Saturn Quake

[Anonymous No.4660491]

Just bought a copy of this. What am I in for? I've played and enjoying the PC and N64 versions, but I've heard that this one is pretty cool too. I know it won't be as smooth as the other two but it looks super atmospheric and color and I like all of the nifty cheats and easter eggs I've seen.

If you're not going to play on the original hardware it was intended for, don't bother posting here. We don't take kindly to posers. The pc offers higher framerate, resolution, and other technical specifications. Your version is inferior in every aspect.

Not when people come in here like they're going to have a jolly good time talking about some stupid bullshit that's not real gaming. Either dedicate some time to finding out how to have the ultimate experience or lurk moar, but don't bother posting about a fucking stupid way to play a game.

Playing a different version of the game on a console isn't "real game"? Jesus man, calm down. I've played the PC version to death and like the series enough to enjoy all the different versions. Why does that upset you so much?

Imagine being much of a petulant faggot. First off, there's no "we" here, you are not the arbiter of autistic contrarians. Secondly, the PC and Saturn versions are very different and both worth playing. No idea what your problem is, but just because uncle Larry touched your pee pee as a child doesn't mean you need to act like a douche.

Anyway, don't worry about this retard OP. The game is great. A little clunky here and there given the limitations of the Saturn, but it's my favorite shooter on the console. Don't expect any online multiplayer or anything like the PC version has but it's a very enjoyable experience once you get used to the controls. I won't spoil anything but one of the exclusive secret levels is very unique and interesting.

[Anonymous No.4660536]

Yeah, I know the controls are a little wonky but I'm looking forward to it. I didn't realize there were exclusive levels -- are the original secret levels included as well?

I sincerely believe you could, you obviously care way too much about this game. I can imagine the meat of your neck rippling as you feverishly pound my anus with every keystroke.

Yeah, from what I've seen it's pretty amazing what they managed to pull off. I know it doesn't run on the actual Quake engine but it's a pretty good facsimile all things considered.

I feel you dude. We've gotten a lot of refugees as of late. I've noticed a particular large surge of 19-somethings showing up after gorging themselves on Metal Jesus videos and the like. I feel like a lot of people here just hate games and have to waive some kind of autistic flag. Can't you enjoy everything in different ways?

I fucking love pc, so of course it's my preferred platform, but I absolutely hate it when faggots like Anon push their opinion around!

In my opinion, PC is superior, so why would I need to force the obvious down anyone's throat? That just makes me come off as petty and insecure, freaking out at people over which way you play fucking vidya. That's retarded.

I would like to try out the Saturn, as well as the dreamcast (consoles I have never played)

Lastly, semi unrelated, but I absolutely love the SNES version of doom music.
That doesn't take away the the PC experience.

Enjoy your vidya, Anon.

Good to see some common sense around here. Personally, I've never understood why you can't just have your cake and eat it too. I love being able to play a game like Quake on PC with the best graphics and framerate and get the ultimate experience, but I also enjoy getting to experience a different version of the game with its own quirks, atmosphere, secrets and appeal. For example, I won't tell you that PSX Quake 2 is necessarily better than the PC version, but it has its own charms and plays differently enough from the PC original to make it worth experiencing.

For me, I don't expect Saturn Quake to be a better experience. I know it's going to have a shittier framerate, shittier graphics and shittier controls. But maybe it has a better atmosphere? Maybe it has more visually appealing colors? Maybe there are some cool secret levels or easter eggs to find? For me, that's the appeal.

Slavedriver engine trio. Fucking amazing.

It is worth noting that Powerslave was only released a few months after Quake, which means the slavedriver engine was mostly created at the same time as Quake.
Sure Powerslave didn't have 3D models, and sure it was actually less impressive to have a Quake like engine running on Saturn than on PC at the time, but the vision and skill of Lobotomy software need to be acknowledged.

As for Quake, the exclusive maps of the Saturn version are REALLY good and alone make that version worth playing.

