalibat? I'm throwing away my money already). And in other news, the next version of Brutal Doom will feature, amongst other things, the ability to kill enemies with falling damage and kicked gibs. If that last bit in the video is correct, you could potentially decapitate an enemy with the decapitated head of his friend.

Those images did not sell the game to me; generic blank faces, textures that looked like someone puked up a detail tool all over them, all over a drab grey castle environment? Then I watched the trailer, and as soon as that metal version of Fastway started up the hairs on the back of my neck all stood up and suddenly all the memories of drunken missiles, flying bird-flipping arms, and trashcan robots all began to flood back into memory. If they can do something about the "generic" appearance of the game between now and release, I think we got a serious competitor to Serious Sam 3 here. Also good to know that the Apogee revival didn't die with that Duke Nukem DS game. (please please please let this sell tons so we can get Alien Carnage remade as a sidescrolling action roguelike)

Things have been a little quiet from SgtMarkIV concerning Brutal Doom .17 lately, but he recently threw up this nice little image to show off one of many new animations to show up in the next version: And yes, that is a separate death animation for headshotting a zombieman with your fists, complete with missing jaw and flying teeth gibs. I love it.

And the BFG 10K is as ridiculous as it sounds, and kills everything (including you) in seconds as long as you have the ammo to spare.

Convex posted:Pain Elementals (gently caress those things) Pain Elementals become an enormous, floating "PUNCH ME FOR HEALTH" sign when you're a Beserker-packin' man-and-a-half.  The fact that their execution animation wouldn't be out of place on a heavy metal cover is also an incentive to shove your fists into their big, goofy faces.As for Archviles, you can easily best one you catch alone with the help of the Minigun's alt-fire. The sheer amount of rounds that thing spews means that you'll almost always interrupt any attack the Archvile tries to make, even with their teeny-tiny pain chance. Hell, if I were SgtMarkIV, I'd give them some kind of horribly-damaging melee attack (those claws do look pretty nasty) just to make those bastards more threatening. Revenants will always make me sweat, though. Picking up a key and immediately hearing a wall open up followed by a dozen "rocket-toting-skeleton-has-spotted-your-sorry-rear end" noises never fails to put a chill down my spine.

So yeah, in the new version of Brutal Doom your Beserker-punches are swung as fast as you can mash the fire key. Thanks to this the past few levels of Community Chest 3 have been converted into some kind of Fist of the North Star film, with skulls being caved in, torsos turned into clouds of goo, and so, so many zombiemen being kicked off of high platforms. I think SgtMarkIV is about two updates away from making Brutal Doom into a full-fledged beat-em-up, at this rate.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Yeah, and the measurement for the Hell Knight confused me too: "Tough as a dump truck and nearly as big..." made me think of something that was monstrous in size. Hell Knights weren't that big. I really enjoyed EPIC 2 up until around the time you finish off the spaceship maps; a few maps after that the author decides to replace all the neat map geometry and vague sense of narrative with "MORE MONSTERS MEANS MORE CHALLENGE." One of the last maps gets really awful, with a giant, sprawling cathedral that you have to navigate in order to find a number of switches that will unlock the exit; have fun backtracking through previously-cleared rooms, humping the walls in order to find one! By the time you get to the final map you have just lost all interest in the WAD and want to clear it for completionist's sake. Gotta give the author props for using a MIDI-fied version of Total Recall for one of the maps, though.

Speaking of the ROTT remake, another remixed track showed up on Soundcloud, a metal version of Smoke and Mirrors: https://soundcloud.com/rott-music Also holy crap the video of the new "smarter" Imps in Brutal Doom just cracks me up with all the hopping they do while trying to dodge rockets; I imagine some of the more heavily-populated custom maps will end up having entire mobs of them bunnyhopping in complete synch like some kind of demonic line dance.

As unlikely as it is I hope that Cacoward is actually some kind of physical trophy that you can display in your home, Kins. That way, when family and loved ones stop by you can proudly boast to them that you were recognized for making a mod for a decades-old violent video game out of blatantly-stolen resources from other games. Also the trophy would be completely two-dimensional and always be facing the viewer regardless of the angle they are viewing it at (also also when can we expect the next release, I need to throw a brick at Mecha-Hitler like you wouldn't imagine).

At every E3 that rolls around I hope against hope that Epic will suddenly announce a brand-spankin' new Unreal game that will harken back to the original tone and style of the first game; ie, being trapped on a bizarre alien planet filled with loads of hostile monsters and mysterious temples with no-one but your own isolation and the doomed logs of dead survivors to keep you company. Huge levels, exploration, and a hint of survival mechanics would make for an awesome single player experience.

Also the alien reel could really use a second enemy-types; as it is, getting them on open maps such as Abridged will often spell doom for your ability to see past a million flame sprites. Still having loads of fun with Reelism, though!
