Video Game General v8.01D : PC Gaming Golden Age, Big Box (Part 1)

Cherry has a run and Adam has a dash. They make the game fun to play.

Rollback netcode for T7? YAS

It’s 10 bucks on Steam and maybe 10 on PSN as well. :pray:

Shocked at the Shadow Warrior 3 reveal, I still need to give the new Shadow Warrior games a try actually, hoping it harkens back to the build era with big open ended levels and secrets. From what I hear the first new Shadow Warrior is more like a Serious Sam/Painkiller type and 2 is a looter shooter? Gonna be keeping an eye. Need to update the FPS thread at some point.

So I beat Panzer Dragoon Orta earlier, had to switch to easy mode though which then made it too easy, gonna keep at it though since it’s really fun. Kinda Doom 2’s itself with the middle few levels imo, not that they were bad it’s just the opening 4 levels kicked ass and then the next 3 or so eh not so much. The bosses were mostly all stellar though, maybe the stage 3 boss was my favourite I dunno I found all of them enjoyable except maybe the weird missile defence Idol thing in stage 4.

also absolute banger

How would you say Samus stacks up against DOOM Slayer?

Doom Slayer is just OP as a character at this point really. Samus is an elite hunter and Doom Slayer is a heavily armed God killer Batman pretty much.

Edit: This is based on ignorance at best though since my time with Metroid is limited to Super Metroid, but afaik Samus is always portrayed as just being an extremely competent bounty hunter, no? Well outside of Other M I suppose.

For MS this would be a win, controlling that group of developers and IP if AT&T is that dumb is a steal for a few hundred million.

I thought its 2 years.

It might be. I thought they initially said at least 12 or 18 months. But that is at minimum.

Given the direction Microsoft wants to go with Xbox exclusives won’t be to their benefit. They should take a page from Amazon’s playbook.

Alright…kinda need M$ to stop now. They’re just waving that big dick money because they can now without thought.

I don’t get MS’s philosophy on this. The biggest feature of next gen consoles is the SSD, by keeping games capable of running on the XB1, they are minimizing the benefits of that feature. They got smoked by the PS4 and even the Switch blew by the XB1 in less than three years. I don’t get them holding on to that userbase. To make things worse, it’s going to handicap them against PS5 exclusive titles. What’s the point of having what seems to be more powerful hardware if you aren’t going to take advantage of it.

I have absolutely no clue WTF MS is doing either. I’m completely over Halo, Gears of War, and Forza and have been for a long time and they have nothing as far as exclusives go other than those franchises. So whatever they show on those won’t get me to buy the console.

Now if Killer Instinct 2020 was announced at launch, and it wasn’t being worked on by Iron Galaxy, then I’d be a lot more interested. But I know that isn’t even a possibility.

There’s always Blinx the Time Sweeper

Lol…completely forgot that Blinx was a thing. That character is in back alley somewhere with no teeth in a cardboard box.

Blinx was cool. Only played the first one. The harddrive recording was awesome :+1:

I think it was developed by Art Toon, which was comprised of ex-Sonic Team members.

I’ve never thought of this comparison, actually… I’m barely a fan of Metroid; I only played Metroid Prime on Gamecube for a short time, so most of my experience with that franchise was from the original and then Super on SNES. The tech she has is amazing though… but the 2016 Doom…it’s something about the presentation there that constantly drives home the point of “Doom Slayer = BAMF.” There’s so many quality moments in battle that kept me going “ohhh I MUST save a clip of THAT.”

It would be great if Hexen got the same treatment as well—give it a remake with today’s graphics + gameplay that’s on steroids. I’d love to see that.

Pretty sure Samus would turn into a ball followed by running away at the sight of DOOM Guy, followed by DOOM Guy firing juan shot from his Big Fucking Gun. Samus would melt from the AoE splash damage. RIP.
