That's from the current dev version of Violent Rumble with the Doomed Rumble modifier on - which now makes it behave like the Quake 2 BFG.

Regular plasma lightning isn't anything to scoff at though. Total direct impact damage is slightly more than a rocket, and the lightning can spread out pretty far without damage falloff.

Has anyone else really warmed up to Quake 1 as they gotten older? And by older I mean going from underageb& to 18 in my case. Like, Quake 1 feels a lot more artistically cohesive, a lot more well-designed, tight, expansive, and just overall wonderful compared to the Doom anthology. I legitimately want to play Quake through to the end. Doom? I just want to play E1M1, half of E1M2, get bored by E1M3 on a good day and then drop it for a week.

Like don't get me wrong, I loved Doom for a period of time. Hell, I wrote a fucking Doom launcher for Linux that runs exclusively in a terminal editor with <1000 lines of cooode, in fucking C. That's how much I loved Doom. But my love feels more in tune to Quake. Is this a phenomenon anyone else experienced?

I first played Quake as a 30-year old, but it took me a while to warm-up to it.
I like E1M1 pretty well now (I fucking hate the first room before you get outside), but I didn't fall in love with Quake until a few maps in. From that point on, the game could do (almost) no wrong. (I still hate the long platform ride in E3 and the deathpit traps in E4; I forget the specific map numbers.)

When my friend first showed it to me i was "eh why don't we play Duke instead", i mean the light effects looked nice but it didn't click. It was boring to me. Not colorful enough and still this quite abstract level design when Duke had things looking more like the real world and interactivity.
There was also no music on his PC and his room was lit like a photo studio, i didn't see much of it and my friend played with keyboard only so it didn't show its true potential.
I later bought it for N64 and i warmed up to it a bit but it was blurry and not ideal to control. I still liked it much more than the first time around especially after playing it in the dark with headphones. The atmosphere was nice but a bit different though.

Many years later i had an itch to scratch, fired up a source port and it just clicked.
It's a world to experience in the good conditions.
Artistically it's unique and the gameplay feels just right.
I agree that it artistically appeals to more mature audiences, there's a natural progression on that front from Wolf 3D to Doom and finally Quake. id always tried to do the most of the pixels they could display on a screen.

[Anonymous No.10206721]

>>10206547

I always liked Quake, but for a long time it was a distant second to Doom, because I never got into the user-made stuff. I really got into it when shit like Arcane Dimensions got my attention, and I realised it had a lot of unfulfilled potential that the vanilla levels only really scratch the surface of. Then I went on trying Quoth, Copper, etc, and I developed a great respect for it.

At its height, I think Quake has the potential to be a better game overall. I definitely agree it has the more consistent aesthetics and atmosphere. I think I still prefer Doom, when push comes to shove, if only because it has a higher ratio of quality content available- For every AD-tier mapset Quake has, there's half a dozen comparable megawads for Doom. But the best stuff for Quake really does shine as some of the shootan vidya of all time.

I was only a child in '96 so I didn't grow to appreciate shooters like Quake until I was a teenager. I would watch my older relatives play GoldenEye and I thought they looked neat, but my family was super anal about age ratings and wouldn't let me touch them.

Quite the reverse for me, I used to be a huge Quakefag since I was also underageb&, playan AD and deathmatching on netquake events and random Q3 servers. I don't know why, but I gravitated more towards Doom as the years passed. 6 years later, Quake has become that other Id game I used to play. Last time I touched it was to play DoTM, where I played a couple levels, decided "that's enough for today" and never started it up again. I didn't even bother with the Q2 remaster. I hear they wrote Shubby into Q2, I'm a little disappointed they didn't add my boy Nyarlathotep instead.

Quake was golden standard of multiplayer until Counter Strike era, not to mention it directly spawned it and most modern engines and fps. Quake 2 was more of modern FPS than Half Life, it had primitive levels and ai, cutscenes and constant radio chatter.

