/vr/ - Retro Games

Among the new stuff Rides Again brings on the table, it has True Room Over Room.

Funny how it has it, but it's barely used and not advertised on, even though this is the thing that was all over advertising for games like Shadow Warrior and Blood (on the back of the box etc).
It was probably added late in development.

You need to calm yourself here. I don't know what you're trying to prove but throwing insults only make you look more stupid.

Rides Again is the very definition of a sequel.
It's standalone and it takes place RIGHT after the first game.
If it's an "expansion pack" than so are Doom II and Megaman 3 to 6.

As for NAM and WWII GI, they are standalone commercial games, which is like the definition of... well, a game. That's like saying Heretic or Strife are "just shitty Doom mods".

Rides Again is very underrated. I'll give you that, most people think it's an add-on, which shows how underrated the game is. Most played stopped at the first Redneck Rampage, but Rides Again fixes most flaws of the original, while expanding on it and have some insane level design.

The game starts slow and there is still a little key and switch hunting, though nothing near as bad as in the original, but later on it has some of the most technically advanced level design I've seen in any commercial Build game.

For instance, everyone talks about Shadow Warrior's or Blood's "room over room", but Rides Again has it too (another proof that it's not just "an expansion pack" as improvements on the engine side were made) and noone ever talked about it.

Route 66 is an add-on. It requires the original game to run and doesn't do changes to the game code that could be considered "engine changes".

Rides Again in a sequel. It's standalone, the story picks off right where the original game left off, and it does "engine" changes like Room Over Room (like Shadow Warrior or Blood have, but which the original RR didn't) improved AI, driveable vehicules, etc

Rides Again is the very diffinition of a sequel and it adds more to RR than what Doom II added on top of Doom, so I really don't know why everyone is having a hard time with this game.

I'm telling yo it really is underrated.
