[QUOTE=Tuskin;50844279]I could be wrong, but Quake 3's MP was the most popular of the games AFAIK.[/QUOTE]According to a recent interview in Retro Gamer magazine with Id's biz guy at the time, Quake 3 well outsold the first two games despite the frequent online worrying about the lack of single player campaign and 3D accelerator requirement... although that might be because it was the first game in the series to require CD-Key authentication to play online.

Nowadays, you've got way, WAY more options to choose from, so Quake Champions just doesn't seem that appealing when you've got so many other options. Quake Champions being an arena shooter just isn't all that special anymore. Plus, the whole "heroes with abilites" gimmick is already done, (see: Overwatch) and it already has a substantial player-base. Tbh, it's just gonna get overshadowed by existing games, since it doesn't actually bring anything "new" to the table. That, and if people really, REALLY want a Quake arena shooter, Quake Live still exists. So yeah, prospects aren't really all that great for Quake Champions.

Did anyone else spend far too long using that massive central lift to momentum jump up to this Rune trial? [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/v6tQ47W.png[/img_thumb] Because I felt pretty fucking stupid when I went through the door after finally getting it.

no, but i did spend an embarrasingly long time at the part after you find the hologram i did not know that i could shoot things other than demons and barrels

Here's the recording of the Making Of Doom 4 stream at QuakeCon: [url]https://www.twitch.tv/bethesda/v/82131729[/url] [url]https://www.twitch.tv/bethesda/v/82135695[/url] [url]https://www.twitch.tv/bethesda/v/82139751[/url] [url]https://www.twitch.tv/bethesda/v/82144251[/url] Fascinating look behind the scenes, including footage of some very old versions.

I demand a documentary on the evolution of Foundry right this second.

Speaking of Quake multiplayer. Anyone remembers or knows [url=https://www.warsow.gg/]Warsow[/url]? It's a nice little Quake 3 Arena successor which is both free and supports Windows, Mac and Linux. It plays exactly like Quake 3/Live but the latest update brought one new feature called walljump. Where with one press of the button you can: -Walljump (duh) -Grind like in THPS (No need to control your balance. Just keep holding that button) -Unreal Tournament-like dodge It's completely open source and has some SDK tools for modding. But sadly this little gem is underrated and ignored by most players who are into this genre.

Is it any better than Sauerbraten?

[QUOTE=krail9;50848424][IMG]http://puu.sh/qtYET.png[/IMG] :frown:[/QUOTE] Hence why this game needs more love and be in more attention. The game is still being updated and works well on potato PC. The soundtrack is pretty dope: [video=youtube;DY0cLtQk_rY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY0cLtQk_rY[/video]

Whoops, I made it so enemies can Hadoken now. :ohno: [vid]https://cdn.streamable.com/video/mp4/sa0y.mp4[/vid] Next is to actually draw sprites for a new enemy :v:

that ain't no hadouken that's just straight up shit flinging

Had to reinstall Windows aaaaaaand my Doom 3 and 4 saves are gone I don't really have a reason to play 3 anymore I guess [editline]8th August 2016[/editline] Why the fuck do games put saves in My Documents anyhow?

It also makes it easier to locate them, transfer them and back them up if you uninstall your game.

I quite like it when games put them there, nice to have a central location for certain things. Problem is it's far from consistent whether games put them there or not. It's either there, %appdata% (roaming and local), game's own folder, or some special snowflake place I can only find after Googling it.

[vid]https://my.mixtape.moe/kdctjt.webm[/vid] it bothered me that damage knockback in Doom is always horizontal so i made some fake hitscan projectiles to add some verticality

Being able to get enemies out of my way is much too rare feature these days.

Why on earth did they add such nice options such as removing the HUD and crosshairs, and even a photomode, but not include these options for SnapMap? I wanted to make a little fun trailer for my levels. I can't even find a cvar command for hiding the hud. What the fuck.

I don't know why they made it like 50/50 MP and SP but with none of the functionality of either.

What the fuck, somebody made Tetris [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/494654052793494502/2DC8BA91C94565CD751ADE2FAE2E4B86103A51E2/[/t] It's fully functional and even has menus that highlight and accept user input

Took a whack at trying to make a new ammo counter for GMOTA's upcoming overhauled arm cannon.