>>10206980

Half Life was the first true example of a modern, story based, "realistic" FPS. Half Life is directly responsible for the shift in direction the genre took, relying heavily on scripted events and linear progression rather than open-ended level design.

Quake 2 can be seen as a prototype to that, having a mission/objective structure and slightly more story than before, but its core mechanics are still what you could consider "arcade" FPS, where the rules are purely rooted in gameplay rather than realism.

[Anonymous No.10207045]

>>10207028
This is fundamentally incorrect, Half Life levels are designed the same way Duke Nukem 3d, Blood, Shadow Warrior were, where gameplay and looks go first iver realism. In Half Life you have to explore unknown levels by yourself and improvise. Quake 2 levels are go blow up that generator, cannon, storage, it has exact same mission objectives checkmarks as Call of Duty, Ramirez drop 20 and all of that.

[Anonymous No.10207065]

>>10207045

Not really dude. Have you actually played any of these games or are you just shitposting?

Half Life is entirely based around set pieces, which lead into further set pieces, with periods of exploration (that ultimately have a single linear path) to break up the pace.

Duke, Blood, etc etc all still have the classic approach to progression, where the player finds switches or key items etc under their own initiative, broken up into distinct levels.

Absolutely beyond retarded take. Games with high historical significance and influence get talked about by gaming websites and YouTubers and whatever all the time. Anyone ith an interest in games further than the annual Call of Duty, Madden or Sims release is likely to have checked them out at some point to see what the fuss is about.

It took a lot of fucking around but I did eventually find a pretty safe strategy for it, a lot of my issue with these dangerous final rooms is that they usually have some kind of progression you need to figure out on top of all the enemy spam.

Q2 and Unreal helped start the trend of those more "seamless" level transitions, connected areas, and levels. It was also interesting how Unreal introduced more interesting AI with both enemies like the skaarj and non hostiles like the nali. Half Life is good about having more believable NPC interactions, all by starting the game with a normal commute to work in the most believable setting in these fast arcadey shooters.

I was born in 1990. Do you think that means I am completely unaware of anything that happened before then?

Doom was released when I was 3 years old. Quake came out when I was 6. I was a literal child who had no idea what I was playing when they were new. And yet they are, today, among my favourite games. Going further, most of my favourite music was released 20-30 years before I was born. Most of my favourite movies were released before I was born.

I fail to see why you think zoomers are suddenly going to be totally unaware of the past. Most of them are retards, but so was most of my generation, and so was most of my parent's generation. Most people from YOUR generation have no clue what Quake is. You do not have a valid point.

The Ultra-Violence meme only really applies to the original Doom/Doom 2 IWADs honestly Anon, they're considerably less difficult than Plutonia and most fan-made stuff.

For everything beyond those, there's no shame playing on HMP or even HNTR for an average player. Most PWADs are balanced around a much higher baseline difficulty.

That's honestly not that much for what it is. There's probably a bit of code stuff there which isn't known, but I suspect that rather little differs from the Linux based source we got way back in 1997.
I figure there's probably no developmental assets in there as it's for a port, but hell, you never know.

I suppose it would have sound code which we don't have, but that part wasn't just missing from the Linux code because Doom's original sound code was licensed from Jason Blochowiak and they didn't own it, it was also kind of shitty and janky and would break every time they updated Doom, making updates take longer. Random sound pitches were original intended behavior, but it just fucking broke once and Carmack didn't want to bother fixing it ever since. Don't know if an adaption of that code would be on that disk, but who knows.

Would be cooler if someone managed to discover the lost Strife dev stuff.

Life's End - excellent campaign despite age. Good and creative use of enemies, makes houndeyes work as they were intented in large packs, fun puzzles. Levels are short, detailed, and not confusing, good sense of humour that fits original. I especially liked Xen base. Must play if you like Half Life.

Azure Sheep - long campaign that equals official addon. The balance is very tight and keeps you on edge, it gives you HEV armor in midlate game. Mandatory NPC follower might be frustrating but its not as bad as Daikatana, though you might have to save often as scripts could be broken. Levels tend to be quite huge, and perhaps frustratingly so. Very impressive mod overall, considering it was made in 2001. Would not recommend as much as latter campaign.

