Soldier Of Fortune had truly excellent art design. Every area felt unique and expressive with color and shadows. And if you disable the filtering and detail textures you can see its pretty much pixel art.

I kind of liked that era. You could have high res photorealistic textures, but it was before the race for the best physics, fixation on photorealistic lighting etc. Could have interesting worlds and models that had some art direction to them.

Before there was brown and bloom there was...
Brown and blue

>>8823972
What's this?

>>8824067
Kiss: Psycho Circus - The Nightmare Child

>>8823979
Is this delta force?

>>8824117
Project I.G.I.

Anyone have some good killing floor mod screenshots?
I think about this video a lot when it comes to mid 00 fps games.

>>8823995
more like blue and grey
which is far better if you ask me

>>8824272
It really does look like quake 3 with ww2 textures.

>>8823930
No Quack III ?

testing

Balkan and Russian kids will remember

>>8823956
>Predator
If you were German you would inevitably pronounce it "PREE-Data". This wasn't optional. Everybody did it. Good times indeed

Fwends fwends, hawk, I praced a pictuaw ofuh Caw o Doowti. Fwends we aw Wepweesentiwd nowah!

>>8824309
Well it is idTech3

>>8824378
CoD used to be a good PC title with big modding/mapping scenes, underageb&.

>>8823930
I just cant believe it got 2000 fps

>>8824319
Q3 came out in 1999

>>8824163
what the fuck, is this an early stalker build?

>>8824391
I know I was just stating how distinct idtech looks. Quake 2 games like kingpin and sin are the same thing but Quake 2.

>>8824407
No it's Firestalker, weird FPS with RPG elements

>>8823942
I can see why many like this game.

>>8824005
people talk shit on Lithtech but this game nearly looks like 90s prerendered CGI if you play it at a high resolution

>>8824450
ehhh i'm not so sure on that

>>8824373
it's incredible how well this game holds up graphically compared to its contemporaries

>>8824475
Sure the models look a bit fucked up but for whatever reason that makes it even more reminiscent of weird 90s CGI.
The lighting and texture work holds up amazingly though, I finally finished the game in the last month and I think it looks fantastic even in that screenshot you posted.

>>8824418
shit, meant Firestarter lmao

>>8824505
NOLF 2 comes to mind

>>8824518
No it doesn't 90's CGi looks far more plastic

>>8824709
>>8824418
lol I thought you were messing with me by saying "it's totally not STALKER"
I'll check it out

>>8824815
This Painkiller?

>>8824824
This Condemned?

I really love Kingpin's look. Got multiple folders full of screenshots.

>>8824709
>No it doesn't 90's CGi looks far more plastic
lol

>>8824859
yes to both

>>8824505
There were some pictures of someone running it at 4k + DLAA and it looked stunning, washout any mods

>>8824829
>Soft stencil shadows
>Pseudo-HDR
>Global self-shadowing
>Ported from the original Xbox
>Doesn't run like shit

Magic game.

>>8824880
Found it, but only JPGs with some artifacting

>Magic game.

I remember watching a friend play this game on his Pentium 4 with a Radeon X1600 AGP card and 2GB RAM in the system. It looked really impressive, even on those specs, and I was impressed with the character full body awareness.

>>8823930
Oh, it's nutshot everyone, the game.

RF2 is undeniably a mixed bag...but i love for what it is. and I am usually very unforgiving of the piss poor character animation that is rife in this game.

>>8824941

>>8824951
The game is Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

>>8824362
more like
>Prä-dett-tar

t. Kraut

Thief deadly shadows looks good. Iirc it was unreal engine, but it had nice shadows and bump mapping.

>>8825039
Interessant, diese Variante ist mir noch nie begegnet. Bin aber keine von diesen Tunten die automatisch alles anzweifeln müssen um sich selbst irgendwas zu beweisen. Dann gibt's also mindestens zwei falsche Arten; Um so besser

>>8824829
Riddick is still awesome. Played it on Xbox, then PC director’s cut, and have it again on PC with Dark Athena.
>omg I’m old now!

>>8824874
which game?

>>8824450
Lithtech was an abomination in the beginning, but they eventually made some cool stuff with it.

Max Payne is the GOAT lightmaps-n-textures game
>in b4 not FPS

>>8825840
QRD on how to run Max Payne on modern systems? Would love to know this before the shit remaster comes out.

>>8825867
It's easy enough, there's an all-in-one fix download in the Steam guides. Or this >>8802596

>>8825547
Is the remake of Butcher Bay that comes with Dark Athena better or should I track down the original

>not medal of honor btw

>>8825951
bumpo

poke646 is a masterpiece and it was just a school project.