Funny to think DN3D and Quake shared the same engine, at least on Saturn.

[Anonymous No.4660945]

I'm definitely going to pick up the other two at some point, they all look pretty awesome.

So in terms of the levels, if I understand correctly, all of the original PC levels are included except the 4 secret levels which are replaced by 4 Saturn-exclusive levels right? If so, that's pretty awesome. I'm really looking forward to playing this.

I don't remember how many secret levels there are in the Saturn version. I vividly remember 2 at least.

Quake is the most impressive of the 3, and in interviews they claimed they pushed the engine to the max for it, but framerate does drop at times in the Saturn version, depending on how many 3D models there are on screen usually.

Level design in DN3D is often dubbed down compared to the PC version. For instance something like Fusion Station had to be made simpler and even cut into several map files; I think it's a good example of the pros and cons of 3D vs 2D engine in 1996-1997, everybody was losing their shit over true 3D but some things DN3D did just couldn't translate to full 3D at the time.

That's okay, console ports are always going to have to make concessions so those kind of things are expected. The sheer novelty of getting to play a great version of a game like Duke alone, with features like NetLink to boot, is really cool. What I like about these type of console ports is that they usually offer a somewhat unique experience in terms of visual style and gameplay which is a nice contrast with PC originals, Quake 2 on PSX/N64 both being good examples.

I actually tried playing Powerslave on the PS1 recently but frankly I was underwhelmed. The PS1 version just felt like such shit. I'm going to give it another try on Saturn because it seems like it's a highly superior version with better controls and the like.

What the hell is wrong with /vr/? Why do we have all these retards asking for opinions on games they’ve already purchased? Do these same people rush home from the movie theater to read reviews on the film they just watched? Do you ask if the steak is good after you’ve already been served salmon? You have the game now, just go play it, what does our opinion matter now? Maybe Saturn Quake sucks? Could be the worst version! Too bad for you! You already bought it!

Yeah, the PS1 version of Powerslave feels much worse especially in terms of combat. They also got rid of fun stuff like bomb jumping.

By this logic, you should never even come here to talk about anything, "LOL DUDE JUST GO PLAY YOUR GAMES WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THEM?", I can't speak for everyone but avoiding buyer's remorse has nothing to do with it, I just like talking about games.

Why were PCs so late to the hardware acceleration party? It's funny seeing all these 90's software-rendered shooters that had to be almost completely rewritten to take advantage of console graphics.

[Anonymous No.4662121]

Have you played the N64 version? If so, which would you consider better and / or more atmospheric? I like the vivid colors of the 64 version but I like how the Saturn version manages to blend the gritty darkness of the original with some subtle colors, I also like all of the crazy cheats and easter eggs. 64 is pretty bare bones outside of including 2 player multi.

[Anonymous No.4662123]

>>4660491

Let us know how it is. If I had a Saturn, I'd pick this up for sure. I was blown away by how fun the N64 version was, but I think a big part of that has more to do with how fast and engaging Quake is as a game.

Take some pics or video and let us know how you like it going through --- particularly how the Saturn version looks and plays different.

[Anonymous No.4662654]

>>4662123
Will do for sure. I also enjoyed the N64 version immensely. It may not have all the bells and whistles of GE/PD/Turok but IMO it's the smoothest playing FPS on the console. Great framerate, controls, etc.

The controls are even more clunky. It's really unenjoyable on anything besides the PC version, but some people are more sensitive to stuff like input lag and framerate than others.

I wasn't here in 2008, but if that's true, then good. Reddit is cringey circlejerk full of insufferable, hyper-sensitive, liberal faggots with terrible opinions. If that's how 4chan used to be, then I'm glad it's the cesspool it is now, because I would rather be able to have discussions where everyone has strong opinions and calls the other person autistic than have to walk on eggshells trying to not to offend some weak-willed pussy that will immediate derail the topic of discussion to admonish you for being a big meanie.