If you're fresh, give Doom and Doom 2 a run on UV sometime, it's a step up from HMP, but it really doesn't go all that hard for the most part, and you'd really want that stepping stone for Plutonia, which was designed to be tough for someone who had already mastered the original games on UV and wanted something mightier.
To paint a picture, Plutonia on UV was designed to start out at a level of difficulty equivalent to Doom 2's endgame on UV for its first levels, then escalating upwards from there as it goes, getting tougher and tougher. Plutonia on HMP doesn't tone things down too much overall, it mainly reigns in the nasty traps and ambushes so they aren't as mean and unforgiving, but otherwise much of the gameplay is very similar to how it is on UV.

It's very tightly designed, and you should come back to it later, but you're doing the right thing backing off for now given your gap in experience.
Don't be scared to adjust difficulty for different level sets, I'd call myself moderately seasoned, and while I've run into .wads which weren't nearly as hard as they claimed they were, and I bumped it up, I've played some which I found were way too much for me on UV, and dropping them down to HMP were absolutely goldilocks for me.

I've instead grown quite a bit of ire for DOOM and Quake. Both of them start to fall apart in cohesion and tight level design hard around Episode 3, with Quake especially feeling incredibly half-baked, but Quake is the one I return to because it's more mechanically fun and DOOM 1's roster feels incomplete without 2's additions (although I'd complain about how Quake doesn't mesh in the techbase enemies with the rest).

I'd say it's partially exacerbated by hindsight, since community developers have had a chance to learn what works and what doesn't, but that doesn't change the fact that they still had the flaws there to learn from.

I just finished Doom II in ultra violence, thanks to the anons that made me finish it. I'd probably dropped it if it weren't for you.
The only 2 maps by Sandy Petersen from the last third of the game that I didn't dislike were Nirvana and The spirit world. Icon of sin was a mess, that hitbox is so fucking small. Fucking Barrels o' fun man.
Where to now if I continue with classic Doom? In order of release after Doom 2 theres Episode 4 for Doom 1 (but I already finished that before Doom 2), the Master levels, Final Doom (Evilution + Plutonia) and then Doom 64. What can I expect from each of them? Would I miss nice maps if I skip straight to 64? What about No rest for the living from 2010 (a Doom 2 wad) and Sigil for Doom 1? What do you recommend?

[Anonymous No.10210498]

>>10210474
I would recommend trying episode 4 real quick even if it may be rough after playing with Doom 2's new enemies. I would certainly play all of Final Doom, especially for Plutonia. Sigil and No Rest for the Living are really good. I could never get far in the master levels.
Doom 64 will feel weird with the limitations it had to deal with, or can feel fun if you're able to appreciate what they pulled off.

hitstun isn't like an id game where a shotgunner can blast you in the middle of being chaingunned, cultists stop attacking for a full second when they're hit once by a stray shotgun pellet or tommy gun spam
unlike 99% of videogames the crouch button actually does something, it basically gives you partial invisibility so stay crouched when you don't need to be moving
of course you don't have a hitscan weapon in the first level so look for the doctor's bag and accept you're going to lose a lot of hp and spend it. Secrets are also very important in Blood so find them so you're always making "progress"

It's less his hitbox, and more getting the shot off at the right height so that they can slip into his gray matter. Anyway, yeah, not the tightest boss fight design ever, but it's something, and you're at least looking at a new monster, a massive as fuck demon fucker, and he looks cool, so there's at least that.

For what's next, try out Doom 64. Gameplay is still basically Doom, but it has all new levels, graphics, music, and sounds, with a more advanced map format, as well as a few other new things. Made by some guys at Midway back in the day, initially it was gonna be just a port like Playstation Doom, and the regrettable Saturn Doom, but they felt they wanted to do something different, and asking iD, they got the go-ahead.
Has a distinct style of its own, and the devs really made the most they possibly could out of their limited cartridge space and the N64's memory constraints.

