Oh god... Brace your ears: [video=youtube;WjEnNa9w0xQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjEnNa9w0xQ[/video] How can you fuck up this bad in the Audio department? Even the music sounds muffled now. And of course, the Firefly enemy uses Lizard Trooper sounds, and the Incinerator reuses the Freezethrower's sounds -- is there anything related to the fire mechanic that isn't half-assed?
That's actually quite a good remix of stalker, but it sounds like it would benefit from not being run through whatever soundfont it's on
[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;51086208]That's actually quite a good remix of stalker, but it sounds like it would benefit from not being run through whatever soundfont it's on[/QUOTE] It sounds like there's some filter on it that affects the remainder of the sounds as well. I really hope this is older footage and that they fixed the quality by now, because wow does it sound bad compared to the previous versions.
Wow how do you fuck up that bad, Duke's voice is so muffled. Can't hear a damn thing he says.

Oh my god watch the firefly's rotations at around 8:28, how did they fuck that up. [B]how [/B]Oh and of course the Firefly enemy lights you on fire for a rapid DoT effect, that's real fun. CONSIDER MY ASS STATUS OFFICIALLY CHAPPED
It sounds like they held a Walmart mic up to some old laptop speakers and directly re-recorded the SFX.
Audio sounds fine to me.
It really doesn't.

is it me or is there an assload of SSAO

Gearbox loves memes. I'm also expecting Harambe and Doge at some point. EDIT: I never said I liked those memes, I'm just saying Gearbox is probably gonna add them.
[QUOTE=Genericenemy;51081190]I used this [URL="https://archive.org/details/1964-60FPS-Edition"]specific package[/URL] to get the game going, just make sure to read the instructions. I only experienced slowdowns in some areas but I'd wager that has more to do with N64 emulation in general being shit than the tools I'm using.[/QUOTE] late as shit but thank you so much for linking that
[QUOTE=Doom64hunter;51086030]Even the music sounds muffled now.[/QUOTE]That's just whatever guitar sound Lee Jackson was using. The new music isn't MIDI. [QUOTE=RikohZX;51086917]is it me or is there an assload of SSAO[/QUOTE]There's a lot of it in the new renderer. You can play in the old 2.5D renderer. Anyhoo, [url=http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/2016/09/a-look-at-the-new-duke-nukem-maps-with-allen-h-blum-iii-and-richard-levelord-gray/]Gearbox posted screenshots of every new map in the new episode[/url] with some behind-the-scenes notes from the level designers that are generally to the effect of "man, not having to make the map playable on a 486 feels so good!" [quote="Levelord"]Choosing London was Randy Pitchford’s idea. He thought he could hammer out a Duke Nukem level over the Christmas holiday! I knew it was impossible, but I kept quiet. *Smiles* I’m still snickering now.[/quote]
I'm just excited to play some new maps from levelord
[QUOTE=Yummy Pie;51086848]It really doesn't.[/QUOTE] "I dunno it sounds fine to me" "Your opinion is WRONG"
[QUOTE=Kegan;51086327]What have they done to you, duke? Oh my god watch the firefly's rotations at around 8:28, how did they fuck that up. [B]how[/B] [/QUOTE] It's a beta sprite that eventually became the Lizard Trooper we have now. I guess the choppiness of the rotations is the result of that. There's just no excuse for the Incinerator ammo pickup however, look at that awful eyesore of a recolor. [editline]22nd September 2016[/editline] I just noticed... are they really using the explosion sprite as a flame projectile? I'm fucking done.
One brush with the flames took over 50 health in one go over time, and the Firefly looks like it came out of Total Meltdown with how jank the sprites are. For a first map that shit is crazy to be throwing a mini-boss version of the Battlelord your way alongside a bunch of other enemies at once in a small area. Also what the fuck is with the giggling faces that kept popping up and away, did Duke smoking a bong start making him trip out or some shit
Looks like Gearbox ripped Duke a new one instead of it being vice versa. :(
Will I get chastised if I say I like the way the new renderer looks? :v:
[QUOTE=jimbobjoe1234;51086953]There's probably one later one. Gearbox loves memes. I'm also expecting Harambe and Doge at some point.[/QUOTE] Eh, too close to release for a Harambe reference. [editline]22nd September 2016[/editline] [QUOTE]“What’s a famous landmark that can actually be built in Duke 3D?” asks Blum. “With the limitations of the build engine, one floor plus one ceiling per sector and slopes, what’s a real world place that can actually be built? The Giza Pyramid! The Maze outside of the Pyramid is based off of the real ruins, and the inside of the Pyramid is based off of the actual layout of the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Also note the references to The Fifth Element and Stargate SG-1.”[/QUOTE] That sounds pretty cool.
[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;51088186]Will I get chastised if I say I like the way the new renderer looks? :v:[/QUOTE] it looks fancier but it clashes with the retro aesthetic just like duke's voice clashes with the other sound effects
[QUOTE=Butthurter;51087804]are you saying you really cant tell if a sound is muffled[/QUOTE] I don't know, maybe he doesn't mind that.
[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;51088873]Are you seriously sitting there defending how it sounds like, because right now it's like a speaker submerged in jello trying to play the sound effects of the game[/QUOTE] No I'm saying his post is fucking stupid because he's telling someone to stop disagreeing with him
[QUOTE=Butthurter;51087804]are you saying you really cant tell if a sound is muffled[/QUOTE] Doom3 BFG also had much worse sound quality than vanilla, perhaps there's some developer trend we're all unaware of :v:
[QUOTE=hoodoo456;51089418]No I'm saying his post is fucking stupid because he's telling someone to stop disagreeing with him[/QUOTE] Except your post is stupid because the sound quality is OBJECTIVELY shittier? Like, the quality of the sound is factually worse than Megaton Edition, this is verifiable, you can literally compare both and hear that one is muffled and shitty compared to the other which is clear and crisp. This isnt a game of opinion, this is observation on actual degraded audio quality.
[QUOTE=Butthurter;51087804]are you saying you really cant tell if a sound is muffled[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's not really a matter of opinion, the quality is pretty rough. I was kind of hoping they'd at least give us HD sprites or something. I don't know if there's anything even worth keeping in World Tour aside from the new episode.
Deathmatch [I]just[/I] dropped and I can't find any players. Ouch.
how exactly do I run DN3D mods? I'm new to this and I'm kinda confused. nothing I searched for helped me out.
[QUOTE=hoodoo456;51089418]No I'm saying his post is fucking stupid because[B] he's telling someone to stop disagreeing with him[/B][/QUOTE] okay [QUOTE=Yummy Pie;51086848]It really doesn't.[/QUOTE] ???
