I can't imagine the remasters got a bunch of people to run out and buy Doom/Quake if they didn't already own them, and if they did the remaster is free.

:wrong: all my console friends bought it

that's normal. everything but the first minute or so of the main menu music is just clanks and low hums

i must be getting it confused with Quake 2 in my mind then!

No, it isn't that. The music is genuinely quieter than it should be.

screenshots from UT3 were the very last time i couldn't believe how good a game looked, i remember PCZone had a few renders of the weapons and characters on their cover.

So in Doom 64 how do I turn off the CRT filter if such an effect exists because sweet god my eyes

is it easy enough to set up GZDoom with a controller? Basically I want to stick an old laptop behind my tv and use it to play old shooters to tide me over until the steam decks come out.

I think I’ll have to go wired, there’s bizarre input lag using an Xbox controller over Bluetooth on my older MacBookPro running Windows. It’s fine for a few seconds and then it just stops working.

Have you updated the firmware on the controller? You need the Xbox Accessories app from the MS store

BT is iffy on the Xbox pads in my experience (the official dongle is much better) but FW updates can help

Yeah no luck unfortunately! I think I have a long microUSB wire around somewhere though!

x-postin from the WAD thread,

Does anyone happen to have a pre-built version of ZDL for Mac? There's no DMG on any of the repos I could find, only source code.

anyone still having issues with the DOOM 1/2 ports on switch where they just freeze after coming out of sleep mode? I thought that was patched out :(

also, regardless of what else you think about them, the cod games are technically excellent. nearly always aiming for 60fps on ps360 gen hardware was commendable

finished the first 2 episodes of DOOM on switch last night, drat it's still good, i never played it through like this before. what a great game :)

drat, i loved EF2 back in the day. I didn't even like star trek but i remember playing it at a friend's house and thinking all the interactivity was really cool

COD1 was a refinement of MOHAA, it was great

i used to read the pc mags back in the day and i don't remember anyone mentioning RTCW when talking about COD, just MOHAA and the fact that a lot of the original MOHAA devs were now with IW

Was elite force 2 any good? I only ever played the first one

i LOVED it back in the day, i'd say it's worth 10 to check it out. it has cool bits between missions where you can wander around and mess with stuff

for single player you should definitely play titanfall2, for mp the servers are currently hosed got both of them so I’d avoid

Also since we’re in the retro FPS thread, it’s amazing what respawn did with the source engine for Titanfall 2, it ran amazingly well and it’s a shame not many devs ever used it. I think it’s the only game on PS4 that used source?
Maybe apex does, not sure

Apex runs on the same Source fork as Titanfall

It's modified beyond recognition though, OG Source would catch fire if you tried to run Apex sized maps

I always find it weird going back to source games and the way they handle loading. Like especially hl2 where it’s designed to be a seamless experience but there’s still random load areas in hallways.