You can play it on PC or modern consoles with the new official port (which has some bonus levels I thought were good), as well as just good old Doom 64EX.

I did. But it's the same since the desktop compositor was off anyways. I'm checking both Doom II on Chocolate Doom at the same time and Doom 64 (the Steam release that runs the KEX engine) and I can tell they changed the player movement in 64. It takes longer to change direction when strafing left to right and viceversa. I feel like inertia changed slightly. Thanks for the tip however. I'll try 64 and maybe I'll just stick to the Master Levels for Doom II if it doesn't suit me right now.

I have no idea why those pics get so much darker than what's both viewed ingame and even after I convert those stupid PCX files into another format - this has been a problem with most of my screencaps ever since I started doing this - as it's something that not even upping the ingame brightness levels can help with, it's almost as if what you see on the screen is lit differently than what the game renders for itself or something in OGL rendering mode.

Off the top of my head, it happens a few times in some of its other ilk. A fair deal of levels in TimeSplitters 2 go for significantly longer on Normal/Hard than on Easy and not just because of additional objectives. Isn't Thief also somewhat like this too?

I liked Quake back in the day (played the full version in mid-00s) decently, but thought (like many seem to) that the weapons are underpowered compared to Doom and that it just lacks that same charm for a lack of better description. Nowadays though, I understand that the weapons feeling less powerful is due to the lack of feedback compared to the really really satisfying doom death sprites for monsters.

I gave the remaster a whirl and playing it with rules of not saving mid-level (unless the level is balls hard) on Hard felt really really satisfying and I gained a new appreciation of it, especially Scourge of Armagon which combined the scifi tech aspects with fleshy horror but retained core Quake gameplay. Except that one bit with the rock tumbler, that was bad.

>Quake 1 feels more artistically cohesive
Not invalidating how you felt about it personally but after reading Masters of Doom this is funny because Quake 1 development was really directionless due to internal issues at Id and they had to haphazardly scrap the melee combat system and just went "fuck it, let's put guns and rocket launchers in it" to get something released.

But yeah, right now I'm at "Quake is great and I wish I learned to appreciate it sooner but Doom is still my special game" .

>What can I expect from each of them?
For Plutonia :
Really well crafted nasty maps that are compact, but utilize the Doom 2 enemy roster to it's full potential. Combat encounters are usually not that large, but they use nasty traps and clever combinations of enemies to full effect. I would personally recommend challenging yourself to only saving at the start of each level (playing continuous still, pistol starting in hell) even if you have to put the difficulty down to HMP.

The levels are really well crafted challenges, I like to use the term "combat puzzle" when describing Doom combat but Plutonia really embodies that design. It's rough, but it is also very satisfying when you learn the tricks to each level.

>Doom 64
Very atmospheric classic Doom experience. Play in the dark with headphones on, maybe even a controller for authenticity. I would also recommend only saving between levels. The levels are fairly compact, probably due to the N64 hardware limits but unlike Plutonia, Doom 64 sometimes just spams enemies. It's gameplay wise somewhere between Doom 1 and 2, both in terms of gameplay design and also including some choice maps from both but most of it's maps are unique to D64. Most of the monster menagerie is present except for some D2 monsters. I'll let you find out which ones.

[Anonymous No.10213656]

On topic of Quake, how are people enjoying the Q2 Remaster?

I was surprised that my steam copy of old Quake 2 was updated to the Remaster, gave it a whirl and so far.... So far (played up to the Mines) it's solid except for a few things :

The menus look like... Quake 4? This is kind of a minor complaint since the menus are relatively small part of the game but it's kind of stylistically speaking annoying because it doesn't have the same sovl.

The hit direction indicators from enemy fire are annoying and I don't seem to find a setting to turn those off (there seems to be an option to put hit markers on enemies *vom in mouth* though)

However, I AM liking the new enemy behavior, the berserkers are actually threatening instead of a joke that is only dangerous to enemies because of their infighting potential. I am also noticing the light guards dropping to prone position and duck-shooting which I do not remember them doing when I played through the base game in June-ish ? Overall, the combat feels more involved and can't forget the muzzle flashes finally being in the game which is nice!

