Saturn Powerslave is best Powerslave.

>>5878184
I wish that clown Kaiser would do further work on the PowerSlave EX port.

why the fuck no one has made a powerslave wad yet?

>>5878281
Make one yourself

Looks so much like Serious Sam but in 2D

>>5878194
Ninja that be all chinese
Also that seems pretty horizontal from all the footage I'm seeing. But looks kind fun though, just doesn't seem to fit the Powerslave bill

>>5878310
It's more like metroid prime

>>5878184
Huh, the saturn version has colored lighting? Dont remember that from the PS1 version.
Not retro, but the Metroid Prime series.

The PS1 version might have it, but it looks a whole lot duller. The Saturn's visuals are intense and Lobotomy did a good job of wrangling all they could out of that system.

>>5879019

Even the EX version doesn't have it, its rather bland and I keep hoping it will get a graphical update.

>>5878184
metroid prime

>>5878184
I really enjoy low resolution fps where everything looks dirty because the textures do not really have the resolution for this amount of detail

>>5879019
PS1 version also doesn't have nade jumping.

>>5878184
Does this emulate well or am I better off playing PowerSlave EX

>>5879636
Hold up thats a saturn game?
Holllld the fuck up

>>5879975
It does in mednafen, yes. Probably in other Saturn emus too but I haven't tried.

>>5878258
Enjoy your shitty framerate, pixellation and useless flamethrower.

> Powerslave EX
Playing this game with Keyboard + Mouse is the equivalent of playing lightgun games 2 inches from the screen. If you do play EX don't use a mouse, trust me on this, or you're gonna have a pretty boring experience. I would never recommend playing an FPS with a controller except this one, but it's properly balanced for it. Plus EX is based on the PS1 version so the textures and lighting looks really bland and the levels are fucked compared to the Saturn version.

I can't vouch for this game's emulation in particular but SSF or Mednafen both run most Saturn games pretty well.

>>5878281

Search for Re-Exhumed for GZdoom, guy stopped working on it though

>>5879975
It runs, but the controls are pre dual analog FPS, and while you can remap them with the emulator, the swimming controls only make sense with the default mappings. Might be best just to wait for Nightdive's version.

It just dawned on me that in the good ending we literally become a KANG

>>5880875
KANG of the planet to be precise

>>5880881

>>5880875
that bad ending though

>>5878184
The Iron Maiden pinball machine features the song powerslave, and the album art.

>>5880894
In bad ending we snuggle with ramses for eternity in his sarcophagus, which isn't really a bad ending

>>5878184
Hexen II Portal of Praevus.

Skip the cryptic main campaign and just play this.

Linear dark fantasy FPS and its quite good.

Use this sourceport to play on modern machines.

I think developers of the game were inspired by IM's album.

>>5881079
Oh you don't think. What a big brain you have.

>>5881147
not big, clever brain must be smaller so there's less distance between cells and thinking process is faster than in bigger brains

>>5881079
I thought everyone knew that. Shame the reference forced them to change the name in europe though.

>The Iron Maiden pinball machine features the song powerslave, and the album art.

And Carmageddon 2 features a man on the edge. Several ones actually.

>>5881187
What's with Iron Maiden and video games, anyway?

>>5881392
They like videogames. They even had own videogame Ed Hunter (long before mobile Legacy of the Beast) and some videoclips had videogame feeling. Song "Futureal" is basically about video games addiction and clip to "Speed of Light" is a homage to arcade video games.

I know, they also have a pinball machine or two. Which is why I wonder what their problem is with other people vaguely referencing their work and getting all lawyery about it.

Probably the lawyers being uppity about it rather than the actual band.

>>5878267
He can't because Nightdive bought his ass out and can no longer work on EX ports that aren't under their dime. It's also why he took down most of them like powerslave.

>>5881461
I mean, Bruce Dickinson is also their manager and producer, so it's anyone's guess.

>>5881079
Actually if I recall correctly it was the publisher that named the game. It was just called Ruins by the devs or something like that, can't recall specifically. The publisher changed the name for all 3 regions.

>>5879636

Outstanding.

>>5881464
So the PC port is dead for good then? No one has forked it?

>>5882023
Nightdive also got the rights to this game, so no, it's just going legit.
It was an inaccurate approximation of a game though.

>>5882023
>So the PC port is dead for good then?
Nope. Just in the backburner. I think I recall him saying he was going to work on Powerslave after he was done with the Blood port, but don't think it was a definitive statement.

>>5878194
I prefer Crack Crimers

>>5881715
Ruins: Return to the Gods
Back then the rights were still in the hands of publisher 3DRealms, but they passed it on to Playmates Interactive.
They (Lobotomy) paused development on the DOS version while working on the console ports of Powerslave, and finished the DOS version last. That's why it looked pretty outdated when it hit the shelves in late 1996 (US) and 1997 (EU).
In that time many games were already shipped with 3Dfx/Glide etc and since the DOS gameplay was simply a doom type shooter unlike the console versions, it quickly faded away.

>>5880274
Is it just a weapons mod or did he try to do some maps as well?