>>8824881
fear is so ugly compared to riddick. doom 3 is a middle ground but riddick artistically and its use of technology is far more sophisticated than both of those games.

>>8825552
You are empty

>hey what if we get that guy from the X-Files to voice our game about aliens n' shit

>>8824869
Why don't you give me a pic of 90's CGI (and I obviously dont mean a game)

>>8824736
hahah yeah i thought he was messing with you

I like the less known FPS from then
Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter
Darkwatch
Cold Winter

>>8824505
nigga u wo

aint me AINT ME

>>8823956
>zoomers will never ever know the sheer unadulterated joy of AvP multiplayer

>smart gunning the shit out of a xeno as a marine
>going invisible as the Predator, switching to infrared and spearing a marine's rainbow-glowing head right off his rainbow-glowing body and into the wall

Even single player as the Marine was a kino experience, with literally everything being able to one-shot you, having to use flares and the motion sensor just to find your way around and hoping you can see the enemy fast enough to shoot the fuck out of it before it tears you in half.

thank you for reminding me anon

>>8826373
Used to play on GameSpy arcade all the time. People still play the steam/gog version occasionally

>>8826373
>>8826506
God yes, I was a little shitter so it scared me and older brother was much better in multiplayer, but still some good memories, I liked predator's vision and how you could walk on walls as alien

>>8823930
Anyone else having issues running SoF lately?

>>8826773
Rename the executable ("sof.exe") to "mohaa.exe"
Not joking.
There are hard-coded rules in Windows to run specific older software, there seems to be none for Soldier of Fortune, but there are some for Medal Of Honor Allied Assault that seem to fix issues.

>>8826834
Yeah, this usually works with games that use the same engine.

>>8826278
pedant

>>8826834
>There are hard-coded rules in Windows
No, that's the work of the drivers.

The Quake 2 engine has specifically caused issues on Intel after some driver update added too many extensions.

WHAAAAT GAAAAAMMEEE??????

>>8824319
Two frags left!

>>8827048
Wait maybe that was Tribes idk

>>8827050
That would be the Q3 campaign, you're correct.

>>8827142
I just wanna play the leak so bad

>>8827330
I dont think there was ever a playable build of duke 2001

>>8826773
Have you tried SoFplus ?

>>8826373
AvP had really fun multiplayer. I give the edge to AvP2 only because the single-player experience is well-made, and the story is hyperkino.

Which had the best weapons?

>>8824319

>>8823930
It peaked at 2003-2004

After that it was all polishing I think

Until ray tracing and when far car made taller maps? Not sure what else is new since I play less often

>>8824373
Is this Tom Clancy?

>>8824820
These look great what are they

>>8827551
It's from Kingpin.

>>8827551
surely you could deduce from the other anon's posts?

>>8827470
I always wanted a singleplayer game with those kind of graphics

>>8827470
I always wanted a singleplayer game with the q3 engine and this kind of artstyle

What about Dark Salvation?
It sucks

Did any of you chaps play on Mpalyer? I was a regular and played in a lot of Mplayer King of the Hill tournaments. Alien vs Predator (and Gold) was my life for a solid few years. I was a big loser

>>8829752
>Mplayer
Now there's a name I haven't heard for a while. That was probably my first proper online experience before GameSpy and ASE came along later. Crazy times. I still remember the "Hello!" when you got a pm, and the "Fight Rooms" where people would just cuss each other out for fun. Great great times. They tried to reboot it a while back but it looks dead to me :(

Sorely missed. But it was a different time back then completely. It wouldn't be the same if they brought it back. Culture is too different

>>8823930
>>8823960
Best SOF was SOF2 - I loved the Multiplayer, and the Random Map/Mission Generator was pretty dope too. Loved LAN gaming that with my brothers - still has a little active community.

>>8825840
>Max Payne is the GOAT lightmaps-n-textures game

What is Half-Life 2?

>>8826338
That's some tight asserino anon

>>8827550
game?

>>8823930

>>8830682
I thought it was Vietcong PC - but I am thrown off by the bottom left corner now. Either way, VietCong was a good PC game

This time was the sweet spot of looking good enough but not looking too real that your imagination went to sleep

>MISTER CROW

>>8830665
overrated to hell and back

Here is your The Medium, bro.

>>8824884
This game always looked depressive.

>>8830693
I thought that as well
>>8830729
Thanks

>>8829752
Never used Mplayer but I did play a lot of AvP Gold mp on gameranger with my brother back in the day before it became garbage spyware. Good times.

>>8829887
Yeah, trash talking used to be part of the online lobby experience, it was great, just people letting loose. Now that kind of talk gets you banned onto an fbi watchlist bc some underage kid inevitably cries at something in the chat. Even back as far as 2007, normies started getting really paranoid about their “online reputations.”