What are the rest of you thinking about it and can you still use sourceports with the original game files?

I liked it and the new AI is indeed a big improvement over basegame. Then again so were the expansions and mods took things further so I'm not blown away here. I also have to remind myself who this port is mostly geared towards and how those players won't have similar options, let alone any other way to play Quake 2.
Some of the weird choices include the new berserker slam: It rarely hurt me and rarely put me into a weird position besides those cramped 64 levels. I can at least see it being annoying I found it funny and I've heard it's getting changed. What I love most about the berserker now is the 25Unit-like ability of punishing dance offers with that running hit.
I love medic commander gangbangs so I enjoyed the new levels on hard+ by a shitload. There was good variety to them all around.
I'm also likely the minority here in missing the original weapon trajectories. It's been one of the reasons I'm back to trying out old Q2 stuff and not playing old stuff through the new port.

I mean at least in PD you actually choose the difficulty at the start of the level and can't choose the next higher difficulty before you haven't beaten the level at the lower one, but I know what you mean. I find it a pretty cool concept though.
I haven't yet done anything like that for Doom (like putting a voodoo doll only in a certain skill level to open parts of the level that wouldn't be accessible in lower skill levels), but what I usually do is changing up monster and item makeup, like putting a knight instead of a baron somewhere (instead of just putting more/less of everything), generally less health on higher difficulties and such.

Doom 2016’s SSG came directly from it, and so did Eternal’s fleshy eyeball city aesthetic. Some of the enemies like the prowler, harvester and summoner were made during that era, with different looks. There were a few character designs and portraits made too.
If you mean actual gameplay, I can’t remember but I don’t think there was much, most of the in-game footage I remember seeing were just the proto-glory kills against zombie civilians, and some mock-ups of what some demons would do.

>I mean at least in PD you actually choose the difficulty at the start of the level and can't choose the next higher difficulty before you haven't beaten the level at the lower one, but I know what you mean

I'm pretty sure that in Goldeneye and its successors, you can start the first mission at any difficulty, but go lower than the 'Hard' equivalent and the next mission is unlocked only up to the highest difficulty the last was beat on. So somebody beating the first level on 'Normal' can play the next on that and so on if they don't lower to 'Easy'.

>>10215536
DNF takes after too many games of its time to be a mostly unoriginal and boring game complete with multiple driving, turret, and not-Valve puzzle sections complete with a weapon limit and regenerating health while there's hardly any original quirks to the gameplay beyond 'ego' health increases, its only relatively unique moments are those where you just fuck around with stuff that plays off Duke's celebrity status and other odd silliness like shrinking sections. Plus it also makes his personality more mean-spirited out of nowhere at times. So you just get a game that's not really appealing to either Douk fans or regular people. Spending over a decade in development just to produce an unremarkable game is only the icing on top.

I take that spoiler back, even with the self-harm danger in mind, the LMCTF PlasmaRifle is a ton of fun to play with, as the pass-thru feature of the "bounce-mode" can sometimes let you kill stuff in just a single lucky shot for the low cost of only 2 cells, and it's wonderful at clearing suspicious corners (as long as there's something actually lurking in there, so that the strayed plasma orb won't rebound back into your face if there's nothing to kill)

We can, but there's not much left to say. General consensus is it's a great game but it pushed the genre in arguably a bad direction by accident. It's a shame it doesn't have more good mod content that stays true to the original, it has some of the most legendary mods of all time but they are all conversions, so the original title doesn't have as much replayability.

The “general consensus” varies from here wildly and is a more arguable point than HL’s impact.
Early to mid 2000s is where the trends really started to “stick” for shooters as they blew up on consoles. The trend from HL that stuck around, and something that was more popular in HL2, were the “stand and listen to npc” moments.
