Unreal is probably one of my favorite late 90s FPSes. It's atmosphere is just so amazing.
So, importing textures from Half Life to Doom? Any perils or pitfalls to be mindful of?
Unreal suffered from having buttons that don't tell you what they do, as well as from different variations of same enemies looking too similar, so I thought you were fighting same Skaarj warriors the whole game until the mothership blackout. It was also ridiculously long for an fps.

They are very large compared to normal Doom, if even Duke 3d textures make you feel like a child.
[QUOTE=Cows Rule;50940848]So, importing textures from Half Life to Doom? Any perils or pitfalls to be mindful of?[/QUOTE]Unless you're aiming for a source port that supports true color, Doom's 256 color palette does not greatly accommodate Half-Life's textures. Also, again unless you're using a source port, Doom's textures must be in particular power-of-two resolutions, and not all Half-Life textures follow this rule, so you may have to cut up or resize some.
[QUOTE=Fox Powers;50936231]I got to play the demo
Sadly even with Vulkan, my 940M was unable to keep 60FPS at low settings, 576p [sp]you could say chances of running a solid 60fps are DOOOMED[/sp] :v:
Even if I played it with a 30FPS lock, it's still a very good game :ok:[/QUOTE]
I tried the demo out with a 660m at 360p to get playable framerates. I can't wait to build something that will play it.

I know 640x480 is extreme enough but [I]360P???[/I]
[sp]you didn't try just running it at 30fsps? or you'd rather go big and go full 60[/sp]

A lot of PC gamers think 30fps is absolutely unacceptable. I personally have no problem with it, but some people strive for speed and smoothness above all else. I don't blame them. I'm just used to having a shitty PC, I guess.
once you get used to playing games at 60fps, you don't want to go back
while I dont mind playing at 60fps, Im just so used to having shit framerates from having a shitty computer growing up that playing at 20-40 fps doesnt bother me that much. I played WoW and LotRO for years with those kinds of framerates to the point where seeing clips of games in at 60+ fps can look unnatural at times. Its the same feeling people got when they saw The Hobbit at 48fps.
for me, as long as its stable and at least above like 20 fps then its perfectly playable
I realize im in a huge minority here though
I prefer 60 FPS myself but I can deal with 30. Anything below 24 is unbearable to me, though.

Oi m8, I played through various games at like 15FPS, some shooters included. Fight the power of people having rigs powerful enough to enjoy things at proper FPS!

It really depends on the game in question. Audiosurf, for example, feels incredibly choppy even as low as 55fps. Personally my limit is around 40-45fps in general. Rarely a game feels playable to me as low as the upper 20s.

I just finished playing Crysis 3 at 30 FPS. Every game should support locking the framerate at 30 like C3 does. I could lower the settings, but then the framerate would go up and down, from 45 to 75, and it felt like the game would slow down and then speed up. Constant 30 is better than unstable higher framerate, plus I could set everything on ultra and even turn on vsync. The game itself was a disappointment though, amazing graphics, but the campaign was boring :(

That is very true. I'd rather take a stable 30 than an unstable 30-46 :v:

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of Going Medieval On Their Asses
I got the subweapon ammo restock mechanic in thanks to help from Term, and now I added a nice little graphic to show you.
I've been used to playing at framerates under 30, so when I'm using my actual new computer and a game drops below it, I don't really get bothered.

give that fire additive renderstyle
also, will they die if they charge into water?
Countdown for something Duke Nukem related has started over at [URL="dukenukem.com"]dukenukem.com[/URL]
[URL="https://twitter.com/dukenukemgame"]Also the Twitter account is up![/URL]
It would be cool if it was a throwback at the first 2 Duke Nukems
But then again, if Gearbox has anything to do with it, I'm not sure I will want to touch it.
Duke Nukem 5ever? Or since this are modern times the actual title will be DUKE NUKEM™

I dunno, I'm fairly adaptable
30FPS is acceptable with a controller, with m+kb it is total hell (heh)
[QUOTE=E.C.S;50946916]Duke Nukem 5ever? Or since this are modern times the actual title will be DUKE NUKEM™[/QUOTE]
To be honest considering the franchise's track record I'd be okay with them going for just DUKE NUKEM and try putting things back on track a little.
The Gearbox Duke thing is probably that re-release with the new episode that TerminX alluded to during his scuffles. Apparently Gearbox's custom source port was [i]pretty rough[/i] at that time, hopefully things have improved in that regard now that cooler heads have prevailed.
Between this effort, Romero's Blackroom, and probably a few indie devs we don't know about yet, I think a good few game developers were planning on Doom 4 being a lot worse than it turned out to be, so that they could swoop in and "fill the gap". Funny how things turn out, eh?
Go figure that a Duke Nukem game would be six months late to its own birthday.
Andrew Hulshult still has Duke Nukem Reloaded on his Twitter banner as one of his current works, so I still have hopes that it may be getting a revival.

Oh fuck, or it could just be Bazinga Nukem: Duke Nukem 3D Never Happened Edition
Meanwhile that BUILD Engine Bombshell tie-in faded into obscurity after Bombshell bombed.
